I was in a jewelry store in McAllen, TX of all places and they had pieces from Zenith, Omega, Ball, Bell & Ross, Hamilton, Mont Blanc, Tag Heuer and a couple of others. I tried on several pieces and had a great time.

What really surprised me was that I was fully prepared to dislike the Bell & Ross models but I ended up really liking them. I even like the square models especially the 42mm BR 03-92. I am a little concerned about the PVD wearing off, but I was amazed how much I like the look of it on my wrist. I might be more interested in the large date power reserve model, but I like the simplicity of this one.

I'm sure B&R make fine time pieces, I just can't get past the squarness and the too-simple dial. Guess I like a more traditional shape and some personality on the dial.

You just can't tell what you'll like or not without seeing it in person and/or trying it on. Never say never!

I like the design, just can't past the pricing

I like to be able to read the dial without my glasses on!

I could say "never say never" when it comes to B & R.

You just can't tell what you'll like or not without seeing it in person and/or trying it on. Never say never!

That's probably great advice. I tried on the 46mm model and it felt like I had a dinner plate on my wrist, but the 42mm seemed to fit very well. I am a surprised as anyone at how much I liked it.

Especially marketing photos - they tend to look so flat and 3d rendered IMO. Some watches have looked soooo boring on the brand website but just been wonderful in the flesh!

I own this watch but in steel. Great watch. It certainly diversifies a collection.

So true. And, sometimes it looks great on the website and lackluster in real life.

I've never been a fan of their square watches, but their round ones I like a lot.
