Good and Bad: Here's my BR03-94 PVD and opinions...
The Good News: Love the design of the watch. The PVD has held up to snorkeling and every day use.
The BR03 is 42mm and on my small wrist actually feels great on the rubber strap (2nd hole). The velcro is way too long for small wrist.
Here is a post snorkeling in Ko 'Olina, island of Oahu, Hawaii.
Pouring rain in the North Shore.
The Bad News: There have been some QC problems. I bought it brand new from my AD in Gendale, California back in June 2007. The first had to be replaced as the chrono would get stuck and not work, I had it less than 24 hours. Then the replacement had lint on the inside of the glass. The third time around the watch ran 3-5 minutes fast every 3 weeks. It went back in November under warranty and is now running very accurately.
The design of the watch to me is fantastic and my AD was great handling the warranty as always. But it is always a pain in the ass to keep going to the dealer and waiting for 3 months for a fix. If you check the B&R website they have a forum and a couple of people posted some of the same problems as mine. Other companies like Breitling/Panerai/Omega sends the watch back in a protective case. I got mine back in a plastic zip lock. It wasn't cleaned at all. Things like this really bother me. If they want to stand out against their competitors, they need to step up their game. Hope this helps with your decision and please post on what you decide to do. PM me if you have other questions. Regards, MW
What do you all think of Bell and Ross??
Dont really know much about the brand but saw a couple of their pieces which interest me. Do you all think that B&R could be the next big thing like Panerai was a few years ago? could anyone share their light in terms of history and experience with the ac...
Quite attractive but...
their movements are not as much fun as their cases. Sinn (original b&r manufacturer) seems to me far more echte.
i love my phantom and it gets a lot of wrist time. too much really for
a watch thats ltd edition and going for more than retail. i should be locking it away until the price goes up more, but it belongs on a wrist, preferably mine. its not the best timekeeper i own, but i do use a laptop regularly which can affect timekeeping...

Thanks Jacky, my photo skills are not as good as yours...
But I'm working on it. I been hanging with AnthonyT, DrNo, and ThomasM trying to get pointers. Those guys get some amazing shots in impossible situations. Jacky, I hope that you are doing well as things over here are great! Let me know when if you ever st...

Hi SXW, good day. I'll let the photos do some talking first And the inexpensive Tourbillon instrumento! Did i said 'inexpensive'? I must slap myself for that ! LOL....... Carbon body with Ti and DLC coat. Warning colors.... IT is not just about colors, i ...
Tempting Photos!
Jacky, I shouldn't have opened your post. After seeing those, I am tempted with getting an orange leather strap to match mine...sigh.. also agree it is a brand pointing towards its own direction because it has its own concept , design and style. It is eit...
I can understand the fascination and interest in them .....
but having tried them on , square watches are certainly not my cup of tea and think they look better as table clocks really . The most fashionable and signature pieces are the square ones unfortuantely which looks terrible on small wrists . Just my person...
Sguare and Hip
Personally, I like it for the shape first. Have all kind of shapes in my collection but it is darn hard to find a square one that has the x factor to make me reach and grab it. Secondly I like the look which is quite unique and draws my eyes to it even wh...
Really enjoying my BR03 Military
Very happy with mine. The fit and finish is much nicer than I expected when I first viewed the models. It is keeping -30s after 26 days of ownership....
