tony2x Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Hi everyone, I've been a lurker here for a little while and thought it was about time to introduce myself. I'm an ex-pat living in HK and this is something of a new obsession for me. I owned a gen Breitling Aerospace in Ti some years ago that unfortunately got stolen. I had not paid much attention to watches until a couple of years ago when I started seeing Bell & Ross watches advertised in Car magazine. The gens are way out of my price range and on a business trip to Shanghai a few years ago I managed to pick up a really bad BR01-94 rep that is still going strong even though the rubber strap fell apart about a month after I got home, I replaced the strap with a leather one from eBay and I've worn it as a beater for a good while now. Since finding this site I was able to get myself a fantastic BR01-94 rep Ltd edition in PVD & Blue from Mr Hont that I'll post pics of soon, it has a 7750 movement, fully operational chrono and the elusive screws for the removable lugs in the case back. It certainly cost more than my first rep but the quality seems deeply impressive. So thanks to everyone for the advice and information, I'm just figuring out what my next one will be!

tony2x Posted March 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Have you tried Tim Ho Wan's dumplings yet? Ken No, should I? I do like me some dumplings! Question - where is the right place for me to put up photos of my BR01-94? In this thread or should I start a new one in the 'other brands' area? I'm excited to share it with you as I think it is the nicest BR rep I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 I had no idea it actually had a star! And a 2 hour wait unfortunately. Ken Edit to add; But you can get a meal for 2 for around $18usd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Edit to add; But you can get a meal for 2 for around $18usd Good things come to those who wait. In San Francisco you wouldn't want to eat at a brunch spot at the weekend that didn't have at least a one hour wait! Thanks for the tip Ken, I'll be sure to report back once I've eaten there.
