Doesn't bother me
Bell & Ross has always been associated with some type of aviation so their pics didn't even remind me of Panerai. Plus this Bell & Ross styling is very similar to their past Vintage 123 line, so I already associated this look and design with B&R.
One thing though, many brands have taken inspiration from Panerai's straps and buckles which I guess is a compliment to Panerai.
Cheers,
Anthony

Arrgh, the date....
...kind of spoils the dial for me. Also, no knock on B&R, but does anyone else think that if Jocke had taken that first photo (leather helmet, gloves, watch) it would have been jaw-dropping? Tom
I actually like them..
I think B&R got too far away from their instrumentation-based designs and into fashion..these are more of a return to their watch origins...(hence the vintage..)
