Definitely the 2 on the left B&R. Breitlings is my top list on "Those I want to like but can't". Same goes to Panerai but last week, I met a guy with a Pan and his looked great!

Wow two pages of rec's already! You guys are the best. I'm also surprised by the overall Bell&Ross interest. I really know nothing about the brand, but it seems like they are worth their weight.

I almost spit my coffee out at the Breitling Emergency Mission reference, and the Tom Cruise rebuttal lol

My daily work-piece:




I'll most likely go with the Bell&Ross with the black strap and simplified complication face. Thank you all again! Made a difficult decision much easier!

I just read today that B&R doesn't make their own movement? They buy it off of someone else?? Is that true?

Scott,
That's correct. They use a very widely used & Pretty economical ETA movement. It's very reliable though.

McLaren doesn't make their engine in the F1 either, Mercedes-Benz does. Doesn't bother me in the slightest

But you won't find the F1 engine in any other mass produced car, and that's the issue I think people have. Idk, just a guess. Also for several grand, a custom movement is expected.
