I need help
The QC pic is arrived and I have something to ask. The minute arrow lume layer seems to be more bright and a little bit thiner in the middle. Is that just the illusion from picture or is it problem?

I think it's an illusion with the "brightness"

Take a look at the tips of the hour markers.

Only the ones at the same angle as the minute hand have the "brightness" while the others at different angles don't.

If you also look at the other pictures the "Brigjtness" on the hour markers switch from tip brightness to base brightness

I willing to bet that if your TD is willing to send you a pic of the lume in the dark, you will see that minute hand will not be evenly applied. But then again if you look at the lume shots on some of the TDs' sites their own stock pics will also show hands with crappy lume application on most of the them. By the way for this particular model, the sub dial at 6 should have 3 sticks not 4.

Thanks for your answers I give my "OK to ship". Let`s check how is my luck in rep`s world.
When the watch is comming I`ll post some pics.

Hi all,

I'm actually thinking of purchasing an All Black II but am kinda confused about the number of version available. I was on the Puretime site and I found 3 listing posted on different dates...

http://www.puretime.co/category_search/?search_with_change_category_ability=yes&categoryID=74&search_name=all+black+ceramic+II&search_price_from=&search_price_to=&search_in_subcategory=1&advanced_search_in_category=Find

Could someone please enlighten me a bit on which version is the best/most accurate?

Thanks!

 

[ALE7575]

The watch is the same, the strap changes
2nd and third are the same.
But three are V6 All Black II

As usual, thanks ALE. In terms of accuracy of the rep, is it well made?

This is not the best HBB V6, but it is very good.
The best ABII of course
If you like the look of this watch, buy it with confidence

I am willing to purchase one of these V6s but they all look really nice and I don't know which one I should get. Any recommendations?

Dear ALE,

You know my Graal lacks a SS caseback :http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showpost.php?p=1563640&postcount=260

It's made from : BIG BANG TOURBILLON BLACK SKELETON FLYING TOURBILLION
http://intime.co/product.php?id_product=1222
And ss bezel.


I'm wondering if there's any HBB rep that I can purchase that I can swap caseback to get a 100% SS HBB Tourbi...

Hi akelku
I don't know about the maker of your tourby and maybe it would be difficult to know it
I cannot know if V6 casebacks will fit your watch

Due to that I asked you in other thread or maybe by PM what is the material of the caseback you have.

If the caseback is SS DLC coated or painted, you can use 600-800 sandpaper to remove the coating and get SS colour
It is better if you can use a lathe to do the removing, with a late or similar the result will be perfect !!
You could use a drill machine with a wood tool to support the caseback inserted in the drill machine (like a lathe).

Like everyone here.. thanks ALE for the thread. I've managed to get through maybe 50% of it. Hopefully this is something of a contribution as I really didn't see anything about adding gen hublt rubber straps as a simple and affordable mod. Maybe I missed and just as bad as "hey should I get this one!" and it not being a V6 like I have read 40 times in this thread.

Anyways I recived a modded IceBang with a tungsten bezel with a defective croc gummy so I went to a AD and they directed me to their service center in the same mall. I picked up 2 oem rubber straps. One smooth and one ribbed. Both are weirdly priced individually at $100 and $115. So the toal for each strap was $215.

I just wanted to chime in that these are at first glance not to much differnent than the reps until you install them and put them on. One major thing so far as comfort is that the gen being MUCH more pliable rubber (and that vanilla smell!) they sit on the wrist much nicer. I have a large wrist but on my SS V6 with a ribbed strap it always looked a little weird as the rubber didn't really curve around the wrist right. I can't imagine on a smaller wrist how this might look.

The gen straps were as easy to buy as a Big Mac and as simple as wearing in a gen and saying I want a few rubber straps for my Big Bangs at home.

If this has been discussed in nauseum somewhere and I missed it sorry, but I cannot imagine not doing this as the wach sits nicer, smells better, and has a more gen feel. Here is a pic of mine and a wrist shot trying to show how the gen rubber "curves" around the wrist better because it is more pliable than the rep...

BTW if anyone has a full set of Mikey Ti's and the coorect H screwdriver please PM me. I installed them on the SS above and make a big difference to me. Although I did manage to slightly ding one using the crappy E-bay h-driver and was to impatient to wait for the right one form a TD. Lessoned learned use the right tool and take the advice ALE. I'm going to be buying all of the ones he recomends as this is a "banging" rep watch!

Dear ALE,
Thanks for the advise
it looks plastic material to me... I'll take a pic and post it asap.

 

[hilarryus]

I don't know if this is offtopic, but... I just want to confirm one thing.

This watch is not a V6, right? http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=279_283&products_id=4103 If it's not a V6, is there a V6 version available?

I really like the looks of it. I've looked around on the forums and understand that it's just a modded version of the All black but I like the color of the case on the Tempus a lot more.

Why is this watch so damn expensive though?

After doing more searching, I found a version of the Tempus for half the price... http://www.asian7750.com/cn/product_show.asp?big_pid=&ps_id=&P_id=1553&ti=

Why is there such a huge variance in price? How are these two watches different?

 

[ALE7575]

Hi Mikewatch
Congrats for your straps purchase. I think it is a real bargain
And the straps fit very well your watches and your wrist
It was really as easy as you say?
