Resurrect....I'm assuming you guys paid for EMS from Mary instead of waiting for Airmail, right? Looks like $96 altogether. I've been contemplating one of these, I might just do it now.
typography of numbers and indexes should be round ended on this BR 01-92 Heritage compared to others BR 01-92Was strolling on RWG and decided to purchase a BR01-92 Heritage Edition after seeing this picture:
I noticed the incorrect marking on the dial saying BR01-94, the dial markings being more of a yellow color instead of sand, and the possibly lighter leather strap, but decided to order it anyways since the price of $75 shipped (+5% Paypal fees) couldn't be beat.
I was pleasantly surprised to get this QC pic in my inbox:
As you can see, the dial has been corrected to BR01-92. The color still seems a bit too yellow, so I'm willing to bet it hasn't actually changed at all, it just happens to be a much better picture than the one from 2011.
Unfortunately, the back engraving doesn't seem to have improved at all:
icard:
(FYI - If you don't see it, the engraving is really shallow or maybe just etched, the hex screws seem smaller/fake, the "Quartz Movement" is incorrect as it should be an Asian 2813 clone, the spacing is non-existent in DONOTUNSCREW, and I have no idea what Miliary means)
I'll post some pics as soon as I receive it, unless someone on here decides to order it as well with the faster $30 EMS Express shipping and beat me to it.
It looks great!
big_raji what is the size of your wrist? And is it 46mm with or without crown? Thanks!

Hello Big_Raji... what size is your wrist? I am considering the BR01-92... I love the large faced watches. I have a Diesel watch which is a large round one and love it but I have such small wrists it looks huge on me. Thx
My wrist is about 7.25" to 7.5", depending on the day

Well, I've just ordered one too, and just received the QC photos. Still a 'Miliary spec' watch. Still want to know what that is--but just out of curiosity. You get what you pay for. My plan, if I can pull it off, is to put the dial (cut down if need be) in a better 42mm case. 46mm is just too big for me.
So I received my 'Miliary Spec' today, and I gotta say, for the money it strikes me as a bargain. The biggest surprise is the strap. It's very good! Absolutely no lume, and the numbers don't have that nice, thick, quality of the gen--or even of our $200 reps. The hands, too, are lighter in colour than the numbers, but again: it was cheap. As far as I'm concerned, I got a bargain. Hey, it even ticks! Now I'm going to see if I can put the dial in a 42mm case and have it look reasonable.
