I think this thread needs a Rolex ban! Today it’s one of the first decent watches I bought about fifteen years ago. Somehow it’s survived many culls and remains in the collection, probably because it’s not really worth selling. It’s a lot of watch for the c.£200 they cost used.
Probably switch to something a bit blingier for going out later!
Is it aftermarket?

Nice, I love B&R stuff 
and the 46mm versions are rare beasts!
I regret not picking up a 01-92 when I saw one for half-price in a clearout sale years ago now, and the 'thin' minutes hand now on the 03-92 (as opposed to the original 'sword'(?) hands for both minutes and hours) does not appeal!
EDIT: Wait - your favourite B&R?
What other ones do you own?!
I also have an original Phantom (the black on black) and a red radar. and the 46mm versions are rare beasts!I regret not picking up a 01-92 when I saw one for half-price in a clearout sale years ago now, and the 'thin' minutes hand now on the 03-92 (as opposed to the original 'sword'(?) hands for both minutes and hours) does not appeal!

The Phantom version must be interesting to read at a glance... lol
I might have some spare cash this coming year. If I can find an 03-92 or an 01-92 that has good provenance and isn't a replica (the copies seem to be very good from the pictures I've seen), I might pick one up!
Do you have your eye on anything else from them?

I love that strap!
Is it aftermarket?
It’s a Hirsch Mariner. I think they’re only £30 or so but they’re great value and the quick release pins mean you can change straps in seconds. Is it aftermarket?
I think I might already have a Hirsch strap on one of mine but I do like the 'padded' look

I'd love a BR05 in silver/blue...
Interesting! They feel quite 'retro' to me, sort of Genta-inspired I've got a copy of the BR02 Pro Diver dial - really a very comfortable and unobtrusive watch to wear, despite the listed size, and excellent legibility. One more for the list of 'when I'm rich'...
lol

Hi CDG - sadly they have sold out, as everywhere seems to have. Should have bought a couple when I had the chance... Gassing Station | Watches | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
