Well I liked the bronze look, the Tudors of similar look too chunky & have that dreadful snowflake!

Thanks, I'm happy with the Bremonts, I bought the Solo first and quite liked the relatively simple look of it. The S501 came soon after as the Tag I had at the time was playing up and the AD gave me pretty much it's whole value back (after two years of ownership) against it. The build quality seems very good and with the fabric strap I put on the S501 I'm more confident that it can take a few knocks so wear that most of the time for work. Was there anything specific you wanted to know, I'll try to answer if I can but I'm certainly no expert?
Thank you for your reply.
I did not have anything specific in mind. I just like the look of the Bremont range and was curious.

Yep, that GS is terrific. What colour is the seconds hand? It looks fairly silver in the photo but the GS website shows it as yellow:

Granted website watch pictures tend to enhance colours that look more muted when you see them in real life.

Get in quick if you can. Very very few in USA/UK/Europe and going to be a future classic. The popularity is already off the chart on this one !!!

Haha I know what you mean, the Peacock is amazing, but second hand ones are going for silly money now. It was nice to get something nice from new (and 15% off rrp :-) )

15%??

I'm guessing you didn't get it through the Boutique then, either that or you're a very, very good customer.

I think I might go and have a look at it today, but with the recent addition of an SBGY003, money is a little short. It's a shame, I do rather like them...

Not through a boutique no. I am a good customer anyway :-)

Not a massive fan of TAG Heuer but an automatic for £150 was an OK deal, I thought.

Seller’s photo - more to come when it arrives.

Nice! I’ve been on “the list” for that since launch.. Surprised one hasn’t appeared yet. I’ve been offered the all rose gold version twice but it’s too much bling (and £!) for me smile
