I still like the Rolex better, not a fan of the case or the dial.

Not a fan. The square look doesn't do it for me. Looks like a toy watch.

B&R seem only to concentrate on the BR01/2 range. Their other model lines could do with some attention...
Cheers

Something appealing in them, I'm not sure I would ever buy one, but they are kinda cool, and different.

Exactly...the Swiss steal ideas from everyone! But I think Rolex really did beat them to the punch... Anyone got a pic?

The dial is too busy. The more simple dials don't look bad, but I think with that styple even a date is too much.

Hmm... Nope, I prefer the Rolex. I don't like the Bell & Ross' style.

i think that's a good looking watch, and i suppose those are meant to wear big - so it's all good in my books!
