If you claim the watch at the border (if you pick up down south) you'll pay GST on the cdn exchange rate of the price.
If you get it shipped you'll pay alot more as you include the brokerage. If you need it shipped see if they have usps option, otherwise if they use ups, FedEx, get them to ship expedited and pay a little more as expedited or next day includes brokerage and fees, while ground or standard shipping to Canada from us doesn't.

And they actually have started to use sapphire glass over their mineral crystals.

- Sapphire glass is more scratch resistant that mineral.
- Mineral crystal is more shatter proof than sapphire.
Personally, I'm more concerned about everyday scratches than I am about shattering my glass as I take good care of my things.
I believe mineral glass is the kind you will find around your house. One thing I am definitely unclear about is whether one has better visibility than the other.

^ great point, however, due to the fact it's solar power now, i don't mind it at all.
in fact, when i have 12 watches to rotate, i do find it a pain in the butt when i have to adjust my automatic.

I've been thinking of getting a Bell & Ross BR03-97 for some time now. I've tried it on before and seems like BR03 is a better size for me than the BR01. What are some of your thoughts on their watches in terms of quality etc.?

I love the B&R look, but I could never justify the price tag for its movement ( not in-house movement ). But if that doesn't matter to you ( and for most, it doesn't ), I'd say go for it. They're VERY distinctive, in a good way.
Oh, and B&R should have room for negotiation

Rolex, Patek, Jaeger, A Lange Sohne etc. come to mind. Then there's avant-garde brands like MB&F, Urwerk etc. Even Panerai is pushing in-house movements now.
But you're right... to most, it really doesn't matter.

I love the heritage as well, very nice choice and distinct for sure. Quote:

Oh, and B&R should have room for negotiation | Started looking around at watches recently and am really loving the different quality of time pieces. The B&R look is definitely very appealing to me and I don't know enough about all the movements yet so more about the distinct look to be honest.

Post pics once you get it =).

For those of you with blue collar jobs. What do you wear when you are on the job? I have stretched out my steel bracelet to the point that the watch slide up and down my wrist way too much. Just replace the bracelet with a leather strap. Really liking the look on the leather strap on my one and only watch lol. I don't want to stretch that out too..... Or should I look for another watch that's more suitable for physical activities?
