PuristSPro have got some shots up of B&R.

Not sure that I would want to live with it, but the red radar is very cool!

I like their round ones, not big on the square. The red radar is pretty cool looking but I'd never wear it.

It is quite possible my next watch, if there IS a next watch, will be the Vintage 123 (non-chrono) or 126(chrono) Heritage. I couldn't adjust to the width of the 02 strap. I have still yet to strap on a Vintage Heritage but have heard they wear a little larger than the stated diameter of 40mm.

I like Bell & Ross, a lot. Especially their Aviation series.

And I know my daughter will love the Airborne series, especially the 672. She's currently going through that period. :wink:

Maybe Tom can understand me better.

That red radar is really cool, but I would have prefered it if they would have only done the gradiated red on the second disc and maybe large dots for the hour and minutes. Still pretty cool.

That radar is interesting, but freaking ugly! Looks like a Burger King toy from a childrens spy movie promotion. On the other hand, some of the polished models dont look half bad, although pretty much the same as always.

It's very weird - I just realized that's a Purists link too - no idea why they moved the original link to behind a registration portal - but it is the Purists :lol:

B&R seem to come up with cool ideas every year.

I like the red radar, although I agree it looks a bit more gimmicky than the original radar (as an aside, I recently had a chance to pick up a radar at a reasonable price and was seriously tempted).

I've never liked the Airborne, but I like that aged steel finish. Hopefully that will make its way onto the regular BR01/03 range one day.

Ceramic BR01 is good news too.

The gun metal Airbourne is now my favourite (achievable) new watch from Basel.

However, I fear it may be a little too big for me after I was recently leant two Chrono BR01s.

My daughter would totally agree with you Geoff, even though she would prefer the 672. :wink:
