I really like that blue on black look. And the type used for the numbers. I wish it wasn't square, and that the B&R logo was about half the size.

Here's a more artisan product:

I believe that is the same watch that was given to Tik-Tok of Oz for his retirement!

Wouldn't mind having one myself.

I like a lot of the Bell & Ross watches but I don't like the square shape of the BR01.

always been a fan of B&R.

I like the large square face....and the exposed screws make for a nice industrial design. KMFDM would have worn this.

These have a real steampunk feel. I believe the first one is done in black and brass as well.

Fugly. And monstruously large

PS: I'm not a B&R hater (I have a Space1)
PPS: I'm not a large watch hater (I have a few 44-46mm)

How big is that thing? I can't really get a feel for the scale. In the 50 mm range or something?

46mm without the crown. But 46mm square is very different on the wrist from a regular round 46mm watch (which btw is already huge - think IWC Big Pilot - few people have a wrist to pull it off). Think about the diagonal... 65mm !

That is huge. I definitely can't pull it off. I currently wear a 39 mm.
