    33 Squadron 100th Anniversary Bremont

    I'm currently on 33 Sqn and it's the 100th Anniversary next January, it was decided to commission Bremont to make a watch to celebrate this, of which 33 will be made. We have finally been shown the finished dial and delivery should be in late December. The dial depicts the Sqn crest, the F2B which was flown in its early history, Spitfire flown during the war, and our current steed, the mighty Puma! I've ordered mine in black, on leather strap with a deployment clasp, I know Bremont isn't to everyone taste, however I'm really looking forward to getting it!

    Not exactly my style but still nice to have something that means something to you.

    Oh and well done for being RAF :)

    Nice one, have you done anything to the back or the rotor? Ours turn up in march along with something from Eddie all going well.

    Any pics of the non DLC version?

    Much prefer this to the "SAS" Sub... ;)

    Not a great fan of PVD/DLC but that does look rather nice, wear in good health.

    Very nice indeed, I often wear my S500 it's one of my favourite watches. The fact there's only 33 makes it very special enjoy.

    A commemorative watch that will always mean something to you, it could be a Timex or a Rolex. It just happens to be a nice Bremont, well done.

    Stealthy but good, not too long to wait!

    Mike, good choice but not the best choice! I went for the non DLC with leather! On holiday at the moment so don't have any pictures for Middo but if Ditch doesn't have them I can stick them up next week

    I will bang a thread up with our one if people are interested, just heard the prototype hands and stuff are being made as I speak. Looking forward to the factory visit now.

    Enjoy the watch when it turns up.

    Each to their own Siko! I much prefer the DLC version.



  23. #23
    Siko???

    Wrong guess!!

    I've gone for the non-dlc after I had a look at one of the DLC AH sqn Bremonts, have to say my initial choice was the DLC though!

    Nice to have something commemorative and special to you - the fact the watch looks great too must be a real bonus & yes the DLC was the right choice IMHO !
