Well this should separate the wheat from the chaff! I tried one on a it was A. Massive and B. Very heavy!
Looks good but a bit silly as a watch! I 'Liked it'.....
Not any particular model just the range!

Always struck me as more than a little silly, but also trying a bit too hard to appear macho. I dunno, they seem to be a big thing in europe, but they're just not for me. My apologies if my totally subjective opinion offends anyone.
The black on black "stealth" version however, was just over the top enough to be sort of fun. But the going price was way too high for something that was essentially a novelty item.

I just can't get into this one. It's just the square face thing, I think: I've never been a fan of the square watches (yes, that includes the Monaco) and this one is no Heuer!
If someone gave it to me I would more than likely wear it and who knows it might grow on me, but I'm going to pass if it is my cash. |

I cannot believe that is comfortable to wear, looks like it was designed by an 8 year old with a ruler and a crayon, and costs a kidney!! Probably make a nice wall clock, but too small for that!! LOL

Sorry, these instrument thingies do nothing for me at all.
I do like some of B & R's output (when it was all made by Sinn for instance, and their space chronos with the Tutima-like flat pushers), but these - er, no.
Interestingly, if you imagine them slightly more manageable in size, and round, I think they could be a pretty sexy. IMHO
But as is, c'est la folie.
Cheers

| As Dave said, a nice wall clock. I've previously thought about buying on of those cockpit clocks from an old Mig fighter or similar. A bit of fun for the desk for about £100. That's the extent of the appeal though. |

| I like it in the time only version. when they started adding gimmicky stuff/ tourbillon, subdial nonsense they lost me. Also, for the price it's outta my league anyway. Maybe in a few years. |
