First gen B&R, very happy

Recommended Posts

Grimmi

I’d often thought about getting a gen Bell & Ross and having had (and have) a few reps that I love I thought I’d make good on the Boxing Day sales.

I’d been put off paying a few grand on a watch with such a basic and stock movement but in the end my “want” got the better of me :boxedin:

so I’m saying it’s a late Chanukah present to myself and I’m pretty stoked (my fiancée is too as she used this as an opportunity to go shopping at Gucci :cry:).

I compared it to my latest rep pick up (B&R Horograph) and it is noticeably better but you’d hope so for the price.

the rep horograph is still crazy close to the gen that I saw, so I’m pretty happy about that too.

that being said I think I can see a few more reps coming my way as the latest ones are pretty damn close!

Congrats mate, I came close to buying a Gen 123 Sport- Heritage but the low WR put me off (for a Diver) but they sure are nice.

Enjoy!

Yeah, the dive watch they have looks pretty great too in my opinion. I’ll probably get the rep and then if I still love it as much i’ll Consider a gen (but I don’t dive, I barely swim lol)

Thanks! Would love to see some pics. I was considering the horolum as well.
The rep looks great from what I’ve seen.

Very nice! I may have a look at 01’s but I think they’d look too big on my thin wrists lol.

and no, not in Canada, I’m in Australia

Yeah Boxing Day here too mate haha, and I too have 7” wrist. Haven’t bought any other straps yet, just the rubber and nylon ones it came with. Might have a look for a nice leather one or something soon but to be honest I’m a big fan of the nylon/canvas one.
