I got something new and greatly discounted. Im so happy>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Hello Folks & fellow trfers
I am a new proud owner of a Bell & Ross type dimineur professional 200m submarine watch! the discount was too great to ever pass up. One day it will go to my son when he can know how to take care of such things. I really love how sturdy the clasp is, and the comfort level of the strap is great. A swiss ETA superquartz movement insures very precise timing so thats a 10! Nicely brushes and well crafted SS case not too large on the big size as some B&R's tend to be for some people, Included is a faraday cage as well for antimagnetic protection. Also this watch GLOWS like crazy from a seemingly generous application of super luminova so readability is granted 24/7. Nice screw down crown a 4:00 makes sure it never diggs in to my wrist. And the Unidirectional bezel has a full scale for diving times and clicks just right and on point with 4- 15 minute scales centered around the bezel. Included is antireflective glass as is standard on all B&R watches. Throw in a quick date function and as the manual says an I quote "this is the ultimate submariner watch" (Let the Subby Jokes start). I never really thought I would own a B&R Watch and I am really quite happy with this purchase (75% off!!!) Anyone else with B&R is welcome to put up some pics and let me know your feelings towards the brand. Personally I think the big square instrument watches dont look good on me , so this B&R fits my tastes. I will apologize for the crummy I phone pics right now as I do not have my camera at home now but tis better than nothing no? all in all for a quartz watch in this price range I have to give it a 10. nothings perfect I know, but I feel this was a great value that will give me happiness as is sticks around and gets beaten up even as I check the time on it after a week in the droor its spot on Fantastic! Enjoy your Day night evening whatever it is where you are All the best Dan |

I should also add that in Vancouver there is only 1 B&R boutique at Holt Renfrew.

The Funny thing is that inside the manual it actually says "This is the ultimate submariner watch" I think a certain Geneva based horology company would have something to say about that. It also says it is used for submerged mine clearance, a job that prolly takes more balls than the LA lakers.

I’m not into typical bell and Ross pieces, but the piece above is beautiful. It’s not like the other square pieces they have. Congrats on your piece. It’s a head turner.

Niceeee
I wish bell ross had kept to their older designs. One of my grails is a mint hydromax white dial. Impossible to find. And when i do come across one, so expensive.... |
