This watch is just far too nice for what I paid for it.

Great watch Duff, its really got that Bell&Ross look to it and seems like Seiko modded it right in the factory!

Actually I think it's a homage to the Sinn UTC 3 hand. If you look at Robert's chrono it is almost the spitting image....we won't say COPY!!!

B&R and Sinn used to have a relationship (basically Sinn made their watches) and so it does look like certain models from each. Seiko appears to have reacted to Yobokies modded version of a 7s from an 007 case that is EXACTLY like that one. Either way, its a great looking watch with a very nice movement in it IMHO.

Thanks for enlightening me on that one Robert. I'm not familiar with B&R at all because the only models I've ever seen from them are square cased and that doesn't do much for me.

The square ones are more recent models. Older ones are more traditional Flieger and Chrono models that often remind folks of Sinn, O&W, etc.
I agree about their square cases BTW.
