As you say, the plexi is rather good. The fixed bezel was slightly disappointing, but I liked the overall look - there's a slight upwards tilt to it, which works rather well. Tried to get a shot of the plexi; not sure I succeeded.

One of my current B&Rs...whats the price of one of these?
This thread could cost me some money. That is really nice. Never paid much attention to vintage line before but the bezel makes all the difference.
A great looking B&R but what a pity about the fixed bezel. I checked the size and it is 41mm excluding crown. It suits that case size as the sub-dials are in perfect proportion with the rest of the dial.
I like it! That's a winner for me... not sure that I need one though, already have a speedy :/
I'd been keen to see the non-chrono version of this with same bezel.
I really like the Vintage lines Bell & Ross have, the raised crystal really sets it off.
Yup, another winner from B&R! Can't wait to see one in the flesh.
Love it. I was really glad B&R started with the vintage collection.
Much better then the square collections

Actually kind of like the raised 'plexi,' but apart from that ...
Come on...isn't it ALL about the plexi... :)Originally Posted by WatchScout

Saw one of these in the WoS shop in Terminal 1 at Heathrow a few days ago. It looks really nice compared to most of the other Bell & Ross stuff, don't really get the square cased look. Was surprised at how reasonably priced it was also but can't remember what it was - sorry!
Michael.
I really like that. v.nice
Actually like that a lot. Also nice that the date is horizontal rather than slanted.
A great looking, nice sized watch. Pity about the fixed bezel though. A rotating bezel allows a chrono with 2 sub dials to time elapsed hours - a very useful feature.
The vintage JLC chrono has the same failing. What are they thinking? At the prices they charge you'd think they would do it right...
Like that, and guess I'm going to have to get used to round date windows.
That is very nice, would be interested to know the price on one of these.
I'm guessing it will be around the £2,950.00 figure, in line with the others in their 126 vintage range.
These look very nice, I hope our AD has these soon, they did not take any of the new BR02 Phantoms last year, which was a bummer, as I wanted to see that as well.
Looks great but again looks like yet another 30 min only chrono so its a no from me. Put a complication in it to make the counter 60 min and add a rotating navigator bezel and it would be a very big yes please.
To me, with it's fixed bezel and domed plexi it looks very similar to a Speedy Pro, and the previously suggested price of £2950 is correct, not far off in price. Does it use a DD module?
After a little research I've found the MSRP, at least on a bracelet in the USA, is the same as the Speedmaster Pro. The B&R uses the ETA 2894-2, which is a 2892A2 with a module to add the chrono function. Oh well...
Why'd you get that when you can get a Speedy Pro for the same money? That's clearly "innovated" while looking at a Speedy. It has a date though, which could sway someone.
Good looks but IMO pretty average overall against the other B&W models...
That's the first thing I thought when I saw it... a Speedmaster Pro "homage" - would rather have the real deal thanks.
