Bell & Ross make some very desirable pieces, but I am afraid that this one crosses the line a bit too much into the fashion side of things? IMHO? :huh

I am a HUGE fan of B&R: I am in fact wearing my BR03-92 Phantom and have been wearing it for the past 20 hours. I am planning on discussing this watch with the B&R rep at the end of the month at an AD event. I am looking forward to hearing his explanation for this piece.

In my opinion, there are only two type of guys that would wear this watch. First, aficionados of graphic tees, tribal tattoos and hair product. The second, those in the airborne that would love to beat the crap out of the aforementioned.

I'd be interested to hear it too. I love B&R, but I agree with Driver, this just isn't in keeping with the instrument line at all.

Yikes... in general, the only people I forsee being interested in this watch are actual members of the Jolly Rogers flying squadron or 103rd Airborne.

Great! It is a wonderful match for my "Winged Skull" silver ring. :D
Cheers,

The watch itself is pretty stupid, but I like the concept behind it.

ummm. well not my style. and the price has to many zeros for the perceived value for me. Now that I look at the entire family they produce I'd have to say they just don't turn me on. I suppose for Halloween, if I had more $$ than I knew what to do with.
