You’d have to be certifiable.
Even the steel version is £9.5k!
Who buys these?
I will be ordering a vintage grey nato, there is only one Hercules for me though and it was, is and always will be a proper aircraft compared to the goose.
Very nice case back though......right idea, wrong price :-(

I've been very critical of Bremont over the years and it's a well trodden path in this parish, so I'll refrain from walking down it again.
If I wanted a Bremont, I'd buy one of the standard models pre-owned. That's a decent value proposition. Anything else is of no interest.

Ridiculous.
agreed, caseback does look very niceQuote:

I am not sure it does their brand any good.
I know that in the past some LEs have sold very well, some are highly sought after and trade at a premium.
This is likely to tempt the brand to make more.
But more is not always a good idea, and not every LE makes it to being traded at a premium.
This looks elegant, very nice in fact. But the whole Bremont LE thing is a bit beyond me.
There are a few Bremont models that I really like - that is not one of them.
Wonder if Beaverbrooks would offer interest free on that!
I have one really irrational problem with Bremont (bar the use of the 7750 derivatives). My big beef is London on the dials. England would be Ok, Britian ok. But 'London' looks naff to me; A. They are in Henley-On-Thames (so, er not London) and B/ it looks like 'Links of London'.
This is the only one I like,you can get 15% off.

One LE per year isn’t OTT...look at Omega for an extreme exampleQuote:

The whole LE thing is a frustrating one but most brands over do it. Omega launch an LE model if the chief watch makers dog takes a shit, they go from sublime to the ridiculous in LE volumes.
As for Bremont I can’t attest to the movement quality which has been the general theme of discourse at any price point, the LE’s are just crazy money, the bog standard ranges look good, build looks decent, ultimately if a buyer enjoys it who has the right to rubbish that
Sorry mate but I think I'm free to express my disgust about any brandQuote:

That rotor is different, I like it 😎Quote:

Totally agree with the ‘London’ marking on the dial. I turned down a Solo at 50% off rrp because of that one word.
I like the Martin Baker range, not too fond of this one although the case back is lovely. The 1918 raf limited edition has a similar very nice case back.
Overall I like the brand. But not at retail

Not the first, nor I expect the last to cut off 10, I have this model https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...169228e266.jpgQuote:
