Ultima

Ordered mine from Andrew at Trusty on saturday and it was already delivered to France today ! 4 days, that is a great service. Andrew even gave me a spare strap. Watch looks great, I will take time to check it and take pics.

From what I seen / read everywhere on the web, yes I would say it is the "Flightdeck Cab O"... Mine has just left China according to the EMS website

Thanks Shundi ;-) I'm sure I'm gonna love this one ! My favorite watches are my 3 Bell & Ross BR01, but I know find them a little bit on the small side :-)

Done ! I'll post pics when I receive it.

Thanks for all the informations ! I 'm sold ;-) I'm gonna take the plunge with the orange one at Trusty...

Is there a reputable seller that has them with plain black dial instead of the carbon one ? Thanks for the info Wiseman, but the gen is between 1500 to 2000

Sorry for a stupid question, but on Trusty's site it says " Black Carbon Fibre Dial with White Numeral Markers" Is yours supposed to be white and happens to be silver or is it a different one ?

I did not realise it was silver and not white. Is it contrasted enough to read time ? I am hesitating between this one and the carbon / orange version...

Shundi, Is there one of those "relumer" in Europe ?

Hello oberblender, Thanks for the nice pics ! I am about to fall for this one ;-) The more I see it, the more I like it... Is there a Gen carbon dial like this one or is it a fantasy watch ? Are you still happy with it ?

Yes, the phantom would be a instant buy for me as well ! But I doubt we will see it... Anybody has insider info about that watch being rep ?

Sul, your watch looks great... But it has never been produced as a gen. (at least, it is not in the 2008 catalog)

You probably are right and it is anyway a matter of taste I am biased because I am only into "miltary" and "dive" watches, and anything below 44 mm looks tiny to me ! B&R rules ! they are the most original watches produced in a long time... They are still are my favorite.

Well, I am no Bell & Ross specialist but I have their 2008 (huge) catalog with me and there are no 39 mm instrument watch to be seen...

If you go for an instrument, you HAVE to buy a 01 / 46 mm and not a 03 / 42 mm. They are indeed intended to be huge... That is the whole purpose of those watch. I have both the blue and orange chrono, and I must say that at the begining I was not completly sold by the blue one... But it is now my favorite ! Orange and black mix nice but they are a bit "deja vue" ;-) Go for the 46 mm blue one, you won't regret it. It is a watch that catch a lot of attention, even from people that don't know "S....." about watch.

Thanks JohnG ! I was not aware of that. Will give them a try ;-)

I am sorry to ask such a stupid / newbe question, but wich of those dealer are located in europe ? So far, I have only bought from "abroad"... That would save a lot of stress and troubles ;-)

Hello, I am also very interested in that one ! The only let down is the gen is coming with a nice kaki nylon strap, wich gives it a typical military look... why does this one comes with a rubber one ??? I'm sorry to be a newbe, but who is located in europe and supposed to have this one for sale ? Thanks ;-)

Hello, I think it is fair to let you guys know that I finaly received my watch from Paul (Wo Mart) today ! It took about 9 weeks, but I must confess that it was worth the wait ;-) It is a BIG and beautifull B&R BR01 that is very well done. The best watch I have ever seen and own ;-) Paul even send me a SD card for the long delay. Thank you for your help and support, Dom

I know you are right, but not only my money has been collected a long time ago, but Paul first told me my watch was on it's way... And I can't believe he does not have the financial power to pay someone to simply send an email telling to his customers what's happening with their order ;-) I know it is being illegal but when you buy from his site it doesn't say that you gonna have no service at all but rather to expect a very good one !

Yes you are right ! the site says he is back. At least he is still alive ;-) That is just the poorest customer service ever...

Hum... I still don't have received any news from him. He didn't answer my emails even since he is supposed to be back. That realy start to XXXX me off :-( I bought my watche 6 weeks ago and he didn't send it yet...

Wo-Mart site is back and running... And yes, first page says Paul is out of town until april 18. We'll see what happens then ! Thanks for your encouragement ;-)

You're right Olivia, but I would even have run faster with that Bell & Ross on my wrist ;-) Not that I'll will miss the money, but i'll get frustrated not to have the watch...
