have you tried on all three watches?

both the BR03 and BR01 wears very different.

i for one is more comfortable with the size of a BR03. also what is the budget and what function do you need for your watch?

if it's a daily wear the PR is quite useless. infact i think most PR indicator is quite useless unless it's a 8days or etc movement. than there is really a function. PR indicators are more practical for manual wind watches. if you wear it daily, the indicator would perpetually be in full charge. so what's the point?

do you need a chrono function? i always prefer a mech compared to a quartz watch simply because of the service cost. yes, servicing may be expensive but try changing a circuit board if a quartz watch and be prepared to have a eye popping surprise.

you know la, some members here are quite harsh, so just upfront stated my concerns

Terrence, I have not tried all the three except only the one on the left,

I am in the plan of re-shuffle some of my collections, BR seem like a good collection, up to this stage, I have not decided, so just collecting the opinions. BTW, thanks for sharing  :thumbsup:

Haha dont know what you mean by harsh. I think most here is friendly la.

We wont judge even if you get a diamond crusted hello kitty watch to wear for yourself.

Who are we to judge the things that YOU like. Not our money that is being used  :Laughing_on_floor:

My favourites. Would love to get the B&R 01 Airborne I or II, but I guess the skull in the middle will do for now.  :-[

BR01-92 and BR03-92 Military.



Closer view.

Nice pictures .. do they still make phantom models anymore ? ... imho i prefer the classic BR01-92 in colors like orange, blue, red, yellow etc. (do they comes in green  :HammerHead:) The BR03-92 Military is slightly smaller.
There a shop at mid valley gardens, can try checking there.
