fkhill33 Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 (edited) Josh now offers the B&R Instrument watch. http://perfect-clones.com/product_info.php...roducts_id=1050 Josh's Rep 92 But seems like it is a mix/fantasy model between the base BR01-92 model and the date BR01 -96 model. Gen 92 Gen 96 At first glance it is a pretty nice model - flaws I can find are the screws a little too small, crown a little different, obviously the date shouldnt be there if it is the 92 or if it is a 96, it shouldnt say 92 on the dial. Strap is obvisouly the standard rep style. Haven't compared the back as yet but overall pretty nice. I (and A LOT of other ppl) have been waiting for this rep for a long long time now and its glad to see Josh offering this model. Good work and keep them coming. Comments and feedback appreciated! Cheers Edited May 24, 2006 by fkhill33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highflyingclive Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 I have seen the original and hated it. But when I saw Josh's pic, I have to admit that I was tempted. That's just me. I won't be ordering it - but I am sure that Jos will sell shedloads of these B&R "Instruments". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Nice watch. I'm one of those who don't care about the flaws, as long as I like the watch. Maybe I finally have another watch I can start "wantin'" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fkhill33 Posted May 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 The back seems pretty accurate too until you notice the fake screws.... By the sawy this is a massise watch, 46m i think! 46mmX46mm too cause its a goddam square! so its not for the faint hearted! This watch was introduced late last year and to me its one of the coolest watch out there. Comes in basic model, date model, a chroco and a power reserve model. I think they come in SS or PVD too. Check this PVD with velco! It's a nasty mother! Sorry about all the posts but incase you havent noticed, I am very excited about this watch!!! Looking forward to newer and more accurate models!

sevomd Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Are the gens 39mm also. I thought they were bigger? Eddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fkhill33 Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 My understanding was that the gen is 45-46mm! Hmm.... have to ask josh about the size of this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Tracy Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 If History is any guide...after Pam, Iwc and Breitling came to sweep me away, after I first looked upon them with a squint in my eye.... I am keeping my opinions to myself..on this one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Cool. I never really like B&R watches but this one is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris5264 Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 When I first saw it I got excited because I've been waiting on this one to come out but I think there are two problems that will stop me from even thinking of buying this one. First, the size is way too small. I will wait for the 46mm to come out. Second, if it is a pure automatic with no winding, I couldn't stand that nice big crown doing nothing.

thecrow Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 I've been waiting for a Bell & Ross too, not sure if I am going to jump on this one or not, may need to hold off on this one. Can't wait to see a review on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leitztozeiss Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 I like this one. There might be a person within 200 miles of me that would recognize this as a rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshot Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Why the factories would rep that and not a Sinn 656 I guess I'll never know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmosblau Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 You can always just get one of these: http://www.steinhartwatches.com/store/airc....html?link_id=9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMK000 Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 (edited) On Josh's rep. Notice also that the gen has bigger screws on the case (front) and also has smaller black screws inside the dial. Nice watch .... but too big for my taste I think. Edited May 25, 2006 by AMK000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadog13 Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Nice watch. I'm one of those who don't care about the flaws, as long as I like the watch. Maybe I finally have another watch I can start "wantin'" i agree with you Admin.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Pitt Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Interesting watch, if a full size version comes out I'd consider getting one and sending it out for PVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdman Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 I just spoke to Joshua and the version with the date is being pulled. The one being sent is the more accurate version without the date. Cant wait to get this one. Birdman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil Hilts Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Good to know that they're fixing it. Now they need bigger screws, a correctly-sized case and the correct ampersand font (no grey background, either). Oh, and they reall need this version: http://forums.timezone.com/index.php?t=tre...o=1752278&rid=0 I likes me some orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hok Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Finally, the true wristclock! sorry, i think its butt-ugly. but don't let that stop you from buying it, it's personal opinion. and i agree that this one will get much attention.

ratchpot Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Why the factories would rep that and not a Sinn 656 I guess I'll never know I agree. Once in a blue moon someone asks for a B&R rep. Loads of people have asked for Sinns and proper IWC pilot watch reps. So what do they do? A bad decision on the rep manufacturer's part, IMO. (and whilst we're at it, give us the damn RO Chrono already...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towcat Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 As far as the 39/46mm debate, I tried on a B&R gen. It's one big honking watch. Would have mindeda slightly smaller version. keep im mind I don't have to size my watches. My PAM and my 45mm PO pumpkin fit me right out of the bag. I don't think my wrists are very big at all but my watchbands tell me differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leitztozeiss Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Wow, a nondate version. I like it ALOT: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leitztozeiss Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Wait a minute . . . wasn't there a version that had a not-so-accurate date window? I must be late to the party noticing the nondate version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
