Bell & Ross?

The BR 03-92 42mm is really growing on me. I'm not very familiar with the brand overall, can any experts give me advice on purchasing this piece? Perhaps how hard to bargain for it, is it a big seller or not? Any authorized dealers or grey dealers that would give good prices on it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm particularly looking at the carbon version with with the white hour markers.

Chip (SLRDude) bought a B&R. Check out this link and if you search on all threads started by him, he's got another dealing with the lume.

I would say ask him how he likes his.

I have found good prices on alanfurman.com, but I would prefer to purchase from an AD with the solid warranty if the price is right.

I had lunch with Chip today and his B&R came up. I love his comment that it's so ugly, that it's cool.

I've been reading up on various B&R sites & forums and it seems that the PVD on the Carbon 03-92 seems to come off with scuff marks and serious scratches. Can anyone comment? Is the carbon really worth the price differential between it and the Steel version?

You're the only one can answer that question. If you have the extra $$$, then by all means. After all it is your money and you're the one who will be smiling every time you wear it.

That's true, I guess the real question is Bling V Stealth.

I wear a BR01-94 Phantom and the carbon has not come off. I am rough on that watch!
