dluddy Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 One of the only B&R's I like.... Love that lume shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztech Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Excuse my ignorance, but is this a rep? If it is, I didn't even know they made a rep of this model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 That ain't no rep. I am with Don - probably my favorite B&R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TswissT Posted May 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Thanks guys... This one is super nice...I debated for a while over a Phantom 01-92, but with soooo many manual Panerai with no date. I needed one with more complications. The only real other B&R contender was the military edition...I eventually opted for this one. I think a wise decision. I like it soooo much more than the Breitling Aerospace; and I have never met anyone with one of these... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Hilts Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Picked mine up used on the 'bay for $2k even. Worn it almost every day since. Love it. Note: Did this flight jacket wristy for effect. Don't really wear it like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztech Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 That's what I figured. I didn't think they'd make a rep of this. I've owned 2 BR-01's in the past and they're indeed very nice watches. I miss mine. Enjoy yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss mine. Enjoy yours. There exists a cheap rep of this, havent seen it on josh/andrews sites though. Watcheden has it I believe. Biggest flaw; its got "pushers" on the case to control the digital functions (rather than crown-control as per gen). The kind of pushers you got to push a pencil or pin into. Astonishingly impractical!!! What a great watch the gen is. In fact, its one of the most practical watches I have seen. Love the "countdown" rather than "elapsed time" bezel - very practical, and strangely, rarely seen. If any of you gen owners would care to comment on the practicality of crown-control, well: Cheers from warm, merry and sunny Oslo MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
