I’m with you, but not for the price point — just because I could then wear it with a bracelet of some description. Not manufacturing the bracelets from the same hardened material (and the resultant...

It is? When I reached out them by e-mail, they told me it was 44mm x 15mm thick? Did they confuse it with a different model?

Their bracelet is a bit industrial — I’m not a fan of the screws in...

I’ve toyed with one of these too. What puts me off is the size (same thing that has caused me to move away from Bremont). Why can’t the Damasko be 42mm and 14mm thick. Rolex can build a gmt in a 40mm...

Mine has quite a few knocks and bangs on it. I’d prefer not to have a hardened case — that way I could at least pair a bracelet to it!

My case isn’t badly marked, but it has many scuffs and dings...

The time has come to post this piece to the forum in search for someone who will get more from the Bremont than I do.

I’ve had this watch for 3 years and bought it new from Topper Jewelers in...

I have no preference for Rolex in particular, I’ve owned many other makes. I like the Rolex GMT because of its proportions, it’s functionality, and it’s reliable movements and deviation rates. I’ve...

I’m not sure that 10 years is a long time by horological standards. When I think about what I class as dependable movements, I think of calibers with 30+ years of service — but I’ve a bent towards...

I’m really not very interested in limited editions, because they’re usually too expensive for what they are and I am rarely interested in the subject.

I would just prefer a set of watches that...

If it’s made, then it has the potential to fail. I could care less about the warrantee issues (though I’d prefer something broke down less).

My Bremont has been through hell and has not failed...

Well, it’s lighter, prettier, better constructed, has an in-house movement that has 50 years of well-defined heritage, it has the much loved (not that I understand it) snoopy tie-in, the chronograph...

Oh! I hadn’t thought about legibility! Was the dial too cluttered, or was it the hand contrast? Which model did you have?

I have the ALT1 ZT/BK too. It’s the best of the bunch I think. However, it needs to be 2mm thinner, 2mm smaller, and have an external 1-23 bezel or something.

The kingsman is a nice piece, but no...

I have a love hate relationship with Bremont. I wonder whether or not that is projected by other WISs.

I dislike pilots watches, hate straps, dislike the ETA jumping 24 hour hand movement and...

A keen eye, J! I’m not well versed on aircraft, for that matter!

Looks like you were right, though!! I know nothing about planes, but like everyone else, I love the Spitfire. In a similar way to...

Specials aren’t my kind of thing (I am a one watch guy, so collecting isn’t an interest). The spitfire is nice, but I don’t know anything about the robustness of the pvd coating. The dial is easy to...

I’m not really an expert, but it looks like it to me — the Merlin exhaust ejectors are pretty unique.

Haha! I have an L322, and to be honest, it really is outstanding. But I’m biased; I’m on number 44 and negotiating number 45 (and number 42 — I’m buying an old RRC back!)

It does, I can see something that way coming on too.

I was kinda hoping for a Range Rover tie-in, though! Today is the 50th anniversary! I know that there’s an existing Zenith tie-in, but it’s...

I’ve always struggled to get hold of Carl. Not sure why, but he never seems to reply to any message I send him on any platform. His gear is top notch, though, and this is another fine example.

Is...

Ouch!

The 1947 designs are not my kind of thing at all. I like a watch to have a plain dial and be quite restrained. Bremont’s can be a little busy for me in some cases; I think this is sometimes...

I think you’re right — it’s certainly different than for the other brands, for sure!




It’s proportions aren’t too bad, but it’s a bit uninspired on the dial and handsets. It’d be nice to see...

That is interesting! Those SS watches are really hard to find!

That’s quite fair, really. I hadn’t thought about it, but it’s a reasonable position to take. Curiously, even though I don’t follow the brand ambassador thing, I know more people (ambassadors) that...

It’s good to hear that the townhouse events are so inviting — a few people have suggested I should go to one. To be honest, I probably would if it coincided with a UK visit. It’s refreshing to hear...

A touch on the large side for me; I’d prefer a solo or something similar. But I’m also not into dress watches (my perfect dress watch is the 1675 or 1680).
