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.
