Definitely these round B&R don't really get enough recognition. I've always toyed with the idea of getting the 123 sport or 123 GMT. The on in the OP looks great too.

Same here.

Very beautiful watch. I like B & R, wear a BR-1 94 from time to time. I echo the sentiment that you should look for pre-owned: they really, really lose value when you walk out the showroom door.

Not yet. I bought a blue Yachtmaser and went to Hawaii for two weeks. Decided to wait on this particular expense for a bit.

That's understandable

Saw one of these today having been very excited by the pics I've seen. In my opinion it doesn't look half as nice in the flesh. The colour is much less 'blue' and the finish is a bit flat and disappointing. I can't say I have ever been a big fan of B&R but I was genuinely loving the pics of this. Very disappointed

That's no good! I had very high hopes for this watch. It looks spectacular in pictures. I doubt I'll be able to see one in person until next November at a boutique. The vendor I was mostly interested in buying from has a 30 day no restocking fee return policy though if it's not impressive in person so I might take a shot anyway.
