Been waiting to pull the trigger on a B&R for about 6 months, stalked the forum and chose Trusty Time based on the reviews and selection. Finally decided on a Horulum V2 from Trusty Time but made the rookie error of choosing a model that’s sadly been discontinued years ago!

Andy was very quick to reply and suggested trying a newer model so have just ordered the B&R bronze diver (July 22) in green. Positive experience so far with TT

Will update when I get more info and have pics but fingers crossed I get it some time early in the new year (or sooner) and I hope it helps anyone thinking of ordering a B&R bronze diver as I have not seen many on here

QC pictures arrived and as I have given green light I hop it’s ok to post them here to help others thinking of buying theirs in future. I’m impressed that all lines up, keeps good time and serial number matches model number (unlike some other reps I’ve seen)

Also forgot to mention I believe the gen was limited to 100 pieces and only sold in a specific retailer in Singapore called Cortina and the watch is the Demiurgus edition. So unlikely to come across another one in the wild

Just received it today, wow what a watch I’m shocked at how amazing it is. Great service from Andrew will definitely be using him again!

Watch came extremely well packaged, also came with an extra ribbed B & R rubber strap as gen along with the strap tools (hex keys)

Leather strap is gorgeous and extremely comfortable.

Watch wound ok very smooth setting the time and date.

Bezel only rotates anti-clockwise (not sure if gen is unidirectional or not?)

Date wheel looks to be dark green or could be black depending on the light and angle, was worried about it being black and looking black but shouldn’t have worried!


Can’t wait for the patina to start developing
