StormTooper4 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Went to an AD today and saw these two beauties, was'nt sure if i liked them but in the flesh they are pretty special I have to say. Have fallen for the Blue Lume big time. So come on guys give us a flash of your BR 02's if you have any cheers ST4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg_r Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Okay, here's mine... 'Clone' ETA 28,800bph, excellent rubber strap. Downsides are no AR and feeble lume. Got it via a friend who does business in China - not seen this exact model on any of the regular dealers' sites, though - although the 21J version is fairly easy to find.

It's auto ('Asian ETA' 28,800bph as I said in my original post - there's a 21J version around too). I've not tried to use it in water, though - although it's survived usual handwashing etc without signs of misting up. Love the watch - it's my 'weekend' watch usually - doesn't look quite right at work, somehow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboGUATE Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Would you take one if the SOSF factory decided to make one with the same standards? I really like the watch, but the ones available look like crap. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I'd love a gen ETA + AR + decent lume version so yeah, if the SOSF factory produced one, I'd be VERY interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shundi Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 They're interesting...I'd buy a rep over a gen though...I just don't think the gen is worth the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 I reckon greg-r's looks pretty good, having seen the Gen and some reps, his is by far the best version given that the screws are the same colour as the rest of the case looks good to, the Lume looks well applied but its a shame its does not glow as I am sure thats one of teh things about this watch that set it apart. I'd like to see the HE valve though. do you have any other shots. The one I found like this said it had mineral glass, how is the crystal on yours Greg_r, still good? Shundi yeah I guess your right, it is expensive but there are ones on ebay for under 3k. I actually came across B&R in a german airport quite a few years back, before they went Square Style. Their Classic range is really very nice IWC/Sinn like. Im still liking this alot , but would like to see more please, come on guys there has got to be more than 1 member on RWG with one of these.

ST4 The crystal on mine is mineral glass, but still looking just fine. This is the only shot I have that shows anything of the HE valve, but it doesn't show the whole thing, I'm afraid. I'll try to take another shot of it from the right angle next time I have the camera out... I like a lot of the other B&R models too - especially some of their more traditional stuff. Unfortunately, there's no reps of them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
