Is Bell & Ross a good choice for first luxury watch under RM15k?

Looks like they got inspiration from Sinn.

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

For below 15k. You can actually consider Tudor as well.

RM15k better get a Black Bay or Pelagos

Why need 15k?

There are some nice preowned CERAMIC ones in the classified section going for 8-9k only ma.

 

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

In my personal opinion I think the BR is an attractive watch. Mostly being its unique &  different. Maybe plus some modern feeling to it.

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.

Regards,

No such thing as dumb for buying a watch u like, u wear it, Not others!

It's dumb to buy something ppl like than buy something urself like

I'm new to luxury watches and have been looking at various brands. However i think it's all about personal taste.
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

I started my watch collecting with the stainless steel BR01-92. Never regretted. But choose a watch not because of brand solely. Choose because you love the design, you love the feel of it. Ultimately, you are wearing it, not anyone else.

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.

Bell & Ross have it's own creative design but for RM15k, but with this amount of money I'll bang it for other brand such as Omega or preowned rollee(depend on deal sometime lucky) 

[lactose_operon]

im also considering of getting a B&R. i guess the best bet is to get a pre-owned unit as a starter

[berdsc]

Sorry never a B&R for the first watch, no offense.
MYR15k you could have a lot of choices such as Omega, TAG, and Panerai
