New Watch.

Shame no one in Stoke can afford a breitling

I'm from stoke and have just ordered a Bell & Ross. Look them up smart arse!

because no £20 watch will withstand diving/kyaking.

Andy, i think the Blue-detailed Chrono that you chose looks bloody-fantastic.

be sure to post pics when it arrives. alternatively, you could send it to me to take pics of...

nice one

Timex Ironman Triathlon.

Saw one, bought one, smashed it! It didn't like water or rocks - especially at the same time

I did the same actually, the modern rubber coated ones are nothing like the old ones, which are much stronger.

On a related note, I caught a wall with my Citizen Eco-Drive the other week, dead annoyed, I felt it scrape too, lots of little scratches and chipped glass.

Check the web and other unmentionable sites under watch restore kits mate - dead annoying isn't it

I know Bell & Ross make good watches, but the name and logo design makes them look like a company who makes fridges and freezers

Or is that just me......

What do you expect a watch brand logo's lettering to look like?

Something like this?:

A little bit of wee just came out

Are you aware that the watch you have purchased is not suitable as a diving watch.
10 ATM/100 metres water resistance is only suitable for swimming.
If It leaks on a dive,I doubt They would honour the warranty.

Unless you mean pool diving,but even then they could argue that it is not rated for that.
I would ring them up and ask them what the score is.

Hi mate - yeah fully aware - just sick of buying cheapish watches and getting through 3 or 4 a year wanted something a bit more robust generally and a bit different. It won't be used for diving but will for everything else.

I use this as my dive watch:

Got it from a mate currently serving. Water Proof 300M/ 998Ft. Navy/ Marines/ SBS issue apparently.

And one of these:

Always liked the BR-01 Series from Bell & Ross so I thought I'd treat myself

I cant really see how the BR-03 is any good as a dive watch. How would you time a dive or any stronger when smashed against a rock.

I dont really like B+R I supose it is because i dont get what they are about.

I would'nt want a £2000+ watch anywhere near jagged rocks thanks

When it comes to diver's watches, believe me, bell and ross know what they are on about....11,000M anyone?:
