    That looks really nice in the metal - much better than the pics

    Agreed, much better in real world pictures than the stock pictures, still a ‘so close’ for me, but nice to see something interesting and different. I would like to handle one and see it in the metal.

    I like the black/blue combination I find it to be attractive.

    I have one with the same colour scheme.





























    The mix of Arabic and Roman numerals, together with the other different styled markers, does grate a little on the Bremont, seems an odd design concept actually. It kind of pulls you away from the attractive colour combination.

    I really like these, mainly because the masses don't but I'm a bit like that, also @skip love the spontaneity of your purchase.

    Cheers mate. As has been said, it would be a pretty boring world if we all liked the same things. Slightly left of centre is usually were I find the most enjoyment. Have now put it on the OEM rubber strap, which to me looks ace. Proper stealth!

    Looks great on that OEM strap, Skip!

    Saw that Ernest Jones had them back in stock for delivery on Tuesday, so I did a thing :D

    Haha - good man! Can definitely recommend the rubber - the fitted ends help to take away some of the height of the case. This one’s over 10 years old now - might treat it to a new one at some stage.

    Can't get past the dial. Not a fan of mixing numerals like that.
    Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.

    Had a look at this in the boutique today. A customers watch as they're sold out. The blue is much darker than pictures suggest. The strap compliments it well but doesn't really suit a dive watch. Hopefully it comes with a temple island.
    Definitely prefer the normal S500 range.

    Absolute stunner Skip. I might have responded as such on a FB post of yours to the same effect.
    Just a little too big lug to lug for me though
    Wears really well on you....perfect summer watch by the looks of it

    Wearing it out in the sunshine today on the aforementioned Temple Island strap. Nice, but think the fitted rubber is still the best option.

    Yes but you can phone round AD's like Goldsmiths, EJ etc. and they will possibly have stock.

    Thanks. Found one, but not sure at 16.4mm thickness it's wearable on an average sized wrist.

    There no denying that it’s a thick watch, but I find that the fitted rubber strap from the standard S500 helps to hide a lot of that thickness. For me it’s most comfortable on the rubber as well.
