High End Bell & Ross BR01-93 GMT rep help

Need help!!!

I have unsuccessfully been searching for a higher end Bell & Ross BR01-93 GMT rep. I do not mind paying what needs to be paid to get the better quality and more precisely the closest authenticity.

Can anyone help me find a TD with stock inventory. It seems like I get two options always:

1) The dealer says he has it but once the real pictures show up, it is not the same watch as posted on the website.

2) The dealer says it is in stock, and it is the right watch, but once I proceed with the order, it is magically no longer in stock.

I have attached some pictures of the type of watch I want and the type I do not want.

This is the type of rep quality I'm looking for:

This is what I' not interested in:

This watch is close but the GMT hand is wrong. But I would almost consider this watch if no other option existed.

This watch is completely wrong. The date wheel is white (should be black) and the wheel is designed for a 3 o'clock date cutout (should have angled numbers for a 4:30 cutout). The 24H numbers should be on a slanted bezel. And the 4 screws on the face are printed on not actual screws heads

Pretty much all the TDs can get the same product, so send them pics of exactly what you want and ask if they can find one. Don't rely on their websites as far as inventory goes. As you have already seen, they don't always remove the watches that are no longer in production. You might be better off going with smaller TDs that actually go to the marketplace to find things, instead of the larger dealers that just drop-ship.

 

It's quite possible that with smaller brand like B&R (which is not very popular in the grand scheme of things), you won't always be able to find a particular model. They were either never made, are no longer available after an initial production run, or were not repped that well because they didn't sell.

Thanks for the Info, I have done just that with one of your smaller TD's on here and am waiting for a reply from him.

So I guess all that is left to do is keep my fingers crossed or wait a while (maybe a long while) to get the GEN.

If anyone on here has one of this exact watche, I'd like to hear your feedback on it.

i've got this watch since April/may and found it on M2M sales (the guy was in Singapore and i'm in Europe)

here is a wristcheck :

WristWeek_BellampRoss-0193GMT_zpseca04ed

 

i can definitely say it's really a good and accurate REP

The GMT function works well and the GMT hand is close to the GEN, as you see datewheel is black and correct (IMO) ;

at 1st sight, this wath is good looking and not easy to say "Hey, it's a REP !"

 

But, for the story, i did the same as you : asking TDs, getting no answer or getting strange answer ("just pay for it, i'll get it soon..."), and none of them was able to find it.

It's a very rare REP... and B&R watches are not easy to find (whatever the model).
