BR01 vs BR03

 

It is quite obvious that the BR03 is an easier case to be worn on a daily basis. But for me the BR01 is the original one and the big size is a part of the design. So if you have the opportunity to switch, don't hesitate if the size is not a problem for you.

Thanks for your comments!

Baselworld 2012: Bell&Ross Report

 
By: foversta : March 17th, 2012-15:35
The 2012 edition of Baselworld was very active for Bell & Ross, so active that the fuses had just been blown when I visited the booth. Hopefully, we could find a place with lights in order to be able to shoot pics of this new collection. We can split it i...  

Thanks FX

BR01 is the purist's Bell&Ross if you wanna call it I guess we've heard this countless times....once you are bitten by the size and weight, cant get back to smaller ones...or, very difficult. Imagine 33mm or 34mm....only P.Dufour and very few watches ...  

Thanks Playtime !

Yes, the Regulator is the key piece of the 2012 collection. The addition of the black bezel works pretty well on the Vintage. Thanks for your comments! Fx

I love the Regulator. For me. Seriously.

I have been looking for an excuse to buy a B&R - a secret craving for a huge tool watch. I may have found it. Thanks for the report. Ginger

Thanks Ginger.

You will surprise by its comfort on the wrist, much better than expected! Fx

Nice looking new lineup

I especially like the pocket watch. Thanks for posting, Fx.

Thanks Davo !

Yes, the pocket watch is a nice addition in the collection but it is dedicated to the hardcore fans of the brand I believe. Fx

Thanks for the report....

Hi Xavier, good day. Thanks for the extensive report. Great offering by B&R this year. I like that WW1 PocketWatch. Argentium... Bomber will be hot... Regards

Thank you so much for that great report ....

I have to admit that I ceased to be a B&R fan when they started to strap those aircraft instruments to the wrist. However, I have to admit that they have found an individual style there, and the new watches, copying altimeter, artificial horizon etc. ... 

thanks FX

some interesting pieces there, especially the silver cased WWII pieces. a good reminder of my WWI trench watches. and that regulateur is just superb. a bit big, but the dial is perfect. thanks again Graham

B and R are 'getting closer'

to some pretty good designs. You can tell that they are taking design very seriously with the new collection. My favorite is not here. But I see a transformational improvement this year. I can imagine B and R becoming a 'darling' brand in a few years if t...
