I'm not even sure how this happened :-)

[GGD]

So yesterday I went to a local AD to check out the Tudor Pelagos & also enquire about a blue dial Seawolf that I miss.

Loved the Pelagos... couldn't stop thinking about it but did the responsible thing and left to "think about it".

Today I headed out to have another look at the Pelagos (with CC in hand) because I was pretty sure I'd pull the trigger.

I take another look & again decide to think about it because it's not my usual style & want to be sure.

I walk down the road to my favourite AD just to browse & see what's new (they don't carry Tudor).

Whilst chatting to the Manager he tells me that they're no longer going to be carrying Bell & Ross and are looking to liquidate their existing stock (some at below cost)... and like a drug dealer putting a table full of crack in front of an addict he shows me the stash!!!

20 minutes later I walked out the door with this







BR03-88 Aviation SS with digital / analog display., day / date., 2nd timezone., countdown timer., stopwatch and the most comfortable rubber strap I've ever worn.

I'm still not sure what happened other than I think I got a great deal & a pretty cool watch

[Jeep99dad]

awesome!! I really dig it! Now go get a Pelagos

[matt.wu]

I had the same experience today, Don. Went to lunch with a friend; came away with a watch.

That B&R is one I've never seen before. They're kinda cool watches, and especially that one. I liked the BR-02 I had for a sec.

[CGSshorty]

That's really nice Donna. Go back and get the Pelagos now so I can buy it from you when you are done with it.

I was browsing some B&R pieces the other day and thought that I certainly wont mind owning a few if offered at the right price Jumping on a great deal is a sign of true WIS .. Haha !
Congratulations .. would love to see a wristshot !

[streetracer101]

That's a cool one. I wouldn't ever pay retail for it, but at about 40-50% off its a solid value.

[kfalk]

Great deals are too hard to resist. Cool piece!

[GGD]

Thanks guys!! Just came inside & noticed it has really cool blue lume

[poppydog]

Striking piece Donna, and sounds like my sort of shopping experience.

[hoppyjr]

Very nice Don!

Now go back and add the Pelagos

I like that one Donna. Never seen that model.

I'm a sucker for ani-digi

[Jamie]

Sweet Don sweet indeed

[snootydog]

Not a fan of ani-digi myself but thats a cool looking watch and i really like that lume

[93 Turbo]

Nice pickup. Most of B&R's watches do little for me, but that is very nice.

Well said Nishant...

I likethat one Don and I really like the rubber strap on it...I had a BR02 like Matt...

Congrats

[GGD]

Thanks guys - this one really pushes all my buttons to be honest.

I love ana/digi especially with a rotating bezel option as well. I could have grabbed the carbon (PVD) version but decided to go for the SS because the brushed finish / squared off lugs have a really cool industrial look that I like.

The rubber strap + the size of this one sits perfectly on my wrist which is a rarity for me (I'm normally between holes).

PS... the Pelagos is definately in my future (just not at the current price of $4700 at the AD).

[dukerules]

Very cool. I too have a soft spot for ana-digi watches.

[hobbit712]

Very nice! I have never seen that one before. Is that one of their smaller cases?

[deepcdvr]

Wow! How fkn cool is that! Huge congrats, don! I love my b R03 - perfect size - wearing it now on the deck of the sub (heading out sbortly). Enjoy it and I want FIRST dibs!

[SCM64]

Congrats D.

[Zidane]

Nice catch!

[toxicavenger]

i can honestly say that is one of the very few square case watches I actually like. great pickup donna!!

[jimyritz]

Reminds of the Breitling Aerospace...

[belligero]

That's about the least crappy B&R I've ever seen. I didn't even know they did ana-digi watches — cool! Makes a lot of sense, I like it.

[craniotes]

I've had an an itch for that one ever since it was released. Basically, it's a Breitling B-1 in a cool square case, and lord knows I miss my B-1. I just wish it were thermocompensated, but even so, it's still a lot tougher and more accurate than any mechanical.

Good job, Don!

Adam

PS - The French Air Force LE was pretty neat, too.
