jerms81 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 I am looking for a Rep Bell & Ross BR03-92 Phantom- 42mm. I have looked everywhere and can not find a good one. Anyone have any idea or information where I can get one. The ones I have found Were PVD bit the Numbers on the dial were grey not dark enought to pull off the look of the real phantom. Thanks.

Jkay Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Hello and welcome to RWG ~ you will find that replicas are seldom exact matches for a real example. You need to buy the "best one you can find" and have an expert replica modifier do some paint or tool work on it to make it better. That's how it's done.

So if I purchased one with white numbers and hands who would be the best person to modify it and make it black numbers and lume? thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 So if I purchased one with white numbers and hands who would be the best person to modify it and make it black numbers and lume? thanks in advance That would depend upon your location in the world. There are qualified people in the EU, Canada, and the US .. I'm sure there are others I'm not aware of. There is a high quality black lume made and I'm sure it's just what you are looking for. Kent Parks, Vacuum, and Zigmeister are all in North America. Domenico and others are high quality modders in the EU. Funny thing is, I think I was looking at a photo of a black-lumed watch just today .. Look Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esco Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 (edited) There is a problem with purchasing the white numbered version though, the modder or lume-applier will need to lume ALL white markings, otherwise you won't get that stealth look. As mentioned above, this one just isn't properly repped yet. The ones that are offered at the dealers are "light" grey, not nearly dark enough to get the look we want.

wheaton26 Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 i recently bought a 45mm tw steel with black lume (also available in 50mm). it has a u-boat look and feel to it and is the stealthiest watch i've ever seen. in fact, it's a little hard to tell the time. lol. but the best part is, you can buy this gen for the price of a rep! i purchased mine from the certified watch store which has the lowest price online. it took a couple of weeks to arrive because it wasn't in stock, but the customer service was excellent. here are a couple of pictures ...

Have you seen this? No idea about this site- but a friend of mine is hot for a B&R Phantom and sent this to me this morning: My link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member X Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Run from that site, run!! Using gen pics is a sure sign that something is wrong and it's a scam site. Stick to the trusted dealers here and they can get anything on the market, without the risk of getting scammed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit_99 Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 That makes sense. My buddy has been watching Trusty's site religiously, waiting for that model to show up.... figures, he'd find a scam site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerms81 Posted July 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Wheaton26 gave a good suggestion for an all black watch like the B&R Phantom or the Sinn U black. I wish they had a rep of either one of those watches. Any other suggetions- looking for the same look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R0NiN Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Isn't there a Hublot Big Bang that has that stealth look? Dunno if it's been properly repd tho.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
