BR 03-92 SS with leather, 2836 movement

Hi All:

 

I just received my first rep, I ordered from TD MR: BR 03-92 SS with leather, 2836 movement.

 

Initial impressions:

· Nice quality, appears to be good build quality and nice weight.

· Size, a bit larger than I thought, this is probably my largest watch now in my small collection but I like it.

· Couple of cons comparing to gen: incorrect 03-97 on back; buckle BR01 incorrect? I would think should be just BR or BR03, is that right? Both of these not a huge deal breakers.

· The dial numbers are a bit ‘flat’ but not as bad as I thought would be. They look crisp and easy to read. Haven’t tired lum but I’m sure wont be that good – but that doesn’t really matter to me.

· Leather band is comfortable, glad went with leather vs. rubber, been reading rubber ones can ‘break’.

· Watch was packaged well and arrived exactly one week after shipping.

 

Overall I am happy with the purchase. The reason I bought this watch was to get a ‘feel’ for the watch and then get the gen if really like it but now not sure if need/want the gen. This one is nice enough don’t you think?

 

Attached are few pictures sorry for quality or overkill. Any opinions?

 

Also, should I tighten the front screws or no need to? Not sure what screwdriver to use, don’t want to scratch it. Hi All:

Very nice ...

 

Wear it in good health.....Check and tighten all screws where Nec..good idea is to invest in some tools from our shop..http://shop.homage-watches-guide.com/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=4

Nice selection of pics!

 

Have thought about this watch quite a few times. Have loved it then hated it then loved it again.

Have managed to hold off so far!

 

The BR01 buckle would annoy me though.

Mario, beautiful watch. Is it just me, or does this watch have colourless AR? Seems better than the normal blue /purple you tend to see on reps of the b&rs

Yeah I do not see much color reflection...maybe a small tint of blue but its seems to me thats the sky reflection when I move in front of my PC (screen light) I dont see any color.

Great choice

 

The screws on the front should be a weird 3.5mm size - if you use a smaller one you can chew the screw slots up.

 

Did you get strap bar tools too, so you can ensure the hex screws stay tight?

Yes got hex but can't find right driver for front ones. Anyone know?
