houndoggie 58 Posted May 5, 2010 So this is my first rep I've ordered "new" from a dealer (sead) in over 6 months. I had a nearly identical version that I sold a long time ago. So here it is, the "ultimate" BR02 rep with an asian ETA. Everything about this rep is very well done. I have no complaints about it. (okay.. maybe the strap could be longer.) Luckily, I found a great deal on WUS for a XL gen rubber strap and a Gen XL nylon strap for $95 for both. Here is the gen (not mine) for comparison: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bene3 0 Posted May 5, 2010 Cool watch. I always liked the look of this one. I might order a cheap one from Lawrence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted May 5, 2010 This is the ultimate one, isn't it? The one that's near perfectly accurate to gen? I am tempted by these... I think lume triangle at 12 is a bit smaller on the gen and the lume should be blue, but everything else is pretty much spot on - and no sunken DW! Nice pick up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think lume triangle at 12 is a bit smaller on the gen and the lume should be blue, but everything else is pretty much spot on - and no sunken DW! Nice pick up the gen is not straight up blue.. It tends to more greenish than blue. I agree, the triangle is the weakest link. Go for it.. It is one of the best built reps I've ever owned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllergyDoc 40 Posted May 5, 2010 That is the only B&R I like. I had one of the square ones and it blew. How much? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted May 5, 2010 That is the only B&R I like. I had one of the square ones and it blew. How much? Agreed, this one is great. But.. what for is second crown? Date change? And yes, how much? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllergyDoc 40 Posted May 5, 2010 Apparently the extra crown has to be unscrewed to turn the bezel, according to the B&R site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted May 5, 2010 The 02 is a great watch. I really must replace the one I had that got damaged recently.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted May 5, 2010 Apparently the extra crown has to be unscrewed to turn the bezel, according to the B&R site. Yeah, as I understand it the second crown turns the numbered bezel/rehaut so you can use it as a proper dive watch. I had forgotten about this model - damn you, now I have to add it to the list!! It does seem to be one of the forgotten super-reps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GC 4,461 Posted May 5, 2010 Honestly, when I first saw the 02 I wasn't impressed...now I really like it! I agree with everyone, it looks spot on to the gen. Enjoy it! This will be added to "THE LIST"! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
