Great looking watch I'm torn between this one and the green dial military version. I know the military version has a tell with the black DW.

how does it wear on the wrist? Is it comparable to Pam 44mm's and ap's?

Here is 01 (46mm model) on my 7,2" wrist:





and here are some other watches to compare:













Is it enough to compare? :D

Sorry, no 42mm model but hopefully I'll have it soon. ;)

You're probably seeing computer renders that B&R might have on their site. The real production model does:

I got the Military version and it's very nice. Just need the oem nato strap then it's good to go. Hardly any blue tint on the AR too and it's definitely not double AR. Only gripes are, crooked numbers on some dates and the poor lume on the hands.
Gonna get the Heritage as well soon.

Another update, GEN strap tools work but them screws themselves have a bit smaller diameter. The were a nightmare to get out (at one point I thought they might have been faux tubes with springbars). I felt like I was going to strip the screw, and even when I got one screw out, I needed to leave the tool and and bang it against the table to get it out.

After all that, I got both watches on gen canvas straps, which is where these watches shine. Especially against an ironic backdrop :)

Not sure about that. I haven't come back to Singapore yet so I can't ask the service center there. You should pm Scottie.

Btw, still rocking the BR. I must say I'm a complete fan of BR now. It's thin and wears well.

Just be aware guys that you can buy any OEM strap direct from BnR on thier eboutique site... I have seen some guys selling well over the costs of the actual straps...

you can buy direct OEM bars buckles and straps

nato and rubber are about 45 to 50 and calf about 80 and gator 200

or you can get aftermarket from BandRbands ...

Thanks

I personally think BR03 wears similar to PAM Luminors. AP 42mm Offshores wear slightly larger in my opinion. Rep AP's are also very thick(thicker than GEN). Obviously the square look/shape will not compliment every wrists out there.

Anyone noticed the BR03 s/s bezel size is larger than it should? I remember gen s/s bezel is very slim...

Also, can anyone comment on s/s version's AR ?
