Is the deployant issue a design thing or just a faulty part issue? Incredible if it's the former! Agree, it seems crazy money - the bracelet looks quite cool, rubbish deployant aside, and I like the minute/hour hands design but everything else is pretty meh (and the vast expanse of bezel(?) metal on the four corners really doesn't do it for me).
Detritus-
It’s poor design as far as I can tell. The two halves wobble a bit when you push them. It also just doesn’t look good - it either needs to be absolutely perfectly flush, or just accept there’s a join there and bevel the edges.
The whole thing is desperately trying to look expensive and ends up looking cheaper than their £2500 watches.

Sorry for going from the sublime to the ridiculous, but I just checked out that new Bell & Ross. It is - and I cannot emphasise this strongly enough - absolutely not a four grand watch. Nothing about it lives up to the (£3990) price tag. It’s too thick, the movement is a Sellita with a custom rotor, the brushing is very average and the clasp doesn’t close flush. Hard pass.
