Bell & Ross BR03 Type Aviation French Air Force Watch: For 250 Really Lucky Fighter Pilots (At First)
There are two ways that this watch was made - Note that Bell & Ross is based in France. Either the French military strong-armed Bell & Ross because they felt like bullying someone around, or Bell & Ross begged the Air Force for the PR opportunity as the military arm probably had better things to do, and was not interested in gifting a select bunch of pilots with an expensive watch. Who knows how it went?Well what ever the impetus for the creation of these Bell & Ross French Air Force watches, they are pretty neat. Basically, they are an exact melding of the traditional Bell & Ross BR01 design, mixed with the ubiquitous Breitling Aerospace (and its derivatives). It is funny because even though the Breitling Aerospace is getting close to being two decades old from first appearance - it is only now getting a serious number of homages and copycats. These are harsh words in the watch words, but they are not bad. The industry is based around a combination of reformulation

Hirsch strap sizing?????
I have an omega 3570.50 on the way to add to my small collection. Im super excited. I want it on a strap and have found the Hirsch knight strap in black. I'm trying to determine the size to order. I know the lug size is 20mm. However, they come in large and in xlarge I believe. My wrist size is around 7 inches. Will the large fit properly or should I look for a different brand that offers smaller sizes? Also, are there any U.S. Hirsch retailers that I can order it from? Thanks in advance everyone.
