I recall the time about 5 years ago when I came home with a Bell & Ross BR01-92 Heritage on my wrist. I loved the novelty of something that looked more like an aircraft instrument than the classical, elegant watches with which I was accustomed to wearing....
I must admit, I like it. I agree with your conclusions on who this watch is a fit for as well. I enjoy the dial layout and case intricacies. Definitely thought provoking, which is good. Thanks for the photos and remarks.
I think I would be happy with it in any of the three metals. I've heard rumors that there will be some "simpler" models at friendlier price points coming out this year, and I look forward to seeing those as well. Bill
