I was on the fence with this one but after seeing some more pics.. she's a beaut! Love the bowl like case. Just went to my want list.

I agree! I see some new reps coming out and when I check the Gen prices they are 1K-2.5K. Tags are pretty common and really nothing special. Why bother?

Ohhh.. Brazil. Go to "HELP" discotech in Rio... a plethora of beauties.

I think it's a matter of getting it right within reason. We know the movement may not be the same quality but how close can we get and keep the cost the same? How much will it cost to add AR and are we willing to pay for it? Most would pay if it was kept within reason so we would like to have that option because we want to see the face w/o having to turn it different ways to get rid of the reflection. Do correct length hands cost more than incorrect hands? No. Does it cost more to spell a word correctly? Absolutely not. I don't think it's unreasonable to want fewer minor imperfections when it really doesn't require much cost or effort on the part of the people producing the watches.

I could be wrong but I don't believe any rep is lumed like the originals.

Typically don't go for quartz but if it's boxed up in this thing I might change my mind. I don't care if it ticks or sweeps.. it's mine and really don't care anybody thinks it's fake. Anybody willing to pay $10K for watch has more money than brains anyway. Andrew... get it ready to ship!!!

OK... here's one for the non haters. I don't know if larger watches are a trend like bell bottoms or if they are here to stay but I can't wear anything less than 40mm because it feels and looks like a girls watch to me now. The B&R 46 will gain favor I predict with time. The neocons will continue to hate and those who like something cool and different will eat them up. This is a hot watch for any size wrist.

For all you haters!!! As promised.. here's a wrist shot on my pencil thin wrist and somewhat large hands. As you can see... nice fit and looks great don't you agree??

Hand crank the date? That's crazy! Give me a damn pusher..

Awesome design Turk... thanks for the discount PT.. 15% is more than a lot of doing work on speculation pays out.

Along the same thread.. I'm curious about the manufacturers that are producing these incredible reps. They must have very sophisticated equipment and experience to make these so who the hell are these people and why don't they just design their own brands and sell them to the world? Not that I want them to stop supplying me w/ great reps but I just wonder if they are in some basement full of million dollar manufacturing machines spitting out panny's and rolex's? What's the scoop?

I felt the same way. With so many Panny's why get anything else? I just got a pre-ultimate 45 PO and love it and then the B&R. The only dilemma is making more money or reducing expenses so you can get more watches... nothing else matters. Repeat after me.. nothing else matters.. nothing else matters.

Before Xmas? That's 18 days Andrew! Can we pay with IOU's?? If we want one under our solstice trees you better hurry them up.. 2 weeks shipping.. that leaves 4 days to release them?

Consider me in for a group buy! Nice!!!!!!!

Speaking of removing the straps... did anybody get a tool w/ their watch? I didn't.

TVT is just having some fun.. it makes the thread more interesting when people with strong opinions express them.. no right or wrong when it comes to taste. Beauty is in the eye of the blah blah blah and all that. Don't count this watch out JD.. I need to measure my wrist but I think it's pretty skinny and the clock looks fine although I have big hands to counter my pencil wrist. I'll take some pics tonight and share them with you so you can judge. I'm liking the 46 PVD Chrono too and the orange is interesting. How do you change the battery in the Quartz movement on this thing? Need to break open my piggy bank now.

Haters!!! I just picked mine up from the PO and wearing it proudly at this moment. My first reaction after putting it on was.. jeeeezz! The lugs are just inside the edge of my wrist so the fit is decent. The strap is pretty good quality but I'm wondering how it would look w/ a 24/24 Bob or pilot w/ double screw rivets. I'm pretty sure I saw these were supposed to have AR... mine missed that process it appears because I can see myself in the glass well enough to shave. I have to say that I love it though.. not something I'd wear w/ a suit and tie but it's a great casual watch and unlike anything out there so A++ for being unique. It's not for everybody... those who lean towards the classic bourgeois rolex subs will hate this masterpiece. Good! Please do not buy one!! Only cool people need apply.

Ahh.. such jealousy rearing it's ugly head. You wish you had a big ass cookie sheet to wear.. admit it!

Mine will be delivered today! I think it looks great but would like to see it on someone not wearing a sweater.. that's a sweater, right?

Anybody have advice on purchasing a "good quality" watchmakers tool kit to do light work like adjusting bracelets and the like for noobs that want to diy?

#2 with sights set on #4 status but no time to put in. I'm one of those people that's wants to do everything.. make my own straps.. build my own watches, start 3 new businesses and then fails to do any of it. Need to focus morgan.

Simple, clean and easy to read. Looks great against a black background and in different colors. Looks good big and small so ok for biz card, letterhead and watermark. Notice the second design is a rehash of existing logo.. or writing I should say. Edwardian script is a great font.. just needed to be stroked a bit and stacked w/ a graphic!!

Gotta love this JLC! I've searched for a nice rep of this to no avail. Wish it was a few mm larger though. Can you list all the popular models that have the intended movements and we can choose from there? Noobs like me are clueless what drives every watch out there but we know what looks good.

I checked out a thread in the expert area and I see to clean or not to clean has been hashed out ad nauseam. I saw pics that The Zigmeister had of 7750 gears and such w/ gunk and it looked pretty scary. Lots of disagreement here and I guess everybody has an opinion. I think that if I had an extra $250 in my pocket for service I'd add it to another $250 for the watch and get a real ETA model ?

So do the 7750's need to be serviced when we get them or not? I'm still unclear on that point. I'll say this.. if I'm going to be spending $175 everytime they crack open the caseback... I'm going to spend that money on tools and videos so I can do it myself. How difficult is it?
