Thanks Terence for the comment. I agree, the Officer was one of my favorite.

I've always found one-brand collections to be really cool, especially this one. love your BR05!

Thanks for this great video! It was wonderful to hear someone share their attraction, appreciation and stories about their watches.

Thanks Peter. Glad you enjoyed it. More to come!

I have the first diver from B&R & B-Rocket was told in the boutique that aligned screws meant it was a ceramic dial.

Refreshing to see a BR collection on KZread! Nice presentation and conversation. Got yourself a sub buddy, keep it up.

Great history review. I learned something. BR01-94 is my favorite watch. Carbon Fiber face looks awesome.

I found a sub 500 dollar br01-97 unloved on auction and its a little beat, but it wears its scars well and I love it. Nice collection!

Very nice Tony. If you are ever on Instagram please ping me and send a pic. I would love to see it. Curt Brown of the Watch Factor

I’ve always liked these watches. I purchased a $200 Chinese version to test whether I can live with the timepiece long-term & feeling confident enough to pull the trigger on a Nightlum now. 👍🏻

That’s a genius way to test. Let me know what model you decide on adding to the collection.

Well, the BRV192 is my fav! Checks all the boxes for everyday!

It’s definitely a great piece. I wish the brand did a bit more marketing to their their collectors. I find that many folks that know B&R have more than one in the case.

Love this collection

@@thijsruiter4407 yeah I agree. The new red radar is exceptionally cool! My 01s and 03s all get a lot of attention and comments. The red crystal must be a real eye catcher. I think the HUD model would too.

I wear a BR03-92 Heritage, steel, black case. Love it. Talk about presence! BUT I've always found B&R to be too expensive for what they are, even on the gray market. (I found mine on Chrono24 from a private seller.) Won't go into all the whys but that 's the only way I'd get another one - a long looksee at sources and might fight one I find reasonably priced.

Yeah, I think a few brands struggle with their desired price position. I would put B&R with Baume Mercer and even Omega as brands that offer pre-owned options a fraction of the price.

Excellent show.

@@TheWatchFactor You too. I’ve been working my watch corner for 30 years. It has shaped up nicely and I am appreciative.

As much as I love Bell and Ross I fall out of love quickly I had the 03-88. After one expensive service and battery change it had to go The 01-92 GMT was too large at 46 mm My orange special edition was the same thing I was looking for a full Lum, but am going with a night Lum 03-92 The smaller diameter seems more comfortable

Glad you found the perfect selection. I’m definitely not a fan of the repair prices. I try not to be that guy but the repair fees blow my mind at times. I’ve tried govberg over sending to the manufacturer and the prices have been a bit lower.

i had a BR03-92 and instantly regretted flipping it. so now i have picked up another. be aware as there are very good fakes ou there.

I was able to find better pricing pre-owned. I will say, I thought I could handle the 46mm and it was way too big on the wrist. Any model in the crosshairs for you?
