BR02- A Classic Diver Wed, 13 June 2012 12:38 Go to previous message

So I finally pulled the trigger on this one and thought I'd post a review of my new 02.
First impressions of the 02, waaaaaaaaay comfy. The cushion shaped case is definitely big enough to show a presence on my large wrist, and finally, I get to wear it on a rubber as I had the presence of mind to make sure that I got it with the XL strap. This is one awesome strap!!

Was lucky enough to get the "full package" with the Pelican case

and all the goodies

I certainly love the attention that was put into the finish of the case. The brushed case top

Photobucket

with the polished sides is just a perfect blend of sport and elegance which this watch certainly has

You gotta love the crown guards!! And the rubber covered crowns are just fantastic!!

and crown boast the B&R logo

and what REALLY makes this watch for me is that dab of orange and the plongeur hands. My personal definition of a classic diver (sorry bout the dust on my lens)

Couldn't get a good charge cause of the weather, but this thing has an awesome blue lume too!!

If I would have one criticism it would be that it could have had drilled lugs to make strap changes a little easier, but that might have taken away a little from the look of the case. So no complaints here.

All in all, I just love it and haven't been this thrilled in loooong time!!! If you've been sitting on the fence on this one, all I can say is...............DON'T!
Thanks for viewing!!
