Bremont Watches
Discussion
Had my MBII for about a year now. No problems so far. Very well built watch and the hardened steel case means it still looks like new. You'll probably hear a lot of 'overpriced watches with generic swiss movements' type comments, but you can say that about loads of luxury watches. I really like the brand and the fact that they are a British company that appreciate their customers.
Thanks yeti....somebody had to say it 
I actually chose mine because I wanted a tough reliable watch for everyday wear. The combination of Bremont's tough case and a COSC certified workhorse movement was ideal. I'm now considering a Schofield Signalman DLC (if there any left by the time I have funds) and maybe one of Lorne Gifford's Field Engineer Offshore chronos for the collection....never ends does it?

Thanks everyone - I'm considering selling my Explorer I and getting one at some stage.
Does anyone know what I'd get for a "worn every day for 15 years" Rolex Explorer I (I bought it new in about '98)? Works fine BTW.
I sold mine for 1300 quid back in the day; I would hope more than that now!Does anyone know what I'd get for a "worn every day for 15 years" Rolex Explorer I (I bought it new in about '98)? Works fine BTW.
Le me know what you're offered, I've always fancied one again; can't recall why I sold it now, loved it. Must have needed the money!

I love my MB2, I like what the brand stands for and it was a pleasure dealing with them.
Nick was also kind enough to bespoke something to personalize the watch for me.
My Daytona is now sat in the safe and will do so until my son is old enough / responsible enough to have it.
The reason I posted was that I met the brothers through work recently and was really impressed by them, and, as you say, what their brand stands for and what they've achieved (and more importantly where they want it to go). It wasn't in any way a sales pitch, but having spent some time with them I now want one of their watches! As others have said, I get the impression that they'd do everything possible to make ownership of one of thier watches a pain-free experience. I'm not really a watch aficionado, hence the request for opinions of those who are. Thanks for all the replies.Nick was also kind enough to bespoke something to personalize the watch for me.

I've got a couple and I've been happy with them. I would certainly buy another one. I also like the brand and I like what the brothers are trying to do. They probably need to relax with all these limited editions for a bit though.
I general I would say many of their watches are very versatile, i.e. they can be worn in a wide variety of occasions and still look the part. For example, my WT looks just at home in the office on a leather strap as it does on holiday on a nato.
I would also point out that though the steel used is very scratch resistant, it is susceptible to dings. These dings cannot be removed (is my understanding) and therefore the top section of the case would need to be replaced.

I've been looking at Christopher Ward but I'm now going to take a look at these to see how they compare.
You won't be disappointed with a Bremont, clearly not everyone's choice, but then you don't see them everywhere and may not feel the need to chop and change, looking for the next best thing.. Not cheap, but thats not the only reason you purchase a watch.
