Bell and Ross....never saw this one

Post by hobbit712 » Sun Dec 16, 2018 1:41 pm

I'll admit I really have not been in the watch market for a while as I am pretty content with my collection and other expenses are taking priority these days. I have liked a few Bell and Ross over the years but nothing that blew me away. I on on Jomashops email list and get blasted daily by them. Today I saw a blue dialed watch on the ad today. Thought I would check it out. I am a BIG sucker for blue dialed watches. I am really liking this one though. Has this model been around a while I just never saw it?

Love these style B&Rs. I’d prefer it without crown guards and would need to find out if this suffers from the same spring bar placement as the similar looking GMT and chrono?

I like that bracelet enough that it wouldn’t matter. Would probably never see a strap.

I like it. It’s a B&R twist on the SM

That’s a cool one. New, vintage?

It's a great looking watch, but $2300 from a grey market dealer? Nope.
No, it's not Tourettes.
