I've been debating getting a Bell & Ross for a long time. I like the style, but they also seem a bit silly. I had some cash leftover from some other deals and one popped up on TZ. So far I like it. My XL Panerai straps fit it, which is nice. They don't have the taper of a standard B&R strap, but oh well. Phuzzy phone pic:

I've been increasingly interested in B&R but can't pull off a B01 I'm sure. Would like to try on a B03 though.

Looks GREAT!

Looks nice Dan. How does it feel on the wrist?

Feels good. It's big but thin and pretty light, kinda like a Radiomir, maybe I'll take some side-by-sides later. I have large enough wrists to pull it off :).

I was thinking it would feel like the 210 or a 183

B&R, like Panerai Radiomir, just look better in the larger sizes. Something about the B03 and the 42mm Rads and 40mm Luminors just look wrong to me, even on smaller wrists.

I say try them on before youd discount the larger versions!

Thats a nice model Dhalem, enjoy!

Love that white dial on brown strap. A B&R is high on my list!
