: how do you like your bell and ross?
I love the Bell and Ross.
Although it is not chronometer certified, it has for three years, kept better time than the SMP. The styling is quite classic. It sits very well on the wrist with its domed cryatal in spite (because) of its 17mm thickness. The movement is a modified Valjoux 7750. In all due deference to Georges posting, I believe that it is based on the same movement as the Omega caliber 1151 that powers many Omega Speedmasters (non-Pros). Although this is an Omega forum, I have been completely satisfied with the Bell and Ross, and am also considering one of their Geneva models for my next choice (though I did not include it in my first posting above).
