We have managed to get hold of the very rare and collectable original Bell and Ross BR01 Phantom. These were originally released in 2007 and only 500 were ever made. This may well be the very last brand new one in the world.

Damn, if they weren't too big for me I'd be tempted. Despite having something being delivered before Christmas.

Is that regular PVD or something a little more resilient Rick?

I was tempted to buy a BR03-90 last week at Govebergs... loved the way it felt and looked and I was quite impressed with B&R, and now I'm looking to sell the CE for a FF instead of adding a 3rd to my collection....ohhh wtf, I think I may be the worlds most indecisive human being. :D

I always loved the name :D but couldn't see the point of a watch you couldn't tell what time it was! :?

I've gotta agree with you there Sharky. Non-readable watches just don't yank my chain at all.

Just PVD Roff. I can understand the concern this may create but we've sold a lot of the carbon BR01s, 02s and 03s and never had any complaints.

I know where you're coming from Mr Shark. I think you would have to have this as a day watch. It would make a perfect addition to a collection but I'd never recommend it as an only watch.

My point was that this one could be considered rare as it must be one of the very last examples brand new at an ADs.

I agree with you about the Commandos. We've sold a few of those as well. It is a cool looking watch and a little more practical than the phantoms.
