How much is the price of the gen br03? Around usd2000 right ?

Little more than that.

About $2,500 for the basic silver w/ black face & white numerals-hands.

Authenticwatches.com has the best everyday price at $2,575 (retail is $3,400)

The black face / blue numerals-hands is a bit more at $3,170 from a retail of $4,200
http://www.authenticwatches.com/bell-ross-br03-92-carbon-blue.html

The khaki green is reasonable at just under $3,100 (retail $4,500)

I am real close to buying a gen. Getting impatient.

Got a Hysek from Lucy today (see my review http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php?t=164876)

I wrote her today and asked if she's heard anything new.

Still nothing. Spoke to Lucy over the weekend. Still nada. Almost ready to buy a gen. They are on sale at authenticwatches.com. Cheapest price I've ever seen but still too much for an over the counter movement.

Ohh to bad. :( I would also buy a gen if I wasn't a college student. :) It's not about the movement, it's about how it looks! Go for it mate! ;)

The commandos are the grey colored BR01/03 models much like the phantoms are the all black colored models.

Here is an example:

Looks nice actually! I wish it has number 3 instead of date window. :/ It would look better IMO.

Can you believe this thread? There is a LOT of interest in these B&R's.

Hope people who make the decisions to build are paying attention!

I still don't know why the BR03 reps are still so bad. They still use the bigger case for ETA 2824/DG 2813 movements which are really inaccurate. Now with an Asian ETA 2892 clone available, and a 9015 miyota that uses the same hands as the DG 2813, they can make a perfectly accurate case.

They CAN, but do they want to make it? :D

I think we should try what I mentioned few pages before. To make a list of interested members like it's done for AP Schumacher and few other watches and see if it's going to change something. Looks like there is many interested members in this watch and it would be too bad we don't see this watch in production ever again. :/

So who's in? :D:

I don't think a list can help our situation.
I think what matters is what is in the minds of all those factories owners.
What they think is trending or something.

And clearly, B&R has never been a big seller. Maybe history shows that. And the costs they need to prepare for making a batch of B&R is not that far from the costs to make a batch of AP diver.
