    New Bell and Ross model - BR05

    I think this looks really good and it's something a little different and refreshing to see:

    I was looking at these yesterday and was thinking its a cross between a Nautilus and a Royal Oak.

    I do quite like though.
    Cheers,

    Yes it's definitely an amalgamation of ideas but I think it works on the bracelet.

    I saw this in Johannesburg airport yesterday
    It’s very small compared to their other offerings
    The dial looks tiny, comically small

    Really, that's interesting to know as you don't get that impression.

    Very Nautilus like. But did that bezel really need to be so wide.... No wonder the dial looks small in comparison to rest of the case.

    It's funny because as I look back at it, I am starting to see what you mean with regards the dial. I think I still like it though.

    I'd like it if not for the silver dial. Seems to retain a bit of the aircraft instrument schtick, with the square case and bolt-on bezel, but much more subtle. A sort of Bell & Ross for people who don't like Bell & Ross.

    Oh, I see there's a blue dial version. Rather nice I think.

    Rather like the gold although not the price:

    I am completely unimpressed.

    Perhaps because I find the Nautilus less than appealing and the RO downright ugly.

    I’ve seen one and didn’t think that. It will depend entirely on your taste and wrist size. Integrated bracelets watches tend to wear larger though, as the bracelet is part of the shape and should be visible, you need to see it as a whole.

    That's the beauty of this hobby. It's all a matter of taste, thankfully, and actually handling the watch.

    As above, it's a matter of personal taste but...
    it's like someone has taken all the things that annoy me about some watch models and combined them into something that is less attractive than the sum of all the unattractiveness. It only needs a cyclops to be perfectly horrible.
    I won't be buying.

    I'm really not a fan
    It's just a matter of time...

    Such a polarising design. Excellent!

    Definitely not for me but if it floats your boat, go for it.
    Push for a strong discount though.

    I can’t shake thinking of these after seeing the B&R

    It certainly didn't remind me of the Octo although I also like that design as well. I can see why it might though.

    I really like that. Love the rose gold version but at £27k I’ll pass!

    Agreed!!!! Ying/Yang. He's not the only one. Bark and Jack was only slightly more measured in his assessment.

    Haha yes I saw that but to be honest, I can't stand the channel. He really is a pretentious oaf but then I find them all unbearable for the most part with TGV at the very top!
