Bell & Ross BR01-94

Hi dear all, looks like I'm in love with the BR01-94 with blue dial! I would appreciate and kind feedback. If there are owners of this watch please do throw in your comments too. Just wondering if those available in the replica market are correct or are there any shortcomings/flaws? I understand that the replica so far for this model is on swiss eta quartz. So does the hand 'ticks' or does it 'sweep' smoothly? And for genuine ones, does it 'tick' or 'sweep'? As for the subdials and date are they all in the correct position? Thanks.

Hi 2005SUBMARINER, thanks for sharing. So you were saying the genuine one ticks or the replica one ticks? Yap that's what I'm thinking too my first replica quartz watch so that I could wear it daily and not worry about anything.

Other than that, is it replicated closely to the genuine one or are there any obvious flaws? And does anyone here bought this watch, please share with us some pictures of this beautiful wtach. I would appreciate that. Thanks.

the original 94 sweeps cause it has a ETA 2894-2 movement vs the rep ESA 251.272 quartz movement .

heres a lil more on the gen 1 94 hope this helps ..

gen i 94

p.s. im still getting the eta swiss quartz rep for work !

Rep does NOT have the ESA/ETA movement, but instead a Ronda 5030.D movement.

I opened mine up just to see what was in it.

The movement is marked: "Ronda 5030.D, 6 SIX JEWELS, SWISS PARTS THAILAND MADE"

So anyone considering purchasing this rep just don't because the advertisement by dealers alone is a flaw in this rep.

I have a BR 01-94, I just love the watch for it's function and how m,uch it "pops" on the wrist by sheer size and the look of the font. I hate the fact that it's a quartz and wish I could mod it to be automatic. Also I hate the fact the lume is so weak. Any suggestions on how to fix that? Where can I get a blend of the "superlume" people have been modding watches with? I did add real stainless hex screws in the back as a measure of authenticity. It's the quartz movement that ruins it but overall the watch is bulletproof.

I will be posting pics of my BR 01-92 Secial edition in orange to show off my mod.

Cheers!
