...Well, what can I say?!
This is simply stunning and the perfect partner to the BR02 CF dial in my opinion and a great alternative to the OEM rubber.

This is the Black Kevlar (white stitch) by B&Rbands, thanks to Ron for a fantastic strap and brilliant customer services as usual. I’d also like to thank fellow BR0, Gabe, for inspiring me with his recent review of the same strap, but with black stitch- CHEERS Guys!!!

So on with the show!


• 6mm holes to fit original buckles.




…works beautifully with the steel case and buckle
• Takes 24mm buckle.




…I wanted the white stitch to contrast with the black strap but to match the dial.


…two keepers, one floating


…rubberised feel and repels water, brilliantly!


• Painted edges.


…great fit
• 6mm holes to fit original buckles.




…perfect partner

A few wrist shots…

• Durable nylon strap with Kevlar style finish.


• Padded strap 4mm thick tapers to 3mm.


• Fully leather lined.


• Measures 125/80mm.


• Contrast stitch for sporty look.

Thank for looking and many thanks to Ron, for this great strap.

Purchased what really is a reasonable "grail watch" to me as I've always had a thing for carbon fiber and titanium in watches.

Very excited for my BR03-51 to get here! My "local" AD (Chicago area) originally sold it new and recently took it back in on trade towards another watch... Took a trip down there and it was in great shape.

I'm sure I'll be searching/asking for info on straps and whatnot, this seems like THE place to find anything Bell & Ross related- a great resource for any new owner.

Wrist shot once it arrives!

I will say it again, as I know I've mentioned it before, but this has to be one of the most comfortable models and best shaped in the Bell & Ross range.
The PERFECT 'tool' watch.





...such a great shape.
Its the first BR02 in steel that I have, four models in Carbon owned, one chrono, so this is the first with numerals, as opposed to markers (pro dial).
I had to have that CF dial!

I love the different font style of this model, and fancied a Carbon Fibre dial.
The detail is amazing, and the different colours and refractions, is great.





....the shape curves around the wrist with precision and flatters, especially on the thinner wrist!





The BR02 Rubber, is possibly the 'best' strap for this model, although I will try my hardest to find an alternative!




Some great details on the case, especially the crown detailing and not to forget that '&' logo on the case back!




...on for some wrist shots:







Again, very comfortable and a great alternative to the Carbon models.



as previously mentioned, hard to find a more comfortable strap for the 02, OEM Rubber.



GREAT overal wrist presence.

...next to capture that LUME shot (which is fantastic)!!!

Recently acquired a Commando, BR 01 Chrono. Really enjoying the watch.
I have often found with watches, leather and rubber are not comfortable but stainless and nylon are.

I'd like to add some color variations to my BR 01.. Maybe a red or blue nylon strap..

I need to know though, how do I order? size, etc?

I find the OEM nylon strap fits me if I run it in through the buckle and then out (covering the BR logo on the clasp).
Another strap in the same size would be great.

I also like the thickness of the OEM strap. That it's wider than the lugs.

can someone please make some recommendations on where I can buy some quality after market nylon straps and what size.

Thanks. ]]> Straps B-Line http://www.br-avo.com/forum/showthread.php?3506-Straps-for-BR-01-94S-(commando)
