and so I present my lump of coal....

The Bell & Ross BR03-92 PHANTOM
Image

I have been waiting for it for two weeks (overseas shipping stinks).

Ever since seeing this watch in person I couldnt quit thinking about it.. so what the heck... :) I must say that the longer I look at it (expecially on my wrist..) the more I like it. This watch is extremely confortable to wear as well. I am so stoked right now!!!!!

Scott

(I really dont have the right equipment for a good macro)

Here is a "crappy" LUME shot. Like I said earlier, I dont have the right setup for good macro pictures so .......

This was after about 30 seconds charge right next to a 75w bulb

Well done Scott, good to see you took the plunge! I promise you won't regret it. If you're anything like me you'll want another one soon. :lol:

It looks great on your wrist, perfect fit. I know I have brought this up before but I would be the first in line to buy an all black, black steel Avenger Skland or maybe even the Super Ocean Heritaage Chrono. Just my two cents though, Great looking watch Broncosport!

Yes very nice. You won't see many of those about - especially with the limited annual production.

Scott,
Any chance of a photo beside the Breitlings for a size comparison?

Very nice pick up - well done.

I looked at B&R again yesterday, and they really are appealing watches - I just have such a long list :cry:

The Phantom really does have great presence on the wrist, and the with the tone on tone colouring it's a real statement.

Regarding the lume: It has a wierd effect. When you have it freshly charged and shut off the light it glows blueish and because of the size of the numbers and hands and that the crystal is perfectly flat.. it looks like a clock STICKER! Kinda neat, but its hard to describe. No where near the lume "power" of my Breitlings, but its OK.

I feel like I may have started down a path towards another Bell & Ross in the future. This watch is so comfortable and the finish is top notch.

I am going to try to assemble a SOTC picture and that will get a size comparison for those you ask.

Thanks for the comments.

Scott
