    Bell & Ross BR-X5

    I haven't seen anything here about this watch. Does anyone own one?

    I'd say it's expensive, but not horrendously, when you have a watch with a movement that is seemingly manufactured specifically for the brand. Plus the case design is fairly intricate and unique. Be good to hear some opinions from any owners.

    Well that's a bit nice; slight North Flag vibe, which is apt given the movement. I'm a bit of sucker for that style of case too.

    I’ve just compared the images of the B&R movement against my North Flag and I’d be extremely surprised if this isn’t a rebadged MT5621 from the NF, it looks identical from the rear. And also the power reserve indicator which uses an arc of about 120 degrees to show its range. It’s a very good movement in my experience, I’ve owned my NF for about four years and it’s still running at about -1 sec/day.

    I like the look of the watch, particularly the case design. My only qualm would be the 3 day date aperture.

    Case is excellent - especially in carbon. Dial is a bit busy for my liking, but as usual finishing is pretty good with B&R

    Great review, very in depth. Sounds like you're a fan? Also, Francis and Gaye are brilliant. I wish they were nearer me!

    It was a really nice watch some great details to it,
    I believe if you call Ryan he may do better than 10%, could be worth a try
