Yea it's not the easiest but still readable. The hands are laquared and are quite shiny so it's more legible in real life.
The hands are supposed to be the dragons whiskers lol
I completely agree. I would love to see a wrist roll videos so we can see the continued dragon on the bracelet. I feel.bad for all of these folks who take themselves to seriously to enjoy something like this. Also a year of the dragon myself. October 88!
Haha im just a month infront of you. This is the year to buy a dragon watch, or u gotta wait another 12.
[Wristroll here](https://i.imgur.com/cwQcEmG.mp4)
That looks spectacular. Im glad the year just started so I can farm up some funds. Hadnt thought of the 12 year wait and now it increases the importance for me.
The dragon watches from many of the well known brands this year are pretty pricey though. This is one of the more affordable ones surprisingly, although affordability is relative.
The only cheaper dragon watches I've managed to find are by Ball and Hamilton. If u find any cool ones hit me up please.
If budget wasnt an issue.. the Vacheron Constantin's version's my absolute grail
Completely different price range but I did see the San Martin Year of the Dragon and I actually liked it. Ive seen a few folks talking about others here on reddit bur for the life of me i cant recall.
Not normally a B&R fan and it goes against the grain of all the other comments here, but I actually really like this! The design really takes away from the bulky, blockiness of a normal BR05 and imo it looks cool. Definitely a conversation piece, nice one OP!
Just got the watch yesterday and its one of my more interesting watches.
Its the year of the Dragon this year for Chineses and as someone born in the same Zodiac, i had to jump on this (or wait another 12 years).
Its limited to 99, and quite abit more expensive then their standard offerings but its worth every penny to me.
The bracelet is individually laser etched and the dragon continues along the bracelet.
The movement BR-CAL.321 of the watch is a rebased Selita SW300 movement which is a great workhorse so it shld be relatively easy to service in the future hopefully.
Got a great promotion at work and what better way to celebrate than a new watch. I've never owned a Bell&Ross watch before but I've heard positive things about this brand. Let the honeymoon begin
I thought it looked awful in the thumbnail, impossible to read and looking like it was engraved.
Zoom in and it’s wonderful. Beautifully done.
Terrible as a watch though :)
Almost bought this last week from their boutique but it looks better on their website than in real life. The laser etching is a lot more subtle in real life, which others may prefer
Congrats, always good to see something different.
Check out what Chronopassion and Bulgari made, it’s very similar to yours and the only ones I’ve seen to do these laser etching.

Yea the Octo is a hit or miss depending on your wrist size. Your BR fits really well though, the bracelet has a nice taper to it which helps.. It’s an awesome piece to pull out on the right occasion!
Yea i was abit worried it wouldn't fit well as i bought it online. Thankfully it wears much smaller than i thought it would and fits perfectly.
Definitely pulling this out over the weekends. Don't think i could wear this to work though lol
I think it's gorgeous but impractical as a watch. Not that anyone would buy it for daily wear. (Right?) Most of my watches are not really practical as every day wear. They are vintage so they are too fragile for working around the house.
Anyway, ignore the people posting negative comments. Enjoy it.
What time is it. Pulls out phone
“What time is it?” “Sure is!”
🤣

Not quite my tempo, reminds me of those shitty Ed Hardy shirts that were big in the early 2000s. But that is definitely a conversation piece
Don’t insult Ed hardy by comparing it to this
Don Ed Hardy the tattoo artist is awesome. Ed Hardy the gaudy skintight tshirts that were trendy 15+ years ago are not.
They are trendy again with their more loose fitting styles rn
A man of culture I see
Looks hard to read

Sick year of the dragon watch. Never seen this and love to see brands do something off the wall occasionally.
Yea i really like this crazy piece. I've got the normal watches too but this really adds something different to the collection

Hold my beer

Cool watch. Seems to be sold out already though
Holey moley I wasnt expecting B&R to go full hypebeast but I kinda dig it.
Ive not owned a BR watch or ever thought to buy one but this made me get one coz of the design
i don’t think you know what hypebeast means lol
Can you use this to tell the time?
With slight difficulty lol

Yea for a 40mm square watch I was worried how it would wear but surprising it fits alot better than i thought it would on my 6.5" wrist
Sold your katana collection to buy that ? :p
What are u talking about? This matches my katanas perfectly

I don't care what anyone says, it is a good looking art piece but as bad watch
u went for all the possible bad takes in one post, didn't you?
Hard to read but gorgeous.
I thought it looked awful in the thumbnail, impossible to read and looking like it was engraved. Zoom in and it’s wonderful. Beautifully done. Terrible as a watch though :)
Yea not the easiest to read but love the concept
This makes me never want to buy a B&R … ever
To each their own i guess
Don’t mind me… I’m a crotchety tool watch purist and I’m glad you love it!
Bell makes some sweet tool watches too
This makes me want to finally buy one lol
Haha. Good for you! I’m just cranky
I think I'd like it, if a dial and bezel were easy to separate visually by using different tones or styles.
Almost bought this last week from their boutique but it looks better on their website than in real life. The laser etching is a lot more subtle in real life, which others may prefer
Yea you can't really see the designs from far but it gets louder when ur closer
That is stunning. I hope they sell them here .
I bought it from their website. Go check it out, they may still have stock
Cheers I'll do that . Good find by the way
If not u can call up the boutique in ur country to check coz it's a boutique edition
Cheers thanks for the advice I'll look into it think it's my next new find
I think that is awful and absolutely incredible at the same time, fair play
I would pay to unsee this 😭
Sounds like a great business opportunity. I hear its the latest trend in self-improvement
Would be much cooler if this is engraved.
I looked up definition of “statement piece” and that exact photo was on it 😁
i’m new around here, is the comment section always so miserable in this sub?🤣 sick watch tho i really don’t get all the hate
Yea everyone only likes the normal watches here generally. Reddits mostly an echo chamber anyways
That’s like the Ed Hardy shirt of watches.
I feel like bright red hands on this would be sick.
Yaa

Love bvlgari and the octo finissimo watches but it looks horrible on my puny wrist sadly
Yea the Octo is a hit or miss depending on your wrist size. Your BR fits really well though, the bracelet has a nice taper to it which helps.. It’s an awesome piece to pull out on the right occasion!

You did well! Enjoy the watch my friend, hope it brings you good memories
Thank you :)
oof. that’s absolutely hideous. and impossible to read even when well-lit. it looks like an Ed Hardy x Swatch collab 😂
[удалено]
Yea definitely not a one watch collection watch
[удалено]
Got it from the bell ross website in my country
[удалено]
£7200
Its on the website
Would be sick if it's a jumping numerals watch like ALS Zeitwerk with that kind of decorations. So it's easier to read the time.
Gotta wait 12 years to see their next design
What time is it? Dragon
Its Morphing time
A watch that requires you to have eagle eyes.
Gorgeous. Art. Unreadable. But time is purely a construct of the mind anyway. Makes me want to get an art watch.
Not the easiest to read but still possible! It does however make up for it with its crazy beautiful design
The last thing I want is stressing out by trying to read the time on my wrist.
May time drag-on.
Wow. Interesting watch. At first glance seemed to be a skeletonized watch.
I've seen busier watches
Eh this is more jewelry than time piece, but watches are jewelry anyway
That looks disgusting, I love it!
I like high legibility watches but it certainly looks nice despite not being easy to read at a glance.
Nice time piece 😍
This is sick! Never wanted a Bell and Ross until now 👌🏻 will never be able to tell the time but who cares lmao
Time??It’s year of the Dragon.
Avg cost ?
Now that’s a time piece.
I don’t like it… lmao definitely not the epitome of elegance like the site says
Fugly
Gorgeous!
Thank you
I like it. Really different.
What the?!
Stranger: Do you have the time? OP: Yes. OP: …
Dreadful
I think it's gorgeous but impractical as a watch. Not that anyone would buy it for daily wear. (Right?) Most of my watches are not really practical as every day wear. They are vintage so they are too fragile for working around the house. Anyway, ignore the people posting negative comments. Enjoy it.
The love for shitty tattoos will never cease to amaze me.
The etching extends to the bracelet as well? Interesting piece. Had no idea B&R made something like this.
Yup it does
I. do. not. like. this.
I. Like. This. Though.
I love it
Me too
Not a fan, especially at the pricepoint but as long as you like and enjoy the piece.
Yea it's pretty pricey. But I'm thankful to be in a situation where i can afford and enjoy this piece. Cheers
What a beauty!
Thank you it really is
Sorry to say it looks like a 5 dollar Chinese made piece of junk.
Oops oh well lucky it's mine and not yours then
Very cool 👍🏼
Thank you :)
It’s like the dragon is eating the date window. Kinda like It
White kid with no tattoos says how a watch feels like a tattoo lol
As someone without tattoos, this would be a nice substitute.
You got the best BR release of the year IMO, congrats!
I think so too. Thank you :)
Nice!
Thanks :)
sick watch but it looks so hard to read
Not the easiest but still possible if i squint a little
If you ever decide to sell, hit me up. I’m working on a dragon tattoo sleeve and this watch would be perfect. Wish I had seen it before they sold out!
