BR03's are non-existent! Does anyone have a source?

[300kph]

It's like they shut off the taps.

Sent 15-20 inquiries and just a lot of flat-out "No's"

None of these TD's could offer any info if we will ever see more.

Weird as someone has already invested money in making them. And they are all sold out. You'd think some factory would churn out some more.

Yet you can't swing a dead cat without hitting $200 reps of watches only millionaires would wear which makes so little sense. A good copy of a B&R seems more practical than copy of a U. Nardin or a Piaget.

Has anyone heard if there will ever be more made? Or if anyone knows a reliable source that might be sitting of a few stragglers let a guy know please!

WatchInternational over on RWG has a single old version 03-92 in SS/SS with the incorrect dial and caseback with 21J.

In about 1-1,5 months a new batch will be available.

Yea I had the same problem so to scratch that itch I got UBoat.

will this be updated releases or just a restock.?

i've been wanting a BR03-92 for a long long time. only thing that has held me back is the lume on these reps.

most of other rep brands have recently updated to at least have better lume or superlume. i hope b&r will follow suit!

i'm kind of a lume freak. all my current pieces have at least better then standard rep lume of yore.

I was looking for the same model and did not get in any TD... Finally bought a 01-92 in PT.

I would love the BR03-92 (Blue numerals and hands) but it gets pretty low scores.

Might just save up for the gen if they don't release an improved model with better lume and the major flaws dealt with.

The 03-92 blue really isn't that bad. The real giveaway is the Limited Edition printed on the dial which they copied from the orange 03-92.

 

[lildaddym]

I had forgotten that the 'Limited Edition' marking was NOT on the 03-88...

 

[two40]

Any updates?

 

[300kph]

I've heard nothing.

Perhaps a PM to one of the above B&R fans? Wht don't you drop them a line? Good rookie experience!

Then post back as I track this thread.

Wayne! I wish I saw this thread before meeting up with you for lunch, I would've brought my BR03-92 with me. :facepalm:

Next time I suppose. It's an SS with white numbers. Bought it on rubber, but have it on leather right now. Been meaning to get it relumed. It's non existent.

Speaking of re-lumes. I just got some pics from Kent Parks from my finished re-lume and waterproof of my BR 03-88 and 03-92 Orange. He took forever (4 months) and his communication is horrible, but the results look to be worth the wait... I can't wait to get them back in person!

 

[Nxt_vctm]

Wow, that orange BR-03 is awesome. Did the lume come with factory or is it a mod?

 

[lildaddym]

@scottie...that orange is tremendous! Too bad it's expensive AND takes forever! LOL

Thanks for posting Scottie. I love both of those. The blue lume came out really nice.

Mind me asking what he charges for a lume / waterproof job?

My fave is the BR03-92 with black case and blue hands / numerals. I bet that would "pop" after being lumed. I hear the standard rep is weak in the lume department.

Rumors and posts by longtime forum users say we can expect a new batch soon...

Anyone think we might see improvements on the re-issues when they get around to it, or will they simply turn the old rep-making machine back on an pump out a few thousand more of the "same as before"

About $175 for lume and waterproof.

At one point we saw some newer/better looking 03-92s pop up on one of the dealer sites (don't remember which). If I had to guess it will be the same old one though.

I think that's why we've been seeing all if the 03-92s coming with the 03-97 caseback. They were probably going though all of their parts inventory before making another batch.
