Favorite Bell and Ross?

The bronze diver was one of the hottest piece last year from B&R. I think it would be a great choice!

For me this year, it would be the BRV2-94 Bellytanker bronze!

Mine is their old "Classic B"; back when Sinn was making their Valjoux/ETA 7750/60 based chronographs for B&R. Once they deep sixed Sinn and began using modular chrono movements, they lost their appeal to me.

Fave B&R? ALL OF THEM!!!

My only non-round watch, rectangular ... is a JLC Tribute Duoface 2016. My collection is full of Rolex, Omega, Nomos, B&R, Heuer, Hamilton, Seiko, etc..... My thinking is that long after I’m gone (I’m 66)... Bell & Ross will slowly go to a slimmer, outer square/octagonal shape. I have NEVER seen a square B&R in the real world, .... maybe one show model? Seiko/Citizen can easily toll-up to a better design than a square gauge-like watch. My father was an aeronautical engineer (SR71), he would have disliked that BR01.... there’s a <0.1% chance he’d even look at the BR03 & the BR05. He would have gone Grand Seiko or Rolex before a B&R.

I've got the opportunity to pick-up a B&R Hydromax w/White Face. Does anyone have knowledge regarding this oil-filled quartz diver watch? It's $1700 and might be in need of service. I heard that battery replacement with oil and gasket replacement is about $500. Not sure if that is true but it seems high for an every two-year expense. I realize that they clean and polish etc. This should be or become a desirable vintage piece but not sure that I can wait another 20 years. I appreciate any input. Thanks

Mine is the BR03-92. Ive had the 94 and the have seen far to many brake with the Chrono function.

I really like the phantom. I particularly like how well the metal color matches many of my guns. Great tactical watch.

This has to be mine. I've decided my next one will be a bronze diver. I am a huge patina aged guy and found this on Instagram. Unreal. Love it. View attachment 14046683

I personally like the 03 92 phantom one of my favorite watches of all time.

03 with Carbon! Although the bronze diver is a close second for me.

Don't have one yet but I was loving the blue dial BR05 watch. Saw one in person and made me wish I had bought that before I bought my Tudor Black Bay 36mm. The BR05 is simple, clear to read, and the blue is amazing and rich in colour in the dial
