Good afternoon, WatchEx! First for today, a stealthy chronograph from Bell & Ross: the BR126 Commando. B&R has a knack for making great chronographs. While they might be better known for square watches, their round cases are really where they excel in my book. The BR126 line has long been a favorite of mine (the 126 GT spent a good few years on my wrist), and if you've followed my account for any stretch of time, you'll know I have a soft spot for blacked out watches. The 126 Commando does stealth right - monochromatic while still not being impossible to read at a glance. The matte gray dial offers good contrast to the raised black markers, and the lume (while not elite) certainly aids in the evening hours. It's a comfortable case design, though keep in mind that Bell & Ross have a knack for longer lugs. At 41mm, this does wear a little larger than you might expect. The OEM rubber strap is nearly new, and the watch itself is in excellent condition - there are scarce spots around the bezel (where the top meets the sides) where the finish allows some metal to shine through. Crystal/lugs/etc are otherwise very clean. Quick Specs: - Reference: BR126-94-SC-17688 - Stainless Steel Case, DLC Coating - 41mm Case - 50mm Lug to Lug - 22mm Lug Width - 14mm Thin (including box sapphire crystal) - 10atm/10pm Water Resistance - Sapphire Crystal - Movement: ETA 2894 (BR Cal) - 42 Hour Power Reserve - Watch only - no original box/paperwork - Very good condition - no major marks/flaws. Bezel has some "shine" to it on the edge where the top meets the sides, but there aren't chips/dings in the finish.

Retail price was more than. 3x higher (sold out), but B&R typically have a fairly inflated MSRP to begin with. Price is shipped/insured within the US (UPS 2-day/FedEx 2-day) international shipping available at buyer's expense (typically not more than $50.) Zelle preferred, PP F&F or wire are also accepted. Tons of references on here, hundreds more on various reputable watch groups on Facebook. Sale heavily preferred, will consider trades around the $1.5k mark - trades with cash going either way will also be considered. Thanks for looking - Cheers!
Estimated Private Party Value $1,500 — $2,000
