Wanted one of these for a while. Spotted the auction with 4 minutes left on the clock, made a snap decision I hope I don't regret.

I'd love something like that, it's really nice.
I hope it works out well for you mate

Btw, can it do half hour differences on the GMT function?

I don't think so, but I have another watch that can.

Just out of interest which watch is that?

It's arrived within 7 days from China.
A mecaquartz chrono, I wear an Aqua Terra or 300 SMP as a daily and fancied something a bit different.
It's on the large side but I have large wrists so it doesn't look gigantic.
Finishing is very good and it's on a comfortable strap.

Yeah it does
At least as you say it's a bit different.

I've succumbed to temptation after swithering for a VERY long time. It's comforting to know I'll still be able to tell the time after being fired from a plane in an ejector seat

Like these a lot, the pull handle detail is lovely.

That's been calling me too.

I think when they get it right they get it very right.

I'm not so fond of the ones with a bit of Amelia Earhart's favourite toothpick in them.

It's a popular put down because Bremont have included various artifacts within certain commemorative addition watches. Not something anyone else would do of course.

There's a load that "incorporate material" from famous things. This isn't all of them...

But then you have things like the Solo and Audley and so on, which are just handsome watches.

I knew that yet it completely went over my head. With the toothpick comment I was thinking it was some sort of hand shape you didn't like

To be fair I don't like it when anyone does it. I'm not anti-Bremont - I'm very fond of my Solo.

Picking this up today, to say I'm excited would be an understatement.

Oooh enjoy that!

It’s the third one on my list at the AD.

Pickup my world time in July, then aquanaut, and then the same fine specimen you’ve posted.

Wear it in good health.

[M1K3]

Now I just need to get home…

Every time i get dragged around Bicester Village by SWMBO i keep spending far too much time in the Bremont shop pondering over these, i am going to end up with one eventually
