I'm thinking to get my first luxury Swiss watch and I'm obsessed with Bell & Ross BR S Golden Heritage series. Just wondering is Bell & Ross a wise choice to start off with? Would appreciate if you guys can advice on this. Thanks

Do take your time to read and try their watches before committing to one.
After your research, if you still like B&R, perhaps you should redo your research

Just buy what u like...watch is something u will face everyday more than a wife... I have a bell & ross br123 officer silver too... is a good watch for me :laugh:
If you're planning to buying brand new, B&R to me is one of the best watch to buy around 10k
In terms of its design, style and dial, there is just not many that can beat that for the price range
I've a BR126 officer and its one fine good looking watch.. the vintage range is just so clean, legible and beautiful
On a branding standpoint, perhaps it shouldn't, but it gets way more compliments than my other watches that cost much more. Having said that, if it were me, I would buy the watch that speaks to you the most.

For the 15K you could look at pam000, 112,111,210,380 for preown.
Strap options will be more for Panerai watches though if you are into straps collection later.
Try them out if you got the chance usually it makes a difference when you have it on your wrist.

Panerai is indeed a good choice but I have smaller wrist so the watch might not look so good on me. Anyway, appreciate your suggestions :thumbsup:

its a buyers' market now, you may want to see if you can pick up a used B&R if you are worried about losing too much. I like B&R and think they serve a market niche well. Good luck with your decision.
Hey Kesharoo, any recommendation where should I look for used B&R?

it depends on your preferences. if you really like the watch (adore the watch and brand), then go ahead.
i really like the watch from first day i saw. the exact price is 12,600 MYR.

For me I'll choose Tudor ,Because now Tudor develop their own movement.And you can get a very nice Tudor model below 15k.
Where Bell&Ross model are very basic one within 15k range.

Buy a watch that you would love to wear on your wrist
Not other ppl wrist
Watch is more than just history and movement
Many brand with history already collapsed
Many brand with own movement also collapsed
Below rm15k is definitely bell & ross range...
BR golden heritage is also its very original series of design
BR set many trend on design
Even bigger brand with much longer history copying BR design or idea all the time
So I will say
If u like it... buy!!!

Agreed Chris +1 Bell and Ross is a really really well develop watch company with their own way with short history, some brand with long long history but branding also not good as bell and Ross.

Btw, pls check the balance of a B&R on your wrist. It didnt sit nicely on my wrist and kept falling to the sides. Since i have just used my early days budget on it, just kinda accepted & had to just live with it.
So just sharing my experience. Would i buy a B&R as my first watch now? Regardless how i liked it back then, on the benefit of hindsight and over 15k poorer, i'd say NO.
What i would have gone for?
1. Definitely not new. Go for pre-owned
2. Something thats easier to flip and maybe lose less than 40% of what i bought it for
3. Definitely non-PVD material
Good luck

The RV for BR03 are quite good
Unless u r buying at full retail price
N it's sell pretty fast now in pre owned market
Certainly sell faster than most Pam models now
Every brand hv some model resale better than other
I personally sold many Br03 & Br01 and Brv123
I m pretty sure it sell better than many brand at this price range

For me, somehow I think pre own will be my choice as I have seen the 12-15K watches selling for 7-9k pre own after 1 year.
If price of new vs preown small gap then go new instead.
Buying pre own will be better if you choose to sell this watch and get another. You will never know our taste change overtime and this happens to a lot a lot of people. We think one watch for life now when we buy but it rarely happens. There is always something nicer, better all the time coming out.

One of my first few watches was a Bell&Ross.. didnt know better then.. so heart says then i loved it.. so typically ignorance is bliss.. no one taught me that its very likely i wont hold on to the B&R when my economy improves & will flip it.. no one taught me that PVD is the worst case material to take care of & there's no such thing as 'polishing' PVD.. & no one taught me that B&R secondary market value is more akin to Volvo than that to Honda..

Great advice.
But in the end buy whatever tickles your fancy. If you feel a B&R can give you yours money's worth then by all means. For me at 15k, I would look at Tudor Pelagos, the Blue in particular. A beautiful piece.

For me, if just think of having one of it, pre-owned will do since my desire of having other will keep coming. So the one with me now may not be forever.Exactly.. As someone new at developing an interest in watches, its most likely we dont know what we really like.. and we'll keep having a desire for something else.. its a journey until that moment when we really know for sure..

Truth. Choose something that evokes an emotion in you - not because the movement is technically superior, or the case material durable, or whatever else. At the end of the day, it is whether you love wearing it and how you feel looking at it.
As many have noted, you get a lot for your money with a Tudor. But if you don't love looking at it, why bother? So maybe take some time, and consider your options, before settling on one that in your opinion, meets your gives you the best balance of design language, quality, technical (movement / case material), value, and also market perception. Also, who you want compliments from - the general public (choose a B&R), or a watchnut? (choose a Tudor).
Good luck.

Please stay away from B&R unless you intend to wear it forever. Its tough to sell when you wanna upgrade. Be ready to take a 50% hit off what you paid for next time.
The br0392
It's very very fast trade at all second hand shop actually
No joke n resale value is quite good
Even u buy new at good discount
I doubt u will loose 50%

Rolex? PP? I think their design didn't change much over the years.
They changed bro ...
U didn't follow closely
This yr Basel Rolex discon all the 26mm ladies dj
They discon the 40mm SD
They discon the dj2
They redesign the air king last yr
They redesign the datejust 41
They redesign the Daytona steel last yr
They introduced more rubber strap Daytona this yr
Last time Rolex like others all strap
Then almost all bracelet
Then introduce strap for the dressy gold cases watch
Now they too introduce rubber strap for sporty watches started with Yatchmaster rose 2 yrs ago
Look at first gen of milgauss and current milgauss.
Look at Cellini design ... from round to rectangle to round with double bezel ...

The top 3 best seller for entire bell & ross range of watches
All these 3 are nett below rm15k
Personally I don't hv any of all these best seller BR
Only once I had the BR0392 heritage
With Matt black ceramic case
I got it at huge discount
And sold it after few mths at no loss
Watch only worn couple of times on another strap so sell easily as complete like new condition

They not getting inspiration from sinn
BR started from sinn
The brand earlier watches were made by sinn
Helmut sinn are not just their mentor but also making watches straight for them to market it
And the Bauhaus design of above holograph
Is more towards Porsche IWC era
If u remember the ocean 2000

There are some nice preowned CERAMIC ones in the classified section going for 8-9k only ma.
;D ::)
Anyway BR watches with the square design is really popular amongst Malaysians. Many of my non WIS friends are also very taken by the design. Yes it's 'only' an ETA and some of your wis friends will label it a fashion watch but it is a really really well made watch.
Worth buying pre own tbh

But I personally wont purchase it as people around me gives very negative comments on it. I know many said we should go for something we like & adore, but this has been bugging me to the extend that I feel i'm a dumb buying it.
Just my 2 cents.

In my personal opinion I think the BR is an attractive watch. Mostly being its unique & different. Maybe plus some modern feeling to it.Yes you should always buy what you like and not what others like. After all its your money and not other's

I bought a B&R and love every bit. First I was not even bothered to look at this watch but one day just walked into a boutique and tried for fun and Franky after that all I wanted was to buy this watch.
It's unique and lively design

Personally, I think the value of B&R is decent (as objective as I am trying to be). One of the best square watches out there in terms of design and finishing. And you can see the gradual growth of the brand through the "hits and misses" through the years. With recent models like the AeroGT, BRX1, BR03 Diver etc. Sorry fan boy moment. haha but really, choose based on what you feel the best with rather than what someone else thinks of it.
