Got my BR 02!

Drove down to Portland today to pick up the BR02 that Watchworks ordered me! Driving down sucked because there was some kind of logging truck accident, so that caused major delays, but I finally got down there and got the 02! Really love it, first automatic watch, first quality timepiece :) I'll have pics tomorrow!

Congrats! Picked up a 02-94, yesterday, myself.

Here you go! I got the 02 from an AD, so I'm not questioning its authenticity or anything, but I've read on here and other sites that the Pelican cases typically have a Bell & Ross patch on them. You'll see in the 3rd pic that there is like an outline where a patch would go, but it's not there. Also, would anyone happen to know why the cardboard box is dated 09/20/07? Is my watch "new old stock" or something? The AD I got it from said they didn't have any in stock, so they had this watch overnighted from B&R in Florida, but when I got to the store, there happened to be the exact watch I wanted in the display case. Guess he didn't look hard enough? :/ Oh well, I'm very happy having a watch that no one has worn before :) Oh, and so other than the Peli case not having the patch and it not having a strap changing tool, does everything look to be in order and legit? Thanks!

Congrats on the new acquisition!!!
I just got the same watch about a month ago and I'm loving it!!! IMHO the nicest 02 out there!!!
If it makes you feel any better, my box has the exact same sticker on it. But..................my pelicase does say B&R on it

[rk967]

Damn, even though it doesn't really affect anything, I wish my pelicase had the B&R logo on it! Maybe Simon Cudd can send me one?!? lol

Do you get the blue reflection, like the AR coating reflection? I wonder where they got the case?

[rk967]

Yep, there is definitely a blue hue on the lens. Is that specific to a certain model year watch? The serial number ends with 048XX if that helps

Can't tell by the pics, are the numbers and markers raised? I would probably have it checked out. The screws don't look right to me.
