Now that one I don't know.

There are loads that have great back stories.

Going off half cocked is another. Anyone know where that comes from ??

Richie I agree about the way phrases and little sayings evolve and develop and the history behind them.

Like the sticking up of two fingers dates back the English archers doing it to the French...

Interesting post Texzan, as I always thought it was a boxing term.
You learn something new everyday !!!

I am a southpaw and it does feel totally wrong having a watch in my right wrist imo

...

Is that a golf ball or a massive ball of ice.

I was going to suggest possible laser welding but at that price I would send it straight back to bremont and not worry about it.
If it were a Rolex you would be looking at over £1000 quite easily. ...

I have a TI strap and I just can't like it at all. To stiff and holds the buckle up so that it digs into my inner wrist.
The most uncomfortable watch strap I have ever owned.

Nicely done Jfingers.
Looks like an awesome job flying those.

Always frustrating and bemusing when fakes start popping up of a brand of watch you own. I remember telling me they had seen some one on holiday selling fake Tags back in about 1987. I couldn't...

MBii on NATO for me today. Not had as much wrist time as it should recently, so I am enjoying it all the more.

I will third that. I had a bit of a wait but they are great straps and very customizable at the point of ordering.

Good tip. I will try that Jake, thanks

Thanks for the replies guys. I have had it on my MBii and also on an Omega planet ocean, no better on either.

Your replies are what gets me....you guys saying it's a comfy strap and it digging...

Good to see someone dig deep for this watch. I would think a collector of aviation memorabilia probably had it.

Hi guys

Not posted for a little while but I decided to start using my TI strap last week. I have persisted with it until now and taken it back off.

Basically I find I am sweating under the...

Rolex GMT master II for me.

Would like to have a six digit reference in Coke or Pepsi but Rolex doesn't do them in SS any more.

Is that a bremont strap or your own Texzan ??

Looks good anyway

Although not a fan of faux patina, I actually like this watch and for me is the best out of any of the divers Bremont do.
Looks great on the strap as well. The fact the bezel is a matte finish...

Good to see the brand moving onwards and upwards

Great pics and good to hear you were well treated.

Just for authenticity it's a red phone box, not a booth :-)

London is a great place to visit and I still haven't been to the Bremont...

Love the new supermarine watches I was never a fan of the older ones tbh.
I would like to see the vintage ones in the metal as they can go either way for me. Look great or contrived !!!
A nice...

From reading different forums and personal experience Bremonts CS would seem to be one of the more elite set ups and seems better than Rolex from what I have seen.

Tudor is a great piece, but like you say is it a standout watch.....prob not.

A birth year watch is a good call but could be mega money depending on which brand you go with. You re basically...

All sounds a little cloak and dagger.
It's a shame if they aren't doing it now as I agree with Stewphil the panerai's are up to much. I flirted with getting one a while back. So glad I didn't tbh. ...

I wonder if word is getting around that these can sell well and a few are cashing in.
There have been three or four over the last 18 months or so pop up.

Good new chunky, I have contacted your wife and introduced myself as the cleaner. She has agreed to sell me her half of your watch for £2000.
Can you fed ex it me, as I have a formal event on...
