lfovco Posted December 24, 2006 Report Posted December 24, 2006 I've tried on BR01 Power Reserve that a friend of mine owns more then few times and I have been drooling over it for over a year now but 46mm is too big for my wrist. I can get away with 44mm Pams cause they kind off wrap around your wrist where the 46mm BR01 is completely flat and just simpy sticks out too much. The new 42mm BR03 is driving me insane, I want one!!! Just wanted you to check out this picture I pulled of off the Bell&Ross forum. Unless there is a nice rep made of this thing I think I'm going to just get one from AD, very likely the PVD version. What do you guys think about this model?
tvt Posted December 24, 2006 Report Posted December 24, 2006 It's cool but I would be concerned about how well the style will age. I mean if you are OK with replacing it in a year or two then go for it, get the gen. But I think it may not stand the test of time very well.
chad Posted December 24, 2006 Report Posted December 24, 2006 (edited) YES YES YES YES 42mm makers are you listening.....this is the THE bell and ross that needs to made!!! Edited December 24, 2006 by chad

gambafreaks Posted December 25, 2006 Report Posted December 25, 2006 i want one now!!!! 42mm please!!!!
chad Posted December 26, 2006 Report Posted December 26, 2006 Yes! I asked andrew about it and he said they might consider it next year but did not seem too interested. Same thing happened with the rubber strap for the planet ocean.....never happened... josh and andrew said they were busy with a secret project that turned out to be mont blanc timewalker chrono......yawn!!....42mm BR would out sell that in a second as well as the rubber strap PO but hey.....what do I know
Guest avitt Posted December 26, 2006 Report Posted December 26, 2006 Don't sweat it, guys...this one will be made! The potential is obvious.
Jos Nana Posted December 26, 2006 Report Posted December 26, 2006 MB Timewalker is not our project.. I am not shameless... Neither is andrew.. 42mm Bell and Ross is definitely worth pondering at our ends.. Thanks joshua
trustywatchguy Posted December 26, 2006 Report Posted December 26, 2006 Chad MB TimeWalker was never a project from us... LOL..the maker simply gave to us to sell as exclusive first. Thats all.. Well Joshua and I did look at this thread and 42mm is a good gents size. I still love the 46mm though Andrew
Watchmeister Posted December 26, 2006 Report Posted December 26, 2006 I would be in favor of the 42mm as well. The 46mm just looks ridiculous on most wrists.
Golfman Posted December 26, 2006 Report Posted December 26, 2006 Same for me, 46mm is huge cause is square !! I have a 47mm Marina Militare, but don't see a B&R 46 on my wrist. Hope a 42 for 2007 .... Joshua & Andrew Presidents
chad Posted December 26, 2006 Report Posted December 26, 2006 Awesome....ponder away guys!!!!!! what about that black rubber strap for my po now...hehe
Guest overboosted Posted December 27, 2006 Report Posted December 27, 2006 i tried on my brother inlaws br-03 and it is sweet indeed. If they get a good one made with the correct rubber bracelet i will jump,,,,unless its $458
lfovco Posted December 27, 2006 Author Report Posted December 27, 2006 Well, Hopefully we'll see the 42mm in a first quarter of 07 with a Swiss ETA for a decent price.
subzero1 Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 Yeah, I'd be in for a 42mm as well, especially since I tried on the HBB and it's too big for me, so that frees up $$. That and a yellow dial Ferrari Panerai with working black chrono's will just about round out my collection.
chrisbailey86 Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 I dont know enough about this watch to judge! but first impressions i didnt like it, after looking at it some more, i see why you want one. Its pure style and in a different class. Thanks for making me aware of this one. Christopher
Guest avitt Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 Just think how brilliant it would be to introduce the BR03 now...Everyone's attention has been captured by the rediculously huge BR01. A version that people could actually wear (that's also a true-scale replica) could be a blockbuster...The only danger is waiting too long, as the whole B&R thing could blow over! The time is now!
Golfman Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 There is any dealer to give us a feed back about this 2007 wish :cc_confused:
evanl Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 I'd be interested in this and the chronograph version. Also, from the pictures in this ebay auction the BR03s don't have screws on the back, so we wouldn't have to worry about the fake screws thing like on the BR-01 reps.

Those fake hex screws bugged me...

That is GREAT, I didn't know that
lfovco Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Posted January 10, 2007 Nice, I think there'd be enough interested buyers here for the maker to get a genuine and make great rep like HBB.
section8 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Posted January 10, 2007 even at 42mm, i just don't understand the draw to this watch. To each his own i guess.
