    Another new BR02 for the forum

    I put a post on the Dive forum but felt I should put it here too! Thanks everyone for the help in giving me information about this beauty which helped me pull the trigger.
    Well I traded in my Sinn with a fellow WUS and took the plunge for the super cool Bell & Ross BR02. I've always admired this watch from afar but never felt that I would own or buy a new one, due to their fairly hefty retail price, however I feel quite lucky to get this as part of a trade. After much anticipation it arrived today


    I'd never seen the pelican case package before and I was very impressed. Very tough and secure

    At first glance the watch confirmed to me what a cool looking product Bell & Ross had designed.



    The watch sit very well for its size on my 7 inch wrist. The rubber band is very supportive yet soft and flexible for comfort. The rubber on the crowns are a very cool touch. the dial looks great and in retrospect for 'perfection I think the pro dial might look better with the PVD case or the have the arabic numerals on the ss case....although I'm very satisfied with this dial case
    combo.
    Not too sure if it's going to be a long term keeper along with my Speedy but anyway here's the wrist shot!

    Watch list:

    Rolex Explorer II 216570, Omega Speedmaster Pro 3570.50
    , Seiko Orange Boss SKA291P1, Casio G-Shock M5600

    maybe this one will get you hooked and you will revist the BR01-03.

    Interesting point...I'm certainly looking more into the brand and particularly into their 'vintage' models...for something different

    How much did that one cost you? (if you dont mind me asking) I am looking for a nice rubber sport watch and I love that dial without the large numbers. Much better than the all black in my opinion.
