Hey people!!
It's been a while since I posted anything here Very Happy
I remember in one of the previous posts, one of the members was showing a beige dial 01-92.
Was wondering if this is a standard colour (non LE) as I don't seem to find it on the B & R site.
The closest one is the white dial.

Is the beige dial a limited production line?

I saw it at an AD today and it's looking more and more appealing to me...might pull the trigger on it Wink

Mincuss4- I used to have the BR01-92 white dial, which in fact was more of a linen/cream colour.
was a great watch, gone but not forgotten!!!!! Wink Wink

Hey Simon (dapper strapper or the strap whore..LOL)
How have you been? How's the strapping comin along Wink

So i guess the white dial that's on the BR site is in fact a white/beige looking dial instead.
Don't see too many of those around....

Yeah might go back to the AD again to have a closer look...if the deal is right...you'll never know...hehehe Laughing

BTW is it possible to know in what year the particular watch was made based on the serials?

Not doing too bad Simon Very Happy
So you planning any purchases to add to your already superb collection? Wink

Was asking bout the year of make, coz just wanted to find out how to determine as to how long certain BRs has been lying around the AD stores.

As the longer it is sitting in the store before it is bought means when the new owner purchases the watch, the interval to service would be shorter correct?

Also if that is the case there might be a higher chance of hairline scratches and the such with many ppl handling/trying the watch and all that...

here is another Cool





I highly recommend the white dial.
The white dial has the brightest lume in my opinion. When i wake up, the lume is still glowing.
After seeing simonc 01-92, i had to have one.
Never understood why he let it go Confused
