Looks like a novelty watch. And probably costs $4k.

What are you saying?

you know me so well!

I owned a BR01-94 Phantom and this looks like a similar case... it is robust! Craftsmanship is great, and at $4000 it would be a steel, however, I think it will be more like $6k

I like it if only because it is unique, and that it shows Bell & Ross has higher hopes than to be just another cookie-cutter brand.

Cool, unique
BUT
I worry its their start down the Corum path going trendy....

I think it will be priced more than Id be willing to spend for it though.

If I didnt have a budget Id surely get one.

Too gimmicky. I'd rather have a Sinn. Are they still making the Bell & Rosses?

Nope B&R is a big boy all on their own now and
