So, you pulled the trigger, Klinkster?

That's a looker for certain! That one and the OG stainless steel version are my two favorites.

lol

Mr. Hooligan, no pull trigger yet.. but have money in sweaty little hand and nose pressed against shop window..

kinda looking for a push from any owner(s) - though it is way likely I will buy just because is so much of nice looker..

even without shove from any owners.. this is big deal to me because i always looking for bargain, best price, etc.

I do think I have line on a source of supply, is off board dealer.. lol

tightwad with an HBB? Must be possible!

think the picture is ofthe regular ceramic bezel HBB?
Black Magic is my personal favorite of the HBB's, but
if you are looking for an excuse not to spend the money...

1.) only the bezel is ceramic, rest of parts are PVD coated which is not accurate to Gen.
2.) dial with pattern looks best, picture you have attached shows this. Black Magic is only with solid black dial.
3.) $$$

Cheers,
M

Kilnk, if you buy this watch, it will become your favorite rep and the best quality rep watch you will have purchased so far.
It is truly a thing of beauty. They don't get much better than this, so go ahead and get it, you will be a happy camper! :D

@mreynolds767

picture is of what i am ordering.. pvd or plastic pipe, is ok with me.. lol I do like the carbon dial,
the ceramic bezel, and can live with pvd body.. at any rate, price is super.. maybe my ignorance
is finally being rewarded!

Mr. Hambone:
"it will become your favorite rep and the best quality rep watch you will have purchased so far.

You have my thoughts exactly! Thank you much!! Especially nice is that is at price I can justify : )

Just waiting for the WU info now (is guy I bought much stuff of, now he has new address..
when asking for quote I forgot to ask his WU... darn, now will have to wait to send!

Will take pictures when it cmes.. already got a dremel to work on the clasp issue.. and just for fun getting
a Hublot screwdriver.. dunno why, but heck, there it is.

OK, so looks as if the term "Black Magic" is loosey goosey..

At any rate, for me is the Carbon Fiber dial, Polished Ceramic Bezel, and pvd case..

Here is description of Hublot Black Magic from PT:

Item: Hublot Big Bang Black Magic

Specification: hours, minutes, sub-seconds, chronograph, date

Case Material: Brushed ceramic bezel; 316L Stainless Steel with PVD coated

Movement: Asian 7750 automatic movement with 28.8K vph

Glass: Genuine Sapphire Crystal with double coated AR

Strap: Rubber strap with PVD coated deployant buckle.

Diameter: 44.5mm

Waterproof: Yes

Price: US$768 without shipping fee (purchase now with free HBB screw driver!)

The above has the brushed carbon bezel, and smooth dial..

at any rate, I now have the WU info, and ready to launch!

I feel like a noob with a first watch order.. got my chair by the mailbox all ready!

: )

is this not avail as hbb lite? should be very cheap with pvd bezel. if you not like pvd bezel, you can get ceramic bezel for 300US$. still lots cheaper.

hbb lite is only 220$ and same watch except for ar coating

hmmm

yes, that is one way to go...

for me, pvd case, carbon fiber dial, good AR and polished ceramic bezel

is the way to go.. for that package, at $578 (including shipping)

seems a good deal, and no messing about

to need case to be sent out to be coated with pvd, or crystal sent out for AR..

is a done deal, and is not 'light'..

is more simple, and price is right..

: )

One thing holding me back....7750!!
I have only owned 2 of them, and my experience is 100%.......FAILURE!!
I feel more secure with a junk Cn. 21 j movement than one of those...
I have yet to have one fail me, and I've got at least a dozen of them!! :D

@robertK.. lol!

of course, frugality of price on this on decided quicker.. 578 delivered is like a couple of benjamins lower
than elsewhere.. : )

@frankt8242,

as for 7750, the new breed of high beat seems to do very well, my experiences have been all good..

of course, one can have it serviced..

little things like not setting date between 10 and 2 are good idea..

I just finished sending WU.. having the watch sent to a way out of the way place,

Silver City, New Mexico.. deliveries there take longer than normal, but for some reason

i am on a customs 'bad guy' list.. lol

is going to be hard to wait..

Congrats Klink, It may seem funny but buying this watch will actually save you money on reps, because it is so damn gorgeous and well made that you will find it very difficult to find anything else to surpass it. Get ready to begin 2008
in style!
