Good stuff, lovely watch and a brand worthy of enthusiasm. Though I’d dispute the definite article of a B&R aesthetic. They do some cracking non-square watches too :)
Took me a while to get my head round the aesthetic and decide to get one, but this watch gives me great joy. That’s it, that’s the post.

I love the brand, unmistakably French and following their own path without apologising for it. This is my only one now, and it’s a wonderful watch. It always triggers delight when I wear it, which is best reason to own any watch.
Some other now gone, but very fondly remembered
123 Geneva
Demineur

I like B&R but always found the BR02 and Demineur more attractive than the square BR03.
I really like B&R, and despite having considered purchasing several over the years, I still only have the one, the heritage PVD 123 in what i like to term the "Caramac" colours.
I tried on a blue dial BR05 a few years ago and fell in love with it. Ended up getting a speedy which I've now sold, wish I'd stuck with the B&R

I'd wanted a Nightlum for ages but got tempted by this in the Jura sale
I never bonded and flipped it in short order.
Soon after a Nightlum came up on SC & I really like it.

Wanted - Damasko DA38 or DC82 Green - not the black versions.
I really wish I had bought that one you listed on SC- great price and looks great.
I had a BR03-92 , sold it a while back and will add another one back one day. The are great watches , found them really comfortable too.
I liked my B&R until I had to deal with their service centres. My hudromax came back with a scratched glass, sent back to be resolved and that took another 5 months!
Sent my BR01-44 Titanium off and the balance weightcame back making more noise than it went awat with. The response was 'they do that'.....
Would never touch them again!
Never owned a B&R in 30 years of watch collecting, then I found this and fell in love.
The ex display price was the clincher for me!

The other night a Bell and Ross Space chrono (the first one, a Sinn 142 branded for B&R) sold on Ebay for just under a grand. It needed a service, but that is a lot of watch for the money.
Anyone here get it?
I have this one and Andy’s heritage stainless steel BR03-92. Great watches and a bit like Panerai for strap choice.
