I agree. If you like it you like it. But 1) a luxury watch is a status symbol. So its not like sticking up for yourself liking disney movies or something. Nobody cares. But you're judged on your watch so its a little different.

I guess I'm lucky in that I live somewhere that doesn't apply so much, work in an industry where it matters very little indeed, socialise with people who have depth of character, and even if there was one, no "judg-or" could possibly do me harm because I chose a B&R over a $30k AP or $80k Patek. But I'm aware that plenty of people do have to put up with that sort of vapid hell, to which I am sympathetic.

Had this for a little over a week and loving it. Super comfortable and sits nice and flat on my 7.5" wrist.

Looks awesome. I like this silver dial, but it blends nicely with the case. Enjoy it!

When I first saw them I didn't like them, but now these are really growing on me. My order of preference would be: Skeleton, black dial because you have the minute indices, silver, then blue.

I guess only one way to find out is to try it on in person.

Any good ADs in the SF Bay area you can recommend?

It looks surprisingly good! I have to say

Def one of my list to buy but not at full retail... hoping i can pick up a 2nd hand for low 2k..haha

Looks better on the wrist than on its own

It's a common request/assumption, but it will never happen unless the watch is trashed with no box or papers. Used it's $3k plus, which is not a lot under the shtreet price of $4k. The B&R dealer near me doesn't keep them in stock more than a few days, although in this Internet social media era of Hunger Games fights in the parking lot over options to look at a Rolex AP PP in 10 years' time I guess that counts as an epic fail

I had the opportunity to try on a BR-05 in blue during my recent trip to Stockholm and I was really quite impressed. I was worried that it would overwhelm my wrist but it was comfortable and proportional on my 6.5" wrist. I would definitely consider picking one up, but probably on the secondary market as at retail, it's pushing up into Grand Seiko diver territory and $4k is a bit dear for a Selitta movement.

very nice I hope to pick up my first B&R someday

Apparently they are selling well.... the shop I went to had already sold a grey dial and blue dial watch and only had this one left....

Tempting....

Bell & Ross are trying to get back into popularity and I hope they succeed as i have always liked the brand

My wife and I looked at the model and really liked it. I have several higher-end watches (Rolex, JLC, Panerai, etc.) but this specific Bell & Ross is the one that struck the eye of my wife. Either for me as another watch or for her. In short, they nailed it and the "expert" hate toward the offering makes little sense to me. I think for me I would like a classic square B&R that I can swap a lot of straps and have some fun with one of those. But my wife wants this one for her, in black.

How does it feel on the wrist? Case size?

I saw these back when the AD was still open and I dig them. I just wish they made one without the date and maybe in some different colors.
