Horological Meandering

Hi Cal....

 

It did take me sometime to settle with this. First i wasnt a very big fan for bigger size watch and as the classic sucker like me, i am sure many of my friends are surprise that i added this to my small collection.

It is purely a passion thing, i saw it last two years in the launching of BR01 here and didnt immediately like it until recently i thought i might wanna get a big watch to suit my everyday style and this watch does exactly what i want! And the fact that its much more affordable then Panerai 217, which i consider side by side with this BR01, helps in my decision as well. Overall, i prefer the look and feel of this one better. And i really love the pink gold and carbon combination, as much as i love the Offshore RubberClad in rose gold smile Too bad that price range is too high for me.

And i am very happy with this watch, feels good, looks good and damn clear! smile Thanks for looking.




Regards
Jacky

Hi guys...well i've been contemplating since before Basel and SIHH. Now that all show is over and watches uncovered, i recently settle with this one. It is my first huge watch. Also, must take this chance to say thanks to TM and all moderators,esp PeterCD...  

Woah

The front is distinctive enough but the case back is like nothing I've ever seen.

Congratulations Jacky!

Once u go big, u can't go back! I just love the "DO NOT UNSCREW" inscription on the caseback. It goes against man's instinctive behavior. Cheers, Anthony

Congrats on the watch, unfortunately...

I also picked up a Bell & Ross last friday from my AD here in los angeles. I was going to place an order for the new phantom since he had one more allocation but trying on a 46mm is way too big on my small wrist. My AD had just got in a BR-03 in PVD and I... 

Ohh dear...

Congratulations. Nice choice.

Recently took the dive. Being a big Panerai fan I had some hesitation. Not any more. I must say they really sit well on the wrist. I went with the full his hers deal. I Posted some pics earlier....  

Finally you got it Jacky!

After losing some sleep, you know this is YOUR watch. I too was looking at this BR but at 46mm it's too big. I'd probably go for the 42mm version in PVD : ) Cogratulations!

Congrats Jacky!

I'm trying to get a look at some of these myself and would very much appreciate some more wrist shots and any comments on what you thought of the BR03 for size..?? Wear in good health. Yours, Andy.
