I heard he's been very busy lately, maybe it's not a good time to try and get in touch with him.

Here is mine...somewhere in Turkey, changed the leather strap for a rubber one from a BR01
I managed to lose a strap screw tough, I doubt the dealers can send me one :(

To those who own one: make sure to tighten the side screws very well ! they have little thread and are very short

Let me relive this topic.
I'm going to get one of these Reps. :)

Question: now that Louie is out of the business where would you order it from, considering it needs to land in EU? (Precisely in Hungary, but I can also pick it up in the UK.)
PureTime? https://puretime.io/br-03-93-gmt-ss-1-1-best-edition-black-dial-on-black-leather-strap-a2836.html
InTime? https://www.intime03.co/bell-ross/4032-br03-93-gmt-ss-black-dial-42mm-on-rubber-strap-a2836.html
or WatchStation? http://watchoutlet.io/watches/bell-...-black-dial-on-black-leather-strap-a2836.html

​​​​​​​+1: are they indeed the same version/factory as they seem like?

Thanks in advance for all your comments or advices.

Is this watch now only (very rarily i'd guess) available through m2m? After reading about LocoLouie that's the impression I get. It'd be greatly appreciated if somebody could confirm that, or if I'm wrong where can I buy one or the next best? I see this model on TD's but I presume it's not the same as reviewed in this thread?

Thanks

It is all the same model.
I got mine from Intime. Any TD will stock it.

I have this. Great rep and keeps amazing time but I’m actually thinking about letting it go. Have an extra orange croc strap as well. Anyone interested in having me reserve it for them before I list it for sale?

I might be interested, what would you be asking shipped to EU?

I have greatly enjoyed this watch for almost two years. It was this review that got me interested in B&R reps. But today I’m hoping for some good news from you guys. Just the other day the winding stem had broken from the crown. The winding stem itself has fractured. Can the watch be repaired? Is it possible to replace the winding stem? Do I trust just any watch shop to work on it? Or, if I’m feeling brave, is it possible to buy parts and do the operation myself? Any advice is appreciated.

You need to buy a new miyota 9015 stem, remove the old one from inside the movement, cut the new one to the correct length and install. Any watchmaker should be able to do this.

Will look into a suitable watch maker here, and possibly search for the part. Thanks Kilo
