Tryk Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Here are some photo's I snapped of my first decent replica. It is a B&R BR03-51, with 42x42x13 case size. This is not a correct replica as I don't believe this watch came in a phantom version...but I buy watches because I enjoy them, not because they are "correct". The faults I have found are that on the back case and band, the model is listed as BR01... also on the back case there are 4 allan screws etched in... The watch has automatic 21J movement and so far has kept perfect time and the power reserve seems to be very decent! Anyway enjoy the pictures, this is my first time posting a watch!

Guest Sql_pl Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Hey now that looks cool! Might not be accurate but definately and eye-catcher! Wear it well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3d-doctor Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 accurate or not it's a fine looking time piece to my eye just ordered a 46mm B+R myself if it's as big as i think it'll make a nice desk clock i'll also be going with a nylon strap i suspect where did you pick up this model been looking for a decent phantom (all black but the carbon always appeals) also can it run twin timezones?? in any case it's nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboGUATE Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Thanks for posting. The important thing is that you enjoy your timepiece regardless of it's accuracy (although if it's pretty close, the better). Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not held one in person but you would need to be a bigger guy to pull it off. I am only 5'10", with about 6.5" wrist and this 42mm as you can see takes up good space on its own! That is the reason I went smaller. I also have a nylon B&R band on the way for this one! I purchased this, and another BR02 for my brother from a seller on ioffer.com but he does not currently have any watches listed. The BR02 that the seller sent was different from what was listed in the auction...still a very nice watch however, and I can't complain as the prices are fantastic. I have been in contact with the seller and he does have a website, but I don't want to post it as I am not sure how reliable he is. You can PM me if you want the link. I did just order 2 more watches from him, a Panerai and a Chopard.... so we will see how the quality is on those units before I make any more judgement. And yes it does run 2 timezones, and since taking the pictures I have set that up better so that the hour hands are more in sync. Also, thanks for the comment Sql_pl!

Yes thank you that is how I feel, as long as YOU enjoy what you wear! And of course it helps that the watch is a very good replica, the chinese guys just decided to build it as a phantom, which I am very happy about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
