Bell and Ross BR-01 92 question

[cypher]

I've been wanting to get this watch since it came out in the 1:1 46mm version but hte only thing holding me back is the movement. My question is..

If I wanted to swap the movement out with a better one what are my options and how much would that mvmt cost. Or do you think the mvnt as of now is fine...

Thanks!

I think The Zigmeister had a look at someone's and saw that a genuine ETA 2892 movement would not fit, which also means that the seagull copy would also not fit.

If it's no problem, I wouldn't mind it with ETA 2824 or 2836 (only difference is an additional day wheel I think) but I don't know if anyone has tried. That would be worthwhile though.

Pity about the stamped screws on the back though, that also put me off this particular watch

I've been wearing mine for a couple of months now. The movement has been just fine. I don't mine the "screw" issue on the back for two reasons: first, I don't wear it inside out.....and second, it's a rep....and a damn accurate one.

If you can get a good price on it, don't let the movement issue stop you.

I'm a movement freak, and being one of the poorer members of the board, I have to pick and choose, and I can't afford to buy potential paperweights. I nwant something that will last for years and years, and a movement like this - especially at the price these go for - does not engender confidence in my mind.

Hopefully, there will be a new batch of these coming out soon with good quality movements. And certainly, the smaller Br-03 would be a good idea, too.
