Bell Ross BR02.20
Thought on this massive diver, the Bell & Ross BR02.20? It's freaking HUGE and it's from a almost micro brand but damn if I don't think think it looks pretty damn cool.
This is the Phantom model.

Re: Bell Ross BR02.20
Is it larger than the original BR02?

Re: Bell Ross BR02.20
Don't know, I think it's an older model?
I thought it looks great on a strap:

It's the same 44mm case as any 02. They did a few dial and case variations. The 02 has been out of production for a couple of years now. It wears extremely well for its size.

Re: Bell Ross BR02.20
That is fair for that model in mint condition with both straps and pelican case. Does that mean your 8500 didn't cure the itch?FlyPenFly wrote:Hmmm found one under 2k. Finger on the hair trigger here...

Re: Bell Ross BR02.20
I had one of the BR02- SS with orange hour hand-- thought it was 49-50MM L to L and was pretty comfy on the B & R rubber strap-- I want the new diver...

Re: Bell Ross BR02.20
Slippery slope. Enjoy. I've had a one of these. They are great and worked even on my 6.5" wrist, although it would've been better if my wrist was 7" or moreFlyPenFly wrote:It just restarted the addiction.streetracer101 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 28, 2017 2:28 pmThat is fair for that model in mint condition with both straps and pelican case.

Re: Bell Ross BR02.20
Often toyed with the idea of one of these. I just like how the package came together.

Re: Bell Ross BR02.20
I think that B&R might be wearable even if smaller wrists due to the same visual trick which makes the 44mm Seiko Marine Master wearable - the large case balanced by the relatively small dial opening.
Re: Bell Ross BR02.20
I absolutely love mine and am wearing it right now. I bought it for just over 1k, watch head only and in probably 85% cosmetic condition. I think 2k for like new and as a complete set is a reasonable price. Very comfortable watch. From lug-bar to lug-bar is only about 42mm, although when measured from lug ends it's about 50mm.

Re: Bell Ross BR02.20
Thanks guys, I'll sleep on it.
Looks pretty cool but not sure if I'm going to feel like I have a tactical clock on my wrists.

Re: Bell Ross BR02.20
It has 24mm lugs and will take any strap. I bet it would look a lot slimmer if you removed that bulky rubber strap.

Re: Bell Ross BR02.20
Actually the lugs are 26mm unlike the BR01 & 03 which have 24mm lugs...

Re: Bell Ross BR02.20
reference point:
on a 6.5 wrist...
it really wears comfortably, cuz it basically has no lugs
