Like the chrono version very much. I've always wanted a PVD watch, that one is VERY sharp. What are the retail prices on those two just as they are?

I prefer these two in the satin SS cases. I like the Heritage dials with the PVD cases.

Is the PVD coating the same as what Bell & Ross calls the 'Carbon' coating? My 03-92 carbon finish did not hold up well, scratched through very easily.

I like that chrono. maybe not on a PVD bracelet, but that brown calf looks pretty sharp.

I really like them, especially the non-chrono. I'm just still trying to figure out why B&R's cost what they do.

Yeah, I get that. I guess to me they just always seemed a bit overpriced, but then again I'm cheap.

Ive got to be honest here... they both look like they cost no more than a couple of hundred bucks. B&R is just one of those brands ive never really understood.

That's a pretty steep price point for both of those watches. You can get much more watch with other brands at those prices.

Breitling diesnt have an automatic watch, let alone a pvd one for 3k.

The cool thing about these watches is that the crystal is much higher than the rest of the case instead of being flush like most modern watches. It gives them a real vintage feel.
