I never get bored of wearing and staring at the square faces of my B&Rs

Looks mighty fine -- congratulations!

I'm eyeballing black watches, and my top 2 choices are this, or the Tag Heuer Aquaracer Night Diver.

Absolutely. The ceramic has this feel that's really different from metal, it's a pleasure to put it on every time.

Nice watch! Is the lume still legible in the middle of the night?

I think so. I can see that it’s still glowing when I walk by it, and my impression is that it stays legible longer than most of my watches, but I haven’t specifically tried to read the time on it far into the night.

I like the look of that Tag Heuer, however I don't know why they made the hands lumed - how will they stand out against the fully lumed dial in the dark?

My wife bought me one of these yesterday for our 20th anniversary! Question though, is it supposed to use a screwed strap bar, or spring bar?

 

[DSS]

Congratulations! You must be psyched. It uses spring bars.
Let’s see a pic!

Yeah, the AD was confused, and I figured due to the ceramic it would be spring bars not screws, but then I saw the tools in the box. Amazing watch though, and I've been a fan for 20 years now, so it's not a knee-jerk purchase, haha.

Awesome. It’s such a great watch. And congratulations on your anniversary as well!

It really is, I'm so impressed! It wears way bigger than 42mm x 10.x height suggest, but it fits perfect on me. The utter matte-ness of it is awesome, the olive dial is gorgeous with the C3 offwhite lume and black accents, lume is fantastic, the strap is great, etc. So cool.

After falling in lust with a BR03-92 after seeing it on someone's wrist in 2010, and collecting a bunch of square watches that fit my pay grade at the time, I finally bought a B&R. I wasn't planning on it, but I was on a road trip and saw this Diver Military in the window of a great watch store in Carmel, CA, and that was it--no hesitation, this thing is beautiful. 11 years from then to now, and I never stopped being totally into these watches, so this is really a milestone watch.

Thats a great watch...
Whats your wrist size?

 

[DSS]

@Delis, my wrist is 7.5", with fluctuation of about a quarter inch up or down depending on temperature, activity, etc. This is definitely a substantial watch—I like the feel of that. Here’s another pic, this time on the nylon strap it also comes with. I think it looks a bit bigger in the photo than it actually wears.

Congrats! Always a wonderful feeling when you pickup that piece that you have to have and it brings back a great memory or sense of accomplishment!

I really like this. Great color way.

Love the look of the watch! I have several older round B&Rs that are in rotation. I have a question though - how comfortable is the square watch? I’m tempted, but worried it wouldn’t be comfortable for all day wear,

Thanks

 

[DSS]

I find the square B&R as comfortable as any other watch. In addition, the ceramic body has a silky feel that's a little different from a straight up metal watch, and really a pleasure to wear. However, I like big watches with heft, so you might feel differently depending on your preferences.
