Looks great Guru. Congrats! Can anyone comment on the accuracy of this watch compared to the Gen? Is this the ceramic case model?

How is the accuracy of the colour of the bezel compared to the genuine?

This is very accurate, the gen is darker, however there are some things that need to be changed:

1. The gen has darker hands markers and darker bezel.
2. The caseback on these full ceramic, when you buy with thte full ceramic it says 309 on the caseback, and it should be 301, the factories copied it from the split second Ice Bang with a 309 caseback, so either you ask for a SS one when you buy (non limited edition one) or wait for a project Mikey2008 and I started (what I am I talking about, I just suggested it, Mikey2008 has done everything!) that is made from Titanium and has the corret markings, since the Gen Caseback is really dark, not SS.
3. The DW font and movement flaws, like all V1's


This is and the All Black are the best looking V1's, really accurate, and tbonner, just wait for the new bezel (I shouldn't say) and you should be Golden!

Thanks for the info kimerathon! I have asked one of the trusted dealers about this and apparently it is out of stock at the factory currently.

I have a V1 SS/Ceramic Big Bang (like the one in your avatar) that I recently got and I love it but this watch makes me want to have a second BB!

I guess I'll wait a little as I have a couple of other watches on the way soon :)

It is not out of stock, the dial is out of stock, they made some bad batches that were rejected, and so far, they haven't produced the dial like guru's, so that is the delay. Plus the new ice bang is coming out real soon, even though it is an EVO, you guys will love it!

Will the new Evo Ice Bang come from the V1 or V5 factory?

For the Body Bang I wish they would:

1-Change the color of the hands to make them black. The color on the markers could be improved a bit also.

2-Raise and bevel the crystal a bit

3-Bevel the date window which is too rounded now.

For the V5 ABII

1-Raise and bevel the crystal a bit

2-Bevel the date window which is too rounded

3-Lume is weak

What else needs to be done for the V5 ABII fusion Kim?

So will the watch like guru's be available at some time in the near future? Is the difference between this one and the Evo Ice Bang coming out just the Baton markers vs numerals? Any other difference? I think I prefer the numerals.

Unique bezel, I like it :)
The good news is also the softer strap, looks better. I may go for one, if available separately.

I don't think the crystal will change, you would need a TX crystal or a Mikey2008 Crystal with the blue hue.

The DW they will never fix, it is a minor issue and these are hot sellers any way.

All lume is weak from reps, but also from Gens, these aren't pams you know!

More like Godfather!!!

Haha! Excellent, the HBB's are a totally underestimated watch compared to umm Rolex ;)
Everyone should have atleast 1 HBB in their collection.

Personally I will see what HBB will come next, all black or even wait for the Evo Icebang even though I got the Icebang, I strongly feel for the darker themed one's for future purchase...

funny this came up again - it looks a lo like the crown on the new lite v1?? and the bezel also looks like lite v1.......
I'm still not on top of the problem with the lug plates, so can't comment on that.
