I'd love to hear your opinions of this outrageous new timepiece from Bell and Ross that we have just received.

I absolutely love the styling but hate the size. Why oh why did they have to make it so flipping big?

I'd seriously consider one of these if it were in the BR03 size (42mm) and not the BR01 size (46mm).

The 'gun metal' case is the highlight. It has been purposefully aged and distressed, as has the stunning and incredibly comfortable strap.

This new model also differs from the original Airbourne due to the use of solid metallic skull on the dial.

It is a Limited Edition of only 999.

B and R don't do anything for me in general, but that's just being ridiculous. I always have a good laugh when a quality brand comes out with a crazy design and many ohh and ahh, but then three posts later they knock something creative from a lesser respected brand.

Honestly I'd only wear that 1 day a year. (Halloween)

Prefer the tourbillon, but.....

I'd wear it! Wouldn't buy it new because of the oft discussed price points, but definitely fits my criteria for 'different' and the fact that it's niche doesn't bother me at all.

I like the case finish, but I'd rather see it with the standard dial instead of the skull.

I'd wear it as a belt buckle.... Only if I could get one for 2-3 hundred dollars.

Cack.

I like the finish on the case and strap, but apart from that.... cack. Hated the original airborne version, and this is no better.

(All in my humble opinion of course!)

Does it come with an Ed Hardy T-shirt and jeans?

Looks like something you'd buy for £10 at those stalls in the shopping mall.

I'd definitely get one at that price but not at whatever silly money B&R want.

I wanted to see a photo of the lume on this watch, and found one on a B&R forum. It's hilarious how "beautiful a piece" people on there claim this watch is. Seriously?? lol

Yeah well one B&R forum on a site I won't mention almost banned me from the entire site because I reported on a problem with the hour hand lume on a BR04.
