It’s not for me to offer the Boss advice, he has certainly had enough to deal with, but the forum is withering from the lack of new members. There may be an option to have a pool of moderators just...

I seem to buy into a brand when all the smart money moves out. Maybe I should get a a first generation orange barrel MB2 while I can.

The part number is 108W

I ordered one in Oct 2020 from AMJ watches, and it was the princely sum of £130 then

It’s been gone from the collection for 4 years, it doesn’t seem that long and I do miss it, it was lovely.

I did find a lume shot from back in the day

I have been reflecting on what most consider a worrying change of direction.

B&R could be considered on of Bremonts peers, around a bit longer, similar aviation / military / adventure focus, and...

It’s an interesting approach, although it might trigger the purists ;)

I know the 6309/6306 case is an icon, but I do like my slim cased 7548. There were slim 6309 in their later years, iirc.

This a fantastic thread that TT started, one of the best pieces of shared wisdom on the forum. I have enjoyed reading through all of it while at home on a miserable day.

As I haven’t...

So the Sinn sold, but the plan to keep all the money in the bank didn’t entirely work out.

I’ve made it clear I’m pretty horrified at the new designs.

It’s a new company now , new owners, new management, Nick & Giles are no longer in charge, and the brand no longer represents their...

Hadn’t spotted the size when I posted :(

I don’t want to be dramatic, but these releases are so bad, I can see it being the beginning of the end for the brand.

I haven’t owned a Bremont, but I got really close to buying the First Gen MB2...

It looks like the new approach from Bremont is to embrace mediocrity but then try to market their way out of it with the spirit of adventure. I don’t think it will work.

Monochromatic BB58-meh

BB58 Coke GMT. Waay too vintage, but new movement and *may* be thinner

New Bremont releases a disaster :(

I wonder what nickname that bland black and grey GMT will get?

I won’t add to this beyond stating that apart from James Stacey, Hodinkee has been dead to me for quite a while. I do check out Fratello and sometimes post in the comments.

I’ve had limited experience, but I think they are good. They sized two Rolex bracelets for me, and refused to take any money for it.

I did give them a Breitling Aerospace for a battery change,...

Most of the personal information is acquired by them for ID purposes when you sell on the platform, when you buy a watch they will acquire payment details, shipping address, etc

I find Chrono24 really good, and although I mainly use the App, it’s also fine in a Chrome browser on my Macbook.

As Martyn has said, the app is pretty good, and it is the main way I access it. I...

I still have two Vulpine jackets from the earlier business venture, and still like them. The Frahm Harrington isn’t far from the jacket he sold when Vulpine was his brand.

I wouldn’t consider...

If you were happy with something that wasn’t a sports watch, then i would go for something independent at this money for sure.

GO is a great choice, but it depends if you want a watch produced...
