mjmurphy926 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Not a bad price. Too bad the dial isn't better. http://www.trustytime88.com/index.php?main...roducts_id=3102 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage_here Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 That looks polished though. The gen is matte. Savage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest carlsbadrolex Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Seems nice... I still wonder how they can make an entire case out of ceramic and offer the watch for $285 and then offer a bezel for an HBB for the same price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzanooo Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Yes, doubt it`s ceramic and besides the finish is wrong. Looks like a silver mirror in the dealer pics. Should be matte finish as said before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its beacuse they scam people on the HBB hype atleast that is my opinion. I saw this pam couple of days ago and i think it looks awful.

veyron Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Can't understand they finally make a ceramic case and then polish it while the gen has a matte PVD look??? Also why did they put double AR on it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 That little submarine on the dial kills me. What were they thinking? - Panerai that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmurphy926 Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Yep...It sucks that the case is polished. I wonder if there is a chance they will fix the finish soon. I agree that it seems like a lot of work to go through making a ceramic case and then get the finish wrong...Doesn't make much sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage_here Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 This is probably a dumb question, but can a ceramic case be bead blasted (or similar process) to make it matte? Savage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolli Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 no.... only with diamond tools. rolli This is probably a dumb question, but can a ceramic case be bead blasted (or similar process) to make it matte? Savage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
