Unknown movement, cheap B&R homage - should I?

I'm sure I've already posted this once one here but I'm still considering it but really am not sure I should be...

Should I go for it?

 

Worth the £40 or so??

 

I'm tempted as it does look nice in the pictures, even though I know it will have no lume, no AR, probably need to be serviced to run properly... lol

Is it 46mm? If so pass, it will be too big unless you have tree trunk arms.

The 42mm Instrument style watches are plenty big enough, other than that, I'd say go for it.

I have a 46mm B&R and much although I REALLY like the watch, it's far too big for me - it wears MUCH larger than a 47mm PAM.

 

Price seems about right - you can pick up a reasonable rep for around $90 (mine cost me about that).

 

Unless you have, as houndoggie says, tree trunk wrists, though, I'd wait for a 42mm BR03 or clone thereof..

Well at least it's only the size that you're concerned about lol

 

I'm hoping the movement wouldn't be junk but you just never know...

 

I've worn a rep of them before and I don't think it looks that silly on me, but it is certainly a big watch lol
