This watch is the Limited Edition (500 units) original Skull & Crossbones “Death From Above” Skull Airborne Bell & Ross br01-92 (46mm) from around 2009. It is the first of the “Skull Series” from B&R.***Notes on Condition:This is a one-owner watch (purchased new) that has been worn a few times; the PVD case appears free of any significant scratches, dings, gouges... (photo o...f orig. purchase receipt from Geneva Seal on demand). The bill of sale (11/2009) shows that the watch retailed for $5, 000. I have not seen many for sale on the secondary market!The original B&R leather watch strap has some creasing, the buckle condition is good. The secondary cloth/nylon strap is unused.The box/ packaging has 3 parts: 1) the outer white sleeve - my dad wrote “Death...” in ball point ink and there is some edge creasing; 2) the outer thick dark cardboard sleeve is in good condition; 3) the watch box/case has leather cracking on the flap crease (see pic).
***Notes on pics:Glowing pic is a stock photo to illustrate the lume. The Rolex GMT is pictured for scale and is not included in this sale :)If there are any questions about condition or anything else PLEASE let me know. I have many more pics from every angle. Fwiw I generally respond very quickly.
