Here is the new Bell Ross BR03-93 GMT replica model. Some time ago, I did a review of this model, only that the previous watch came from another factory. We at AAAReplica are used to collaborating with different factories. That’s because they all have different replication techniques. Some of them are good at finishing. Others are good at executing details. So, we are always looking for factories that can combine both aspects.
This Bell Ross BR03-93 GMT replica watch comes from a factory that has a pretty good reputation for accuracy of execution. As a rule, this factory produces Panerai and Tudor imitations, with less focus on Rolex imitations. I think that this factory is already bored with Rolex knockoffs, given the fact that these watches abound in the replica industry.
Either way, this Bell and Ross is definitely better quality than the previous option that we had received from the factory’s competitors. The first impression I made about this watch is that it has a neat look and a very pleasant finish to the touch. If I intrigued you, stay with me in this article to discover more details.
Overall description
If you are familiar with the Bell and Ross collection, you probably know that this model is not exactly new. The brand has diversified its collection a lot since it produced this model for the first time in 2021. Personally, I am not the number one fan of Bell and Ross, but I must admit that this model has a specific and attractive charisma, despite the years on the market. Even if we are in 2023, its bi-color bezel from 2021 still looks fresh, trendy, and attractive. Speaking of the color scheme, the watch assumes a combination of black and red on the bezel, as you can see in the pictures. This combination is the most popular among bi-color bezels, which makes it up-to-date with the preferences of the audience.
If you are among the admirers of the square case, I think you must take a closer look at this model. Moreover, its price is very attractive, taking into account the accuracy and attention to detail that it offers. The advantageous price is actually explained by the fact that the bezel of the replica is not ceramic, as the authentic model implies. But if this is not a problem for you, this guy definitely deserves a closer look.
Sizes, proportions, finish, and technical details
Let’s delve a little deeper into the structure of the replica watch. The ratio between the diameter of the case and its height is very harmonious. We are dealing with a diameter of 42mmx42mm and a height of 11mm. This size makes the replica watch look sufficiently “present” on the wrist, but at the same time does not attract too much attention. So it is a very balanced proportion, I would say.
The square shape of this automatic watch does not allow manufacturers to integrate a water-resistant system for now. As you can imagine, you won’t be able to go to the beach with this imitation for surfing, diving, and similar activities. The manufacturers, on the other hand, make it clear that it would not be a problem to wash your hands or dishes under a moderate stream of water.
To be honest, I would completely avoid contact with water if I were the owner of this watch. This is because I would fear that the water drops could affect the internal structure of the replica watch, which would lead to possible rusting over time. So, the conclusion is that this Bell and Ross replica is a good option for daily wear when you want to easily stand out. But by no means suitable for activities involving water, humidity, or steam.
Though…
I don’t want to scare you. I hope you don’t make the wrong conclusion, such as that this replica watch is too fragile. Even if it does not have a screw-down mechanism, the manufacturers assure that they have integrated a gasket that protects the watch from contact with water. So, a few drops are not a threat to it. Simply put, I am very pedantic about watches and I would adopt all the protective measures to extend their life and aesthetics.
Do you remember when I mentioned factories that excel in finishing skills? It seems that the factory that produced this Bell and Ross is one of them. The finish of the case is very attractive on its entire surface. The corners are carefully and qualitatively processed, without traces of graining or imperfections. The position of the screws aligns perfectly with the watch’s corners, which proves the attention to detail.
Dial specifics
Let’s move on to a no less important aspect: the dial of the replica watch. The face of the watch looks expressive, with imminent hour markers and strong chromatic contrast. The 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock indicators come as large Arabic symbols, while the rest of the hour markers are bar-shaped. The minute indicators are available in the form of sticks, being slightly smaller than the bar-shaped hour markers. The hour markers illuminate strongly once the luminosity in the room decreases thanks to a dense Lume filling.
Apart from the hour markers, the dial of the replica watch offers an inner 60-minute bezel along with a GMT hand. The date aperture position is between 4 and 5 o’clock. It has a very modest size. It took me some time to find it on the dial plate. That’s because its frame is very small and is lost in contrast with the expressive markers on the dial.
Although the watch dial seems “full” and busy, I have to admit that it is easily readable. This is due to the chromatic contrast of black and white, which facilitates legibility. In addition, you can easily read the GMT function thanks to the red tip of the GMT hand. It indicates the time of the second zone on the bezel. At the same time, the date is easy to read because the frame has a white background. This one delicately contrasts with the black dial plate. So, even if the date aperture is relatively small, reading the date is easy and fast.
Curious about the movement?
I know you are. The technical aspect is equally important for me every time I deal with a new replica watch. The manufacturers decided to equip this imitation with an Asian ETA 2836-2 Clone automatic movement. I admit that it is not the best-performing movement for a replica watch. But it’s not the worst option either. This mechanism has a decent reputation. The truth is that I know how this mechanism works in simpler replica watches without GMT functions. They last well and are not associated with early failures. As for GMT watches, I don’t know much. But I hope it works as well.
Overall impression
This Bell and Ross is a good option to diversify your replica watch collection. If you are tired of standard, round, or rectangular cases, this square guy will add a splash of color. The watch is quite comfortable on the wrist and offers very good legibility. Its external appearance deserves applause, and I’m glad to see how the replica industry is becoming more and more skillful from an aesthetic point of view.
