WOAH>> awesome! The french airforce digital is slick! What I reall like is with the grand complications.. providing you were collecting these and not wearing it out, the lugs can be removed and it turns into a desk clock.

This one is the winner of the bunch. I would love to see the external rotating bezel on the BR03 model in some way. Think of all the possible variations!

I would like to see them unvail a SS as an option, the rubber strap is very difficult to break in IMO. My custom strap rules, the nylon strap is solid as well. SS would be the topper......

It does strike me as odd that a company like B&R is making every kind of complication before introducing even a basic metal bracelet. Its too bad they dont, because if they matched the watches they would be some of the biggest, chunkiest around. Welder made adequate bracelets on their B&R homages, why cant B&R come up with something? At this rate, we will see a moonphase B&R before a bracelet, ha ha.

I think this is a valid point.. as far as aviator watches go, I cant see myself every wearing my BR01 on a bracelt of any type.. However a highly styled rubberized or PVD bracelet for the BR02 would a great addition...Their velcro strap sets a new standard for me... Im hoping they are just taking their time with a bracelet and not rushing its release

Very nice but I think it would be far too large for me - not to mention that it's probably going to cost a huge chunk of money.

Just recieved the fabric strap for my 02 (many thanks to Wave in Kendal - funny how it arrived a couple of weeks after posting on here that I was still waiting for it - I wonder if someone at B&R is reading this :think:)
The rubber strap took no breaking in at all because it is moulded to the curve of the wrist - comfortable from the word go. My problem is that the standard length is fractionally too short and although comfortable I would not be able to wear it over a wet suit.

Love the chrono - saving up for one in gold :-d:-d:-d

On the BRO2 only....The BR01 and BR03 the strap does not butt up against the case, so it comes straight down and the rubber is NOT molded to fit wrist. It is a straight as straight gets even on the BRO2, difference is it touches the case which helps project it over the wrist so to speak. And it is very durable rubber and does not break in well at all. My calf strap rocks and is very comfortable, this is their only down side IMO. They can do better on the function of the rubber strap........IMO.
