Thats it, if there ever was any dought that beuity is in the eye of the beholder it is now proven. My brother just bought this monstrosity for 5000 USD:

What the hell? It looks like a gym beater, and an ugly one at that. I dont care how sophisticated the movement is it is butt ugly!!!! Why would anybody in their right mind pass up the whealth of temptation that is sub 5000 USD Swiss watches and settle on that hideous thing is beyond me!

/rant

I will say the material and crown are of exceptional craftmanship, but as soon as I put my Chronomet Evolotion back on I wanted to slap him upside the head.

i would have to agree with altair on this one, that is a pug fugly watch. $5k on that wow . . . some of the bell & ross around $1-2k look like pretty good value but that . . . wow is the only word that i can think of :shock:

Sorry Chance97, but that B&R is not my thing at all! The dial looks quite nice, but square case with those "Frankenstein's neck" style bolts at the corners looks grim to me!

Bell & Ross do make some nice (if a little understated) watches...... but this isn't one of them IMHO!!!

To each his own, but... Wow. Someone beat that watch with an ugly stick.

I saw my first Bell and Ross in person on vacation and they are much better in pictures than in person!
