Watch Aficionados?

Re: Watch Aficionados?

I think you can snag them between $2500 and 3K?? I believe that US retail is $3500..Most watches can be bought with a 25-30% discount.

Re: Watch Aficionados?

A friend of mine just picked up a BR01-92...It's a watch that wears super big because of the square case. My oris is 47mm and wears like a 44 (which is good for my 7.5" wrist.) The B&R wears like a 48-50!! Too big for me. I can see myself eventually purchasing a 03-92..the 42 is a better size for me. I really dig the (military) olive green one!!

What is that watch worth out of curiosity?

I am not sure of the lug size, but this is the watch/style I am thinking of.




The sub in the buckle is sweet

Re: Watch Aficionados?

There are lots of independent strap makers around, so just look and maybe find someone who has made some straps for the type of watch you have and then you should be good. Croc is nice, but not cheap, love it on my Monaco.

My wife has taken a bit to wearing my B&R these days, she keeps saying it is too big but has worn it 3 times in the last few days, so I may keep my eye out for a white BRS for a gift for her at some point, just need to ditch that patent strap it comes with.

Re: Watch Aficionados?

Does anyone know where to get custom watch straps like this locally?

I am thinking I need a croc skin band!

What lug width are you looking for? If it is 24mm, I can shoot you some good places to look. (not local but good.) I have a Heroic18 gator strap with the sub buckle on one of my watches.....it's bad-ass!!

Re: Watch Aficionados?

Andrew I buy them from a guy in China, I send him an email with what watches we like and he says if he has them and how much......I've ordered over 50 watches from him and only 1 was flawed which he replaced quickly.....

Planning on placing an order any time soon? I want to grab a panerai luminor marina..

Re: Watch Aficionados?

Kind of liking this Seiko manual, but I think they are close to $2,000 still.
