This came in from Hong Kong just in time for the weekend... Thought I would get something a little different from the recent run of Marina Militares (those are on the short list) I have always been "intrigued" by B&R watches, but not at the price for a watch with a basic movement. I would, on the other hand, buck up for a PAM. Someday, once the current market dislocation ends. This recently popped up on the auction site and was listed as a sterile dial Marina Militare.

The movement is listed as "automatic"- I'll see how it runs over the next couple of days. Leather strap is OK. It also came with a rubber strap with BR markings. Fit and finish is decent, 47mm. No lume.

First impression- fun watch at a good price point that will definitely get noticed.

A couple Q&Ds...

Thanks guys. I put the rubber strap on today- much beefier and a lot more comfortable. Pics when I get a chance...

Very nice.  It reminds me of that DeBaufre model which I realize is am homage to some other watch, a Bell and Ross I guess?

P.S. I love HOHOs too.
