I always love Bell & Ross BR01. Strong DNA, highly legible, fun to wear with different strap.
I have bought and sold a BR01-93, love the design, black case with strong luminous index and hands with orange highlight on the GMT hand. however i sold it due to my personal character, i really hate to see the scratches on pvd case.
Also traded in a gloss ceramic BR01. scratch proof almost, but i dont really like the bling bling appearance after all, i cant even play with strap changing
so i was early aiming an airborne ii, the aged case (sand blasted pvd) is cool. love the skull as well.... despite its hard to tell time
But i was offered with this Carbon Fiber LE 2 weeks ago at good price, i pull a trigger for the 3rd time for a BR!
the watch was really light, yeah thanks to its carbon fiber case.
the index and hands are white luminous, made it so legible on the black carbon fiber dial.
this is a non date watch, i an happy to wear it over the weekend.
it was a limited edition, total 500 was made.
BR01 design was so simple, the flat case back actually sit well on your wrist with the super short lug, most ppl with small wrist also can carry it
the screwed down crown was well finish, easy to grip as well.
the lugs was pvd steel, i dont actually know the case construction, how it sandwich the steel lugs in between of the carbon fiber case
a pvd buckle is matching the black carbon fiber case
Changing strap is easy with the tool (2 allen keys) provided
i dont think you will scratch your watch for changing strap yourself, i find it very easy with BR01!
i always love BR packaging, u get all you want.
the boxes are well made, from the white thick paper cover to the black box and the form protecting the watch...
the whole package actually inclusive of 3 straps - Velcro, rubber strap, carbon fiber strap
i actually strap on this watch with the Velcro after the photo shot, it is very very comfortable despite its 46mm case size.
i am not going to put the standard spec here, you can easily google for it.
after wearing it for 3 days, the ETA 2892-a2 was beating well within 3s a day
i must say, i love BR01 design, i like the carbon fiber case, i like the comfort level, i like the legibility....
so its a 9/10 watch in my opinion for its price
the only setback is the crystal is very thin!
sorry guys, i no longer own macro lens!
I will get a lume shot when i free, the lume was good!
