This is one for all you fans of the B&R Phantom look. I came across this today on the net -

Image

47mm (yay!), titanium (boo!), "graphite on black" dial, Valjoux 7750 movement with Incabloc and Glucydur Balance, Sapphire crystal + sapphire cystal display back, numbered LE of 24. $7500

This is the Eric Dane edition for the Chysalis organisation.

I really like it............... but I don't $7500 like it!

Nice, but not really different - and sure as hell not $7,500 for a Benz :shock:

I always liked Ernst Benz' designs but their prices seem unjustified. If I could pick one up used I would consider it. otherwise I'll just keep lookin.

I 100% agree with both of you (Mikey and Roff) on this. $2000 maybe..... and only for this model too, but $7500 is in La-la land! Image

Agreed, it's very nice, but for that money I'd get something completely different.

It's not doing a whole lot for me, I must say.

Without meaning to hijack the thread, I tried on a BR-03 phantom the other day. It's even more impressive on the wrist than it is in photos. I almost cracked and bought it on the spot! (Current MSRP out here for the BR-03 works out to less than US$3,300).
