Well, not really. He was just one of three men in a boat (allegedly), who decided to start a watch company. The other two were Mike France and Peter Ellis. They were the senior shareholders from the...
Gosh, a real humdinger of a Bremont thread. Haven't seen one for ages, but then again, I haven't really been here for ages.
I'm a fan of the brand and have three, the U2 Blue, MB3 with the orange...
Just a thought, but I suspect that many tourists to Thailand are paying over the odds for their fakes! You need to find a Thai as a stooge, who will generally be able to buy it cheaper.
If it's anything like my DSOTM, it will still look brand new. They don't scratch, or at least mine hasn't.
I even put that to the test by lining mine up against a brand new model in one of the...
Well I live in a hot and humid climate and I can manage with everything. But generally I would say rubber is the least comfortable, I find my wrist really sweats under the rubber.
Most of my...
Having seen the Polaris last week, I would happily go for that, in blue! However, having tried the chrono and then WT and if having the funds, then either would be my choice. Both stunning.
Or the...
Three of mine & 4 pics!

Similar to Bangkok really in my experience. Last time I kept a (retained) record at the end of March, in one Rolex boutique here, I saw 3 Daytona's (not SS), 3 SS Yachtmasters and a black and white...
I'm always in the various watch stores when in Bkk (quite regular as my missus works there) so pretty clued up about prices. My favourite AD is PMT opposite Rolex at Paragon (where I bought my...
New to this not seen before thread and not really a rollie savant, but for what it's worth, there were 4 Daytona's, an Air King and a couple of yacht masters in the window of Rolex at Siam Paragon...
Both the Pinion's shown above are excellent.
I think bronze should be a bit left field really, I don't really go for bronze as a variation of an already well established model.
The one I...
Here's my bronze beast!

Genuine Thai brand, if somewhat resembling another....

That's just plain silly.
The CW racing watches are if anything, influenced by Chopard and poor in comparison.
I like what Schofield are doing and it's good to be kept updated via the mailing list. I like the case and overall design of their watch products and I particularly like the 'prepared' bronze beater....
That seems to contradict what's written above?
I think they produce great watches. They used to have their own boutique in a high end store in Bangkok and I had a good mooch around there on a few occasions. I thought quality wise they were up...
Omega for me. I'm not a great fan of 'deconstructed' watches, although some can be very nice. But for me, the GO dial just feels like a couple of complications were randomly added to fill a space...
I moved from London to the Lambourn Valley in 2009. It was like entering a different World - rural, peaceful, very beautiful countryside based in the Lambourn (or North Wessex) Downs, friendly folk...
The in-house movement came from their merger with their watch manufacturer and part of their most recent re-branding includes an emphasis on the fact they are now an anglo-Swiss business. Most of...
I think the ST Is a class act, but I'm really impressed by the Zenith. What do rhey retail for?
Interesting thread. I live in Thailand and have bought several watches here. All the papers are the same as you get everywhere. In various languages. Companies like Bremont still send on later the...
Glad you like it!
I first visited in 2000 and fell in love with the place! It was much quieter and even less commercial then! But I live south and west of the centre of town, so have the best of...
Well, I wasn't trying to force anyone's hand, I really wasn't aware it was an issue, but take your point that it could be seen as being indiscrete, so have duly amended that part of my message. I...
