Bell & Ross BR 03-94 Carbon Orange Watch
When you hear the name Bell & Ross, if you're like me, you have a particular mental picture that comes to mind - a square case that calls to mind the very aviation instruments they're intended to reference. For 2014, Bell & Ross is introducing a new model to their Aviation collection that relies not just on the shape, but also the color scheme, to establish the airplane roots.The new model goes by the name of BR 03-94 Carbon Orange, and for my eyes, the orange is the star of the show, especially when paired with the orange canvas strap (sure, you could opt for their standard black rubber strap, but why?) that manages to be just as bold and blocky as the case it's paired to.The orange then carries over onto the dial.

seal greasing

Are we becoming a group of flippers?
I hate what is going on in the luxury watch market. Its happening on the PP as well as Rolex marketplace. Demand is outstripping supply. Worse than I have ever seen before.So for example I buy a 5711 at an AD for $29K, msrp, I sell it to a reseller at $35-$40K, and they mark it up to around $50K. Just crazy! Even if I love the watch, its really hard to walk away form $5K, $6K or even more as an overnight profit. I don't have a remedy, but it makes even the most ardent collectors think about flipping. It's a viscous cycle.
