    Bell & Ross, show me yours!!

    Ive had a 123 vintage about 2 years ago and after seeing the B&R stand at QP salon I much regretted selling it. I recently had the opportunity to take this 03-94 in trade, and I thought "Il do it"!

    I'm not really site what to make of this lump of watch. It's very very clear, but it's the biggest thing I've ever had strappe to my wrist I'm sure.

    I think I like it!









    This is the "small" 42mm version. It came with 5 brand new OEM straps and was brand new in November 11 sp its pretty good condition wise. Keeping to about +4 a day at the moment.


    Any other B&R fans or does out there?

    I like that alot.... the tan strap is very cool.. I also like the Bell and Ross "aerospace" known as the Type Aviation (or Br03 - 88) - another cool quartz watch I would be happy to own.

    Sounds like you picked up a nice set...

    It's tiring my fingers when I could be using them more productively, and it's thoughtless. C'mon, join the ranks or pre-tier TZ-UK posters, and learn your BBCode.

    I'm Afraid I'm not really sure why your posting here. Do you have a bell and Ross? ;-)

    Why not start a thread about BBC code?

    I really like those type marines. :love4:

    My local AD has some great discounts on a few B&R models. Although I don't know the range well enough to remember which ones.

    I really like the BR123 - the only minor gripe I have is I think, for what it is, it's just a tad overpriced. For that reason i've hesitated on getting one myself and put the cash towards something else.

    New in... the WW2 Regulator Heritage. 49mm, regulator watch (The minute hand is separated from the hours / seconds) Dubois-Dépraz secondary movement - Stainless steel, with grey / brown pencil lead PVD effect. I can see many people hating this watch, but for me it is a lovely design and a real pleasure to read the time in a non conventional way... Also great to see B&R utilising new movements which they have been doing this year in a number of their watches.

    As you can imagine, totally different from any other of my watches and being honest if I wanted something normal I'd go Rolex, Omega etc!









    Time is 7:18 in the morning



    49mm, on my 6.,5 inch wrist - doesn't look that big does it?







    I guess most people will hate this!

    i LOVE it. If i see one used [beaten up would look even better to my eyes]... i'll have one!

    I quite like it...

    Nice to see something different (even if it is upside down). How's the "tropical dial" effect...?

    Not at all, I really like that, especially the case finish.

    My only gripe is the crown, but other than that a pretty cool watch.

    I also like the WW2, well done!

    I tried it on at Selfridges (London) on a number of occasions till my girlfriend said that it was just too big on my 6.5ish wrist. I think it looks great on you though

    Thanks chaps... I agree in that the crown COULD be placed in the regular position the watch is comfortable enough to wear it like that... If I had a gripe that would be mine also.

    The dial is lovely, tropical yes; small speckles give it a lovely finish... yes it's 'faux' vintage but it really brings out the personality of the watch.

    For me, Bell&Ross produce interesting designs, use great materials like carbon fiber and are now using different movements in their watches. Of course they don't appeal to everyone, but to me that's the attraction. I suspect this model may appear in smaller variation at some point, but it's really not that big in honesty!

    Sorry Piers, I should have said, I find the leftie crown fine, it's just I'm not a fan of the onion design and I find it a little too big in this case also.

    The new Mono Pusher - also pictured here with the WW2 is stunning! (Also pictured is an original Bomb timer)
