mwee Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 I have read a lot on the rep HBBs and I really like them especially the HBB Ice Bang and especially the customized Ice Bangs as seen on this forum with the ceramic bezel instead of the steel bezel. I have been thinking and am thinking of doing this so need some comments and opinions on whether this will work. Have attached a pic of a gen Ice Bang for reference First - Get a HBB Blackk Magic Full Ceramic with brushed ceramic bezel. Second - Swap put the dial with one from the rep Ice Bang and also the second hand from the rep Ice Bang Third - Get the hour and minute hands, chrono hands from the HBB Aryton Senna and swap it. Last step, if I still have any money left is to get some black lume done on all the hands and swap DW with ETA one and if possible AR coating by either Chieftang or Jakub. Please, any advice or comments would be appreciated. Of course this will only be after my UPO franken project. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donpedro Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Um, sounds very expensive! What look are you trying to attain? Sounds like you simply want an Ice bang with brushed ceramic bezel, or am I missing something? Cheers! Johnny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 agree... the cost will become rather high. Might as well you talk to the dealer to do all the dirty work for you so that you don't end up with 3 HBBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwee Posted September 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 what I am looking for is a Ice Bang but with ceramic bezel. However, I believe the Ice Bang has also a ceramic case as well. Also, the latest version has the hands that has the black lumi like in the rep aryton Senna HBB. the hands on the ice bang reps are wrong for this model (at least the latest one). what I will do is get the parts (if possible) and of course not all 3 watches, that would be way too expensive. Like what Takashi said, get the dealer to do it all. Actually, the biggest problem may be the black lumi, can anyone do black lumi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
