Hands-On: With The Bell & Ross BR 123 Sport Heritage (Live Pics & Pricing)
Bell & Ross has introduced new BR 123 and 126 models to their popular Vintage line, dubbed Sport Heritage models. The new watches are meant to be reminiscent of designs seen on the wrists of pilots and aeronautics enthusiasts in the 60s. We got the chance to sit down with the watches in Basel a few weeks ago and think we found one of the better value propositions of the show in the 123 Sport Heritage. 2 OF 12 At the helm of the collection are the 123 and 126 Falcon limited editions, which celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Dassault Mystere-Falcon 20, a popular French jet used for business and government operations. These watches are differentiated by the jet's outline at 6 o'clock on the dial and a 50 years insignia on the case back. While they might be the highlights of the Sport Heritage collection, the watch that caught our eye was the entry-level Sport Heritage watch, the 123. 3 OF 12 The 123 Sport Heritage is a simple time and date affair, with large
A Mad Men WIS?
Last year Don Draper wore an Explorer all year. On last nights show he checked the time and, what's that, a black face Seamaster. Now if he could give up the sack suits...
Speedy with an identity crisis
G'day folks,Got this little pearler a few months ago from our very own Fr John. Anyhow, I'm treating it a bit more like a PAM than a Speedmaster - hence the identity crisis. This watch has more shoes than I have (granted, this is not difficult)! I've narrowed it down to these two:1. A Hirsch Leonardo in black shark. Wears incredibly comfy, very durable with water resistant properties.2. A Stone creek gator. Brown with a great texture. Custom made and fits the Omega clasp. Very classy.I have attached some pics to aid your thinking.A delightful wrist shot to finish this off:ThanksGreg
Horrible day
This is a really black day, after 5+ months ownership my 5712-1A has a scratch on the 2nd link near the clasp, can't take a pic as you can only see it under a certain light, I am in shock Ok of course I am joking, well it does have a micro scratch, only one which is not bad after 5 months and 30-40% wrist time, I decided to post this since someone posted not long ago that he wanted one but was too afraid of the scratch factor, it's watches, they will be scratched but by being a little careful it will be minimum, when I say the 1st in 5 months it's true, so I think it's really not bad as I am very careful but not paranoid.Buy watches, yes even RO's and Nautiluses, I don't think that should stop anyone from buying

So it's mid-November. Based on lack of chatter, I assume this hasn't hit the stores yet. Has Rolex ever announced something in Basel and not shipped it during the calendar year?
