Bell & Ross BR03-92 Diver - Thoughts?

What are your opinions on this model?

I understand Bell & Ross may not be a well liked brand on here, but a BR03-92 was my first expensive watch and loved it. Probably the only watch I regret selling even after having a few Rolex's, Omega's and Panerai's.

Seriously considering it especially since the resale on them is terrible and you can get them on the second hand (or gray market) for a pretty reasonable price.

What's the size? Always tough to judge how a non round watch will fit.

I used to hate them. Now that the hype has passed I'm starting to like them. That's a sharp looking watch!

You know, this is not bad. I never thought I'd say this about Bell Ross :-)

I don't like it as much as I like Oris but rectangular case is rare bird in horology for divers and it seems this brand seems to have solved such problems associated with rectangular case's water tightness
In this respect, good job
If I were in the market for this brand I would have opted this model as well
