I have been looking at the BB for a while now and finally decided to pick one up, it was just my luck that a jewelry show happens to be in town (Las vegas). My friend went today and found a BB for under 4500, he took this one picture for me and I was wondering if I could get peoples opinion if its a legit buy. And some advise on what to look for, to make sure its real. Im waking up first thing in the morning to go check it out for myself |

Looks good as far as I can tell. The easiest way to pick out the replica is the shortened tic marks. I marked them with yellow. This is the fake. |

Yea I’m looking at getting one from Vegas in a couple of weeks, so I’ve being trying to do some research on prices to expect and set a realistic budget for myself. With the pilot bracelet from the mgm they have quoted, $6940 which is about £4506 (Still 1k cheaper than retail in the uk) So $4500 is a great price, assuming of course that it is new. Not sure what kind of % I should be aiming for to negotiate? A few posts have indicated 20% then other have said Vegas AD won’t budget on price much at all? Then I hear about an 8% price increate due for new stock on the 19th March? Can anyone comment from experience? |

Do make sure you are getting the BB specific Bracelet. |

I have been agonising over whether or not o wait for the new movement, buy a second hand one, a LE one as well as what strap / bracelet to get! Is there a way to spot if the bracelet is BB specific or not? Would an AD sell one that wasn’t? |
