I had a look around, a 1.5” square piece of fabric sold for $12.5k (£9.5k approximately) at the start of this year - interesting to see how that compares to your numbers.

From memory Bremont purchased something like 14 square inches of fabric - just a ‘fun fact!’

It’s an interesting point, that. After the Wright Flyer ‘debacle’ you could still buy the watch from AD’s at RRP if you looked hard enough, yet they were trading above RRP on places such as Chrono24...
Welcome to the forum, ZuluAlpha - thanks for sharing your watch and picture. It’s not everyday you get to take a wrist-shot at No. 10!

IanK, welcome to the forum - it’s good to have you.
Best of luck with the sale, I hope you’ll have no trouble, especially at a very reasonable price.

Hi Simon,
Welcome to the forum, and best of luck with the sale - the Waterman is a very cool and good looking watch!

Yes, I know exactly what you mean - and a hint of P-51 from the propellor caseback! It’s a gorgeous watch, I’m glad you’re enjoying it.
Maybe catch you at next year’s Townhouse? We’ve avoided...
Looking good, Tex! That’s a great his/hers combination.

I think this is the first - and maybe only - one on the forum at the moment, Mark? Congrats!
How are you finding it now it’s on the wrist, compared to at the launch/in pictures?

That’s a tad unfortunate - or not!
Here’s a fun fact, and something a bit interesting: the morse code ‘ident’ that it radiates is a ‘B’ - for Breitling, obviously! It’s how you can tell it’s...
It’s a hard one for me: as a brand, they were my first Swiss watch ‘love’ - back before Bremont was even around, that is.
The only models I would consider from them now are the Emergency and...
Here it is on my wrist - I took this at the launch at Basel, you can see my MB/TWG on the table behind..

I’ve always wanted to own an Emergency (should I admit that on *the* Bremont forum?)
The newer ones (Emergency II) with the dual 406/121.5 facility are incredible pieces of technology - I love...
I think you’ve got the pictures the wrong way around, Chris!?
Your ALT1-C/PB is absolutely gorgeous! I think the slightly softer polished case put people off the watch, but I think they’ve missed...
Hey, Welcome! I’m glad the picture that I posted on Bremont Fans FB made you take the plunge - you won’t be disappointed! Here’s the picture again..

I use a Bergeon tool - they are the best of the best when it comes to watchmaking and tools. Also, I’ve always found the Bremont one a little soft and like to keep them in top condition as part of...
Also saw that Andrew Michaels (AMJ) were selling Endurance at £3495 as part of their ‘Cyber Monday’ sales too!

Looking good, Tex!
What was the turnaround time on your service in the end?

Some good prices to be had there for sure - WT/WH is a good price!

Now, (unlike other Bremont LE pieces) you’ll always have the intrinsic value of the small Ronnie Wood artwork and the precious metal, but aside from that, you could well be correct.
This has been...
That’s a fair point that I actually hadn’t thought about.
Then again, how many of the younger generation have £40k to spend on a watch...? Maybe it doesn’t actually matter that they don’t know...
