It's here! It's here!
Man, this is one serious tool watch. Simple and direct. Clean lines. Beautiful fit & finish. I know the style isn't everyone's cup-o-tea, but I really like the the industrial, aviation cockpit design of the face. It's un-jewelry and definitely anti-bling!
A very refreshing change indeed.
It screams, "HEY! Here's what time it is! Now, GET BACK TO WORK!"
It comes in a black leather-covered box (sorry, didn't take any photos) that has a flap with snaps as the closure. Inside is the watch, wearing the rubber strap, a second tactical strap and two HEX tools (one straight, the other with an elbow) for changing out the straps.
But...I'm so glad that I got the BR03-92 that's 42mm and not the 46mm version. Even at 42mm, this is a serious watch. It's not heavy and it sits on the wrist well, but it's not tiny. Here it is on my wrist...
All in all, I'm really pleased with it for the hour I've had it now. The rubber strap is stiff but I expect that to soften up. The tactical strap has a clasp I haven't figured out yet, so I'll put it on later. I would like to see the screw heads lined up, from an OCD standpoint, but it annoys you for a minute and then the watch is just plain cool again.
Me happy!
