Guys,

AD has informed me today that my MB3 will now be with us August at the earliest.

Has anyone else been given similar information?

Haven't actually ordered but did inquire at my local AD and got roughly the same date as you.

I was initially told end of May after ordering on the day of unveiling at Basel.

I'm just super impatient.

Having recieved my Royal Marines edition Bremont a few weeks ago i'm definately a fan of the brand now. Excellent watch by any standards. The only thing that lets them down are the poor quality pictures they use in their adverts. They don't do the watch justice at all.

Enjoy when it arrives!

I had an anthracite MB2 and LOVED it, I was told September / October for an MB3 so have now been distracted by other things, hopefully I will have an MB3 at some point!

Apart from the GMT function I like the slightly cleaner markings around the internal bezel, it looks a bit shaper to me.

I did wonder whether the delay might be down to Bremont's change of NATO strap supplier, I.E they would have to make enough to go with all the MB3s that will be shipped!

Glad Bremont are getting a mention !
I can't decide over the S2000 / S500 or a MB 2
Rudy is extremely helpful though in their West End shop.

Great British watch company. smile

I have to say, I did have a little crisis of confidence after the recent foxes paw regarding the Wright Flyer and the "confusion" about the movement...............

Had to google 'Lurking' haha
Apparently .......' lurking isn’t considered rude like other online behaviors such as trolling and flaming'

learn something new everyday.

I thought I was being rude. smile

I'm genuinely after a Bremont and not trying to sell them.

Now reading about 'trolling & flaming..."

I've just bought the MBII with the orange case. I'm wearing it with the NATO strap but will change it to the leather if I need to "smarten up" a bit. Very impressed with the thing, feels indestructible tbh.

The brand does seem to split opinion but I wanted a change from my Sub so I'll be moving that on soon enough, I've also got an old Air King that I'll never part with so I've got a more discreet option too if needs be.

The MBIII does look a bit tidier, not sure what the difference in cost is compared to the 2 ??

I find it really odd how the MB3 is finally in the shops yet it seems to be a secret!

Big hoo ha about a nonsense Jaguar collaboration amounting to less than a handful of watches that you can't buy, even bigger hoo ha about a seriously expensive watch containing a miniscule shred of aviation history, but a watch that some people have been wanting to see since Basle?

Really makes me wonder!

Nick and Giles if you are reading this, whilst you were procrastinating woth the MB3 I got distracted and bought an Explorer 2, even now that the MB3 is physically for sale it seems that you aren't bothered about letting anyone know!

Saw the MB3 in the Royal Exchznge last week.
GMT, different bezel and no day, just date.
Nice enough, but not a massive change on the MB2
I like the slightly more sparse looking internal bezel and I don't mind the day function not being there.

I heard it's coming on leather with a spare "Temple Island" rubber strap but no velcro yet!

Don't you think it odd that this watch crept in? I kept asking about it for months and eventually hot distracted!
