Cockpit Companion: Testing The Bell & Ross Br 03-92
Bell & Ross has been making pilots' watches since the company was founded two decades ago. Initially, they were traditional-looking, round watches, but in 2005 it came out with BR 01, a square-case, round-dial watch meant to resemble the flight instruments in an airplane cockpit. The watch is very big: 46 mm across. Bell & Ross, headquartered in Paris (although its watches are made in Switzerland), followed up with a smaller version, the BR 03, which is 42 mm across, and then with an even smaller one, the BR S, 39 mm wide. We tested the Golden Heritage version of the flight-instrument-inspired Bell & Ross BR 03-92. With photos by OK-Photography. Our test watch, introduced in 2013, is a member of the 42-mm family. The 92 is a reference to the ETA Caliber 2892, which was used in the BR 03-92 series when it was first introduced and is still used in many of its models. (The Golden Heritage itself contains the Sellita SW 300, which was designed to be used as a substitute

AD vs Grey
Branching out from another hot topic of paying over MSRP for a Daytona C.Out of town today and I stopped by an AD to check out their inventory. Same old news, not a single SS Sport model other than an Air King. A sales approached me and asked me what am I looking for. I gave him a list of models and his manager (I think) joined the conversation. AD: Well, you need to have a relationship with us in order to get on the list for these Professional models and the Daytona's waiting list is minimum 8 years. ME: Oh, so you don't have anything in stock now?AD: I don't know. Maybe. Maybe not. (Some vague Bs that I forgot what he said).... if you want to start a relationship with us now, I can get you a professional model much faster. (Pointing at the DJs & PMs)ME: how fast? Do you have something at the back?AD: I don't know. Maybe. Maybe Not. Depends how strong our relationship is. (Hinting on some PMs)ME: Where will that WG GMT BLRO take our relationship to?AD: That, my FRIEND, if you buy

Rolex and Tudor where the teasers??

DD40 + Steel Royal Oak vs RG Royal Oak
Im very close to going down to the Rolex AD this morning to pick up a yellow gold DD40 with champagne dial. However, I got to thinking last night that I could drive a bit further and add my steel Royal Oak 15400ST to the cash and get a full rose gold Royal Oak 15400OR...What would you go for? In my opinion when it comes to a full metal watch, yellow gold suits me better than rose gold. However, there is no denying that the 15400OR is one hell of a watch and would be great to own, looking incredible on the wrist... but is it better than a DD40 AND a steel Royal Oak 15400ST??
