Congrats on the new addition. Not many around!

Thank you both Walt2810 and Sterling.gmbh. The owner purchased in back in 2006.

Ah, 2006. Back in the day, watchmakers were starting to curl out huge watches for metrosexuals but you could still buy a lot of old-school stuff. Many B&Rs were still based on no-nonsense Sinn watches, plenty of manufacturers still offered the Lemania 5100, people didn't buy limited-edition watches with the express purpose of putting them on eBay for double the money, there were no waitlists, baking of cookies or having to pleasure the AD to get a look at a steel watch...

Nice catch mate, I admire your patience.

Don't see many of those about.

Enjoy!

Congrats! That was one long wait. Glad and happy you finally have it!

That long of a wait is impressive indeed. Congrats on finally finding your panda. she is beautiful!!!

Awesome, glad your persistence paid off. It’s lovely. The differing sub dials are pretty cool. No other space 3 here to post, but hoping someone chimes in, I’d love to see more.

Thats great! Congrats!

I've been wanting this watch since 2010 when I saw it the 2 black sundials and 1 white one. I found out back then it was a Space 3 Chronograph Grand Prix. I always wanted panda dial. 1 owner and the 7750 keeps excellent time. Glad to add to my collection. Do anyone else have a Space 3 Grand Prix or any Space 3 as well?

For sure, the 10 yrs made the hunt even more exciting...such a lovely watch you have there, congrats!

Edit: Hope I'm still around 10 yrs from now to enjoy your post showing another nice catch of yours!

Tahnk you. So do I...So do I....

All of you on the B&R forum have been so welcoming...thanks for all of the kind words. This might sound like a crazy question but can someone give me a guesstimate on how many Space 3s like this you think are out there? A percentage of rarity? Just curious....
I wish to add its brother, the Belgian with limited to 500. I've seen some but going to pay more than I'm willing to spend.

Beautiful Panda FW, congrats on a successful find and for being patient! I personally have not seen to many of your Space 3 Grand Prix in the wild other than a few post a while back and unfortunately I don’t know how many were produced. However, the Belgian BELGP05 Grand Prix is actually limited to only 100 produced and that I have seen only once. I have always had a desire to add a Space 3 Titanium one day but too many distractions 👊🏽😊👍🏽

Nice B&R piece, and an unusual one. I rarely see these come up for sale. 10 years is a long time to wait for a watch, but will make you appreciate the acquisition that much more. Enjoy!

The rounded Bell & Ross is definitely better than the square cases....

That’s a beast! Congrats!

Congrats! That's quite the hunt. Clearly, a B&R you don't see everyday.
