I finally have a winder and I am super excited about it.
It was a gift from a good friend, and I am really glad to be able to have a place to store my tiny collection.

That BR looks huge but in reality, at 42mm, it's smaller than both the Speedmaster Pro and the Aqua Terra and only a couple of millimeters larger than the EXP II.

Congrats,Chip!

Chip! Looks great. If you don't mind, send me a PM with your thoughts on the 03-92. I'm thinking of the heritage. I guess you don't need to PM, just give me your thoughts on the Carbon 03-92.

ParisDakarBmw · 13 December 2010, 10:42 AM

It seems your watch winder matches your collection!

R1@160@alltimes · 13 December 2010, 11:14 AM

Looks great!

BIG fan of Bell & Ross myself. A BR03-94 Chrono is my daily wearer.

kcmo · 13 December 2010, 11:48 AM

Wow, looks great!

Very nice Chip! The broad arrow looks sweet.

It has been a great watch so far, going into two years of ownership.
If you put the looks of the Instrument aside, which I know they are not for everyone, it really is a stellar watch.
It has a rock solid construction and as soon as you have it in your hand you get a sense that you are holding a well built, tough as nails product. Attention to detail is apparent everywhere and the blue lume rocks!
The movement is ETA 2892 based (same as the one used by Omega in the Seamaster Pro and the PO line) and it is extremely accurate. It is well within COSC.
One neat feature that I have never seen anywhere else: You can elect to NOT hack the second hand if you want to set the time without stopping the second or you can hack it if you want to reset the time.

Thanks buddy!
It is actually a Seamaster AquaTerra Chronograph.

Thanks Daren.

I think it looks particularly good on a Panerai strap

and particularly bad on the OEM leather or rubber strap.

I do not care for the way the OEM straps taper from 24 to 20 mm.

spuds · 14 December 2010, 07:26 AM

Love the winder!!

To be honest B&R's don't "float my boat" but that Broad Arrow's certainly rockin' it!!

Thanks.

To be honest, B&Rs don't float most people's boats LOL.

For some reason though... It's probably the very reason I like it.

That's not a Speedmaster Broad Arrow, it's a Seamaster AquaTerra chronograph.

dman · 14 December 2010, 08:06 AM

Not sure what it is on the B&R, never liked them in pics till I saw it in the metal, to me it is just a cool, funky and not oft seen watch. I love it. And the rest of your family is damn sweet too.
