      Thanks Snowy, but AFAIK I think it's harder but not necessarily stronger. If I remember the thread in WUS, the problem has been around the areas that the wire lugs secure into the case to be specific.

        The harder something is the more brittle it is. The right strike in the wrong place can cause problems for ceramics.

        Think it, be it.

          Thanks guys. I'm a little nervous about dropping £4k on it now. Especially as it would be daily wear and I'm a bit clumsy (a few knocks on my Bell&Ross).

          That SnowFlake looks nice.

            By all means, do some research but that is just what I've read. ymmv!

                    Keep thinking about that Speedy. Does anyone know of something similar (looks wise) for half the price or less?

                                    And it's smaller sidekick, the BR-o3 B-Rocket. I don't consider them ugly in the least. I think you'd have to see them up close to really view the details and simplicity. I also own two Dogue De Bordeauxs or French Mastiffs, which most think are one the ugliest dogs ever produced. In hindsight, perhaps I do have a taste for things with such repugnant appearances to the point they are considered kinda cool. ;-P

                                    I'm cool with that!  😉

                                      This might be a really strange observation, but it drives me crazy when I see the lug screw heads not symmetrical on watches like Bell and Ross and Hublot.

                                          They should use an Allen type screw so it's not as obvious. I hate that shit on a watch that expensive. 15K on a Hublot and that's the level of detail they put into it? No thanks.

                                            That's something I never notice on my own, but as soon as someone else points it out, it drives me nuts.
