BRERA OROLOGI MILITARE

Just Received it last week.......... Finally...

It's big + Heavy... 

My friend most memorable comment.... "Y Are U wearing Ur Wall Clock On Ur Wrist".. Heheheheh 

Yes... Agreed with Mr BikerVoodoo... It's Not about just telling time..It's Fashion Statement... Bling.. Bling...

Wow, tough and rugged  What's the diameter of the watch?

Case diameter 47mm, 51 mm with crown.

I think there may be a backlash against huge wristwatches for people older than 30, what's your say?

Meaning a lot of people who like mechanical watches but are perhaps a little more mature might go for 39-42mm watches, nothing larger. Watches which are a little more subtle and understated.

Hmm I think is up to personal preference. For me I would not consider less than 41mm, well that's just me. And I am above 30 

saw a BR01 Phantom today.. while i can't agree to the asking price, i have to admit these guys who came up with such a simple and distinct design the thumbs up.

i believe everyone would agree when i say you get more watch with the Omega Seamaster (decorated movement, similar quality if not better, and way better brand recognition to the general population) for your money than the BR01..but we would all agree the BR01 is unique..

bah, basically, i want one.

come on man... ppl talking about quartz here.... what kind of finishing here?
use a fashion brand such as DKNY, Kenneth Cole, EA, Diesel or a little known fashion brand as such above that use a quartz movement to make the argument statement.

yes there are much going in to determine the price of the watch not just the cost of the movement.
on top the level of finishing on the movement, on the case etc.. quality of leather, QC (testing/regulating) , marketing, brand recognition really? among those in the industry right? not with lay ppl walking on the streets..
U also forget the operating cost, labor (all the neat bonus the CEO/COO/CFO), R&D cost etc..
having worked in The States for a long time and now locally, U may get a tour of the Rolex facility. interview the Tom and d*** there to comprehend their justification. 

having working in US for sometime should teach U one impt thing, never just take it from blindly from anyone.. not even your MIT/Harvard Prof.
Human for crying out loud.. not God.
felt like listening to those grandpa... "been on the Earth for so long, just take it from old joe"

ck77: hahaha. so fast poison ah..i will get one for sure when i get enough bullets.. i checked out the BR01 homages, and nothing comes close to the real thing!

guess no choice lah. if the homages were convincing enough i could have convinced myself to settle for less. kakakakaka..

having the BR01 will make a bigger (physical) statement than any PP, VC, IWC etc. kakakaka. eh why your patek so small one, pay so much for so little watch meh

hi, i'm new to the thread. i've got a 3 rado diastar and a omega constellation all inherited from my grandfather. should be circa 1970's model. i've got 2 questions to ask dear sifus:

1. the omega constellation backplate (i don't know what it's called- i'm referring the piece of metal at the back that you remove to get to the engine ) is fixed to the body with screws. the screws have now rotted and rusted inside. attempts to open damaged the screw heads even more. do you know of any master who have the tools to open it? the screws are rather delicate. one shop has proposed to hack open the backplate and seal back with silicone later. well NO WAY for me!

2. minor question: is there any risk of breaking anything by over-winding the crown?

i will upload pics when i have the chance.

thanks. there is no major problem with my omega watch. still tells the time accurately. only problem is the needle hand dropped out. to remedy that, the case have to be opened, which is near to impossible now since the screws have rotted away. do you know if they have center in jb?
