Hublot ceramic bracelet, Eurowatches

**TurboFan** · 03-09-2008, 05:40 PM

I'm new to this forum (but not watches or forums in general), so I've searched for the last 2 hours on various topics. I'm new to the hobby, courtesy of a friend. I think. lol. Thanks for all the great stickies for newbies.

So, this weekend I saw the Hublot BB w/ ceramic band at a dealer in Vail. $18,500 was a little more than I wanted to pay, but I love the watch. I've seen a few reps with the rubber strap, but only one with the ceramic / metal bracelet at Eurowatches.com.

My questions is, are there others offering the bracelet, or the whole package (I've searched, found nada), and is Eurowatch a trustworthy site?

Thanks for the help!

Pure scam, steer clear. Pictures of geniune watches.

Do yourself a favour and buy from the dealers on this board.

The Hublots are not replicated with ceramic bracelets, only rubber.

Cheers!

EDIT: Welcome to the forums!

Ceramic bracelet has not been done yet. If they show one its probably a gen and then they will send you a crappy SS one painted black.

Thanks for the quick feedback!

I think the plain rubber band looks hot on the HBB

Considering it's, what, $250 for a ceramic bezel? The ceramic bracelet would be at least several hundred bucks, probably over a grand considering how much ceramic there is on it.

Theres full ceramic Channel J12's that are full ceramic case and band for 200 bucks. And Guess has full ceramic for cheap, i just dont see why the Hublots are that expensive. The bezel is a few hundred. It has to be expensive because of the demand either by the dealers or factories.

The Ceramic bracelets are between $2,000 and $4,000 (So I have heard) if ordered from an AD. I know for a fact the SS version is about $1,200. You have to give your gen serial number before they will order you just a bracelet due to the rep crack down.

The difference btwn the watch with the rubber strap and the ceramic bracelet is $2800.....damn! For a bracelet!.

Anyone have recs on whom to get the BB with ceramic bezel from? Not many people have it on their site or in their forum area.

Thanks

Thanks all for the welcome.

Looks like you found me pretty quick xray! Lol.

I see a ceramic hbb in my near future. I love the ceramic bracelet, but it'll be a long time before I drop that much on a watch. $2k on a Tag was a lot for me. Lol

I think the rubber bracelet is the way to go but I'm also partial for all rubber strapped watches - AP ROO, Pan, Hublot, IWC

To Xray - email Josh, he will send you a link for the Hublot. If you don't see it on someone's site, chances are they have them, just not able to show. Also, our very own dealer - puretimewatch.com has them up right now!

i was offered the ceramic bracelet for 1000$ in boston when i put on the real RG/ceramic.

the sales person even told me it was cheaper to get the RG/ceramic on the strap and pay 1000$ extra for the bracelet instead of paying almost 4000$ more for the watch with the bracelet already on!

$1000 for the ceramic bracelet? Wow I would have took them up on that deal, could have easily flipped it on TZ for at least double. SS bracelet from HBB is $1000, and yes they now verify serial number before they ship. Ceramic is $2500 if you ask the right person in HBB but wait on it is months (hence the ease of selling one on TZ).

**Questions** · 07-10-2008, 02:32 PM

well it was over a year ago when they were brand new, and the sales person really wanted to sell me the RG/ceramic HBB.

maybe he also liked the vintage panerai on my wrist? i dont know

but 18k? never ever! maybe for a lange that i can give to my grandson some day, but never for a 7750 powered watch.
