Here’s mine. It glows very well. One of my best lumed watched out of the factory.
As you can see, orange lume as well. But it fades quickly. Still visible at night, but barely.

B&R Diver 2017

if you look at @3 and @9 dial index seems that inner is a bit desalinned. What do you think guys?!

I think it’s just the angle.
You can ask for a straight shot of the dial.

Hey guys,

Anyone know if there is stock for the Diver black at the moment, and do all the TD's sell the same watch? Did anyone order this watch lately?

Different from other watches that I bought, there is never a factory/maker mentioned in the name on the TD's websites. There are TD's two versions, one for 318 0r 328 USD and one for 298 USD.
I assume that the cheaper one the first version is without the lume on the hour hand, am I correct?

Where do you usually buy? As different td’s name the factory. Especially when it’s gf, noob etc.

I don’t know who has the black in stock. But trusty has a blue diver on sale currently. (And some more models)

They all should have lume. No matter which factory.
In qc, look for date alignment.

Till now, I ordered with Lucy (Truetime168) and Francis - MrTimeZone (no TD anymore). I can ask if they have ordered the watch before and what's the best in their opinion.


I did a comparison of 3 dealers:

On the PureTime website, there are 3 Divers black, one from OXF and two without factory but one of the two has a V2 indication:

1. https://puretimewatch.io/br-03-92-di...e-leather.html OXF FACTORY - 298 USD (free leather) added 13 oct '18 / green lume
2. https://puretimewatch.io/br-03-92-di...lon-strap.html NO FACT. NAME - 318 USD (free nylon) added 15 dec. '17 / green lume
3. https://puretimewatch.io/br-03-92-di...-strap-v2.html NO FACT. NAME - V2 - 318 USD (free nylon) added 26 june '18 / blue lume

InTime has two Divers black on the website:

1. https://www.intime05.co/bell-ross/55...e-leather.html NO FACT. NAME - 298 USD (free leather) / green lume
2. https://www.intime05.co/bell-ross/43...lon-strap.html NO FACT. NAME - 328 USD (free nylon) / green lume, NOTE at the site: The lume color has been updated, and the watch has been released

TrustyTime has also two on the website:

1. http://www.trustytime01.cc/index.php...ducts_id=19312 NO FACT. NAME - 298 USD (free leather) / green lume
2. http://www.trustytime01.cc/index.php...ducts_id=18115 NO FACT. NAME - 328 USD (no free strap) / green lume


At first, I assumed that 2/3 at PT are from the same factory as 1/2 from IT website and that 2 from IT is the V2 but then the lume would be blue also.. Or it's just a bad lume shot. Bit confusing.

I‘m confused Pat. I have had both the one with black bezel and the one with a ss bezel. Not sure which factory. Both came with steel Allen wrench tools (black plastic also available). The dialprint one the ss diver was a little more fat whilst the date fond is a little smaller. But.. the AR and lume on de SS version is way better. So If if we’re you I’d go with the same factory as the ss bezel one.

Ps: I sold the black bezel one as I was disappointed how it looked on my wrist. Later I regretted it and ordered a ss bezel one. And find this one so much better looking. Downside, I don’t think there’s a gen one with ss bezel. Let’s call it a custom order. Haha

Does anyone know if this has been repped in all black yet?
I know B&R are not the most prominent in the rep field but this is a delicious looking watch.!

Sure... just make sure when you order the normal diver to check “add matte black spay paint” for an additional 10 bucks....:megalol:


Sorry for the laugh buddy. But no, there’s no all black version available. We couldn’t even get a bronze one repped, despite the interest.

But... laughs aside. Maybe it is a idea to use plastidip to paint the watch black. I think it will look pretty good but I imagine the durability is not great. However, plastidip is easy to remove again.

This is a ceramic case as well as ceramic bezel (with amazing lume!) that hasn’t been repped yet. I got the blue stainless version and loved it so much I bought the matte ceramic gen. It’s slightly lighter and an amazing watch!
