Bell & Ross...

[ricardopalamino]

I recently acquired this Bell & Ross BR03 - 92 Aviation watch that I had been wanting to get this year . This one came with a signed Bell and Ross stainless bracelet  . I really hadn't seen any of this model with a Stainless Steel bracelet before . 

I installed a silicone rubber B & R strap until I get one of the leather straps . It's the 42mm model and I believe they have a 46mm version . It has a bright blue lume that is very easily read owing to the large uncluttered dial .

Even with my poor eyesight I would be able to see this on my wrist. Its nice and clear but rather big.

Really nice watch, really nice indeed.

Nice watch if a little on the large side for my taste.

I do have another problem with it too. A mysterious screw in the middle of the back with a label that says "do not unscrew" would be too much for me to resist. It's like having a big red button that says "do not press"... you just have to to see what happens!!

Its very tempting.

I have seen some of these B&R's for sale, but not up close,

I can see why they call it "aviation" cuz it looks like this?

very nice watch!

Bell & Ross does indeed make aviation cockpit instruments .

The 'do not unscrew' screw is no great mystery, It's gives access to the setting lever, as the watch is de cased from the front. 

But what was i originally going to say? oh yes, really nice watch, I'm jealous only I too share the problem of some others in that I cannot wear large watches, appreciate? yes. wear? no.

Very nice time piece.

The "do not unscrew" directive is definitely for newbs like me.

How does it go again, only fools rush in where angels fear to tread....

Thanks . I had gone window shopping in a high end shop in Waikiki , [Tourneau ] , and saw the Bell and Ross line and had to have one . 

I realize that it has a large presence , but when you see and wear it ,....it's nice  . I do like it .

I'm reminded of an off color joke.

A child was born with a solid gold screw in his navel.

All his life he & everyone ask the question what is it for?

He is told to go to India where such things are known by the Yogis

He goes to India, & is told to climb the golden mountain to find the answer

He reaches the top & yells what is this screw for?

A golden cloud forms overhead ,a gold arm pierces the cloud with a golden screwdriver 

which unscrews the golden screw in his navel.

He stands up and his butt falls off!
