I just got some wrist time with the PVD black BR02 Professional.. the watch is amazing and the pictures dont even come close to doing that watch justice... Got try on the Panerai right afterwards and do some other comparisons, no contest. My next watch is the BR02. Met a recent purchaser of the watch in the store as well and he was very pleased. Retail price for the pro dial PVD was $4500 while the SS was $4000. The rose gold version was also immaculate.

Do you live in the US? I have not seen one here yet, did you happen to catch the price difference between pro diver and regular dial? Pro dial is the way to go IMO.

The new BR03 94 Black and White is very cool as well.
There is no price difference for the pro face.. however the PVD is a $500 option. I live in Monterey so we have to authorized dealers in the town Chatel and Lussori. Both have online stores. You can inquire Hughues at Chatel if your interested in one.
very smart watch!!! I'm really digging pvd coating right now. Is there a bracelet for it? ( I ask and THEN I check on google... go figure!)

edit: back from having checked out their website: no bracelet but a pretty cool nylon strap.
I do wish they offered a bracelet, pro dial for sure.

Aqua - did you check out the BR3 94 Black and White on B&R website?
let me tell you.. I had the same reserve on the lack of a bracelet.. however, after trying the watch on I can tell you my opinion changed because the ergonomics of the case and strap are amazing.. most comfortable watch I have ever tried on and it just felt like part of my arm. I also really enjoyed the feel of the rubber strap which was far from cheap looking.. it felt very robust. Maybe bell and Ross will come out with a strap later on for the watch as they seem to be into accesories.

When I was in the store I also saw new BR01 variants... there is a new chronograph type that has contrasting silver dials and orange hands on one side....I also saw the military variant that appeared on a Nato style strap in army green.. and a white ceramic face with diamond bezel for women.

The rubber strap on the instrument series has great quality, but sucks on the wrist. I believe this is because the strap does not meet up with the case flush to help project it out, not very ergonomic. I am sure I am not alone on this. It is however very comfortable on a calf strap. It looks like from the pictures they have addressed this issue on the new BR02 series. Similar to the rubber strap on the Omega PO in that it meets flush with the case.
Got one last week after a long wait. Can't wear it 'till Christmas 'cos it's all wrapped up now. I'll post some pics and maybe a review as soon as. There is no bracelet available as far as I know but there is a fabric band similar to the BR01/3.

Only 2 days to go now ...

I tried one on today and I have to say that it is quite stunning in person. It is a very hefty watch too.

Hmm. Have I been good enough to get one from Santa? ...
The BR02 is very high on my list of wants. I'm really anxious to see some more real pics of the watch.
I was at my local AD, and he pulled out the Arabic PVD version which I fell in love with. My more than tolerant wife also liked it very much. It is on my short list, and now I have to sell something so my wife would consider buying it for me! I thought it fit quite well with the rubber strap but want to see how it feels on the nylon strap.
Its on the "bay", cool dive box too!

Well I got mine on my wrist right now. Big, bold, very comfortable and I don't want to take it off.

Wear it in good health :-!

Now I'm going to have to go back and get mine tomorrow ...
so which dial do you think is nicer? the one with the numerals or the one with the satellite dial?

I'm a big fan of the BR01/BR03 dial (my favourite dial) but somehow on this diver, I'm tipping towards the one with the satellite dial....:think:
couldn't agree with you more koji...the clean version of the pro dial w/o the numeals does it for me the most. I'm dying to see some wrist shots to make a decision to pull the trigger, but maybe my 7 inch wrist is too small to hold such a bold statement like the BR-02 makes, other than that its deffinatly on my short list to get...
The pro dial looks cleaner for sure.. besides if you already have an BR01, the pro dial is the perfect compliment... I got some funds for the watch for christmas, so im gonna put the purchase in motion. PVD proface.
