    Sorry, no, I am not talking about the spiral tachy. The external bezel is a simple fixed 0-60 scale. Nothing to do with cycling. And a poor detail, imho

    Loved that, right up to the point where I saw one of my pet peeve details, a 0-60 fixed bezel.
    WTF? It's in the Pelagos range, put a proper rotating bezel on that. And it would be near perfect.

    Yes. Totally mad. Not sure MrB has that 100% right. I can't see why the bezel and lugs on my Alt1 would be hardened (as well as the barrel), and nothing of the front half of the case on SM500.

    The hardening process is not the DLC process. The hardening can happen without the colouring.

    I am not sure this is very consistent.
    You argue that they have devalued the one thing they have, their brand.
    But then argue that the brand was built on dodgy foundations.

    One word of warning (as a long time owner of one Bremont, and a very short term owner of another).
    Bremont seem to do nothing to harden their titanium cases.

    I spent a good 40 minutes gawping at the Tipo 33 Stradale when I was at the FoS in 2010 (as a guest of Bremont).
    For me it is the perfect blend of beauty, aggression, style and function I have ever...
