I was browsing absentmindedly when I saw this and for a second, I thought this was a Bell & Ross Vintage... Got excited but then I realized my mistake 😭

BobrazActually, this model predates the Bell & Ross heritage line. The differences are small IMO and Armand Nicolet is known to do the manufacturing for other brands, but no idea if that is true here. Is a Selita 300 vs 200-1 worth $1000 to yah?

chilofthehornActually, I think most (if not all?) 'non square' Bell & Ross watches are made by other manufacturers for B&R, in part or in whole. That's perhaps why the sharp drop in value on the secondary market. Do you think Armand Nicolet brands this exact same watch for B&R to be sold as the 'Vintage'? 🤔 The similarities are astounding, down to the seconds' hand! Of course, no, the difference in movements is not worth $1000 to me. But to be honest, the B&R name is more glamorous than Armand Nicolet. Given the choice, I'd definitely splurge for the former...

BobrazI think some B&R heritage watches have applied numbers and indices while others are printed like here on the Armand Nicolet (but it's a very 3 dimensional printing). The B&R dials I have seen some with this same finish and some with a slight sunburst. Scale, dials, printing, fonts, and every bit of that ceramic bezel insert looks the same. iDK if Armand Nicolet is manufacturing for them entirely or just sending them parts because DANG that is close!
