Does anyone have any experience with the Evolution with diamond bezel that Ruby has on her thread? The watch looks like a beauty and looking at a possible purchase. How close to gen is this watch? I appreciate any help.

i have this watch coming and it is smokin!!! the bezel is expensive because it is not cut glass or crystal. i asked ruby about this before ordering it and she said she worked in a jewelry factory when she was young, (she is only 23) apparently she was the victim of child labor in china. she said their is no doubt these are really good stones.
enjoy,
Here is a gen Grey Dial:
Here is my black/silver rep, it actually looks even better on the black calf but I haven't taken pictures yet:

Yes they are very white (i've seen some reps with "dirty" looking stone). They have nice sparkle, but are deep set so not too much sparkle from across the room. With the polished case, and nice A/R, they just kind of blend it and are not overstated, unlike my diamond president I have never had someone say it is too blingy in person. Pictures have a hard time capturing the flow of this piece.
I'm looking at this one too, but right now I'm so blown away by the HBB that I'm speechless. Just got it. It has actually made me wonder if I'm done collecting reps.
Also, this is the first pic of the diamond bezel BCE with a WHITE dial. Is this a gen pic or is it a rep available in a different dial color? I swear, I love the black/silver subdial, but if they did the diamond on white, it would be almost irresistable.
Seriously, though. This HBB has made me consider selling all my reps. On the other hand, it's almost inspired a new interest, because the idea of reps this good makes the BCE very tempting. I mean, I've got a uPO, Tag Link Chrono, IWC Ingy, old 007, IWC portugese, perfect sub, etc...

Thanks Supermanx for the great pics. The watch is a beauty. I guess I need to have one (or two).

Ruby can get the diamond bezel in any combination. I wish I would have waited a little longer for her to have access to both the diamond and the HBB, I would have saved a quite a bit of money.
Other then the HBB, the EVO is the best rep I've own (and I've owned alot of "good" reps). The HBB has some QC issues (loose screws, ect) but even with the minor issues it is an awsome watch.
I've emailed Ruby twice in the last week and can't get any response. I would love to order this watch, and I like experiencing w/ different dealers. I keep hearing great things, but she's not impressing me at all. Any suggestions?

just have patience, Ruby is a great dealer therefore, she is overwhelmed with messages. She'll get back to you and when she does you won't be disappointed.
If it helps I emailed Angus and he replied in like 5 hours with prices on both the ss strap and the calf.
