I was a Bremont fan in the early years and even recall their launch at Goodwood Festival of Speed where I was very close to buying an Alt-1 Zulu.
Dabbled in a few of their watches over the years and...

Blue Raleigh Boxer for my first steed, which I loved. Equipped with stabilisers, I pretty much taught myself how to ride. Eventually the steerer tube snapped so that was the end of it.

Next was a...

Had no idea this existed until yesterday when my local AD showed me the A blog to watch article. My initial reaction was “no way!”.

After further visits to the page, I’m now pondering it, but...

How did your brother decide that he fancied a luxury watch? That would be a fairly lumpy whim purchase.

Did he do some basic online shopping first? Good on him for going in and getting it done.

Thanks for the links guys.

Couldn’t find the sale watches when navigating the site.

I’m just glad they haven’t completely destroyed the Navitimer range. Still some text book B01 Navi’s in the range.

Not much else excites from that brand these days.

Some interesting tips there Paul, thanks.

I used to refinish Breitling bracelets, bezels, etc. a few years ago, although not touched one for a while now. Like you, I had specific kit, grades of...

Sorry to hear about the difficulties during the last few years, but equally good to hear you’re out the other side of some of it.
I can certainly relate to having a loved one with dementia. Lost my...

I've had to retype my reply a few times as I'm struggling to justify my true response, but here goes...

No way would I pay the prices for my collection if there were no brand names on them. I just...

My sentiments exactly and I also recall seeing them for the first time at Goodwood FoS when they had just launched.

~£50m is hell of an investment for them so interesting to see what impact it has

eBay seem very reluctant to pull listings these days even when good evidence is given.

Let’s hope their authentication program does its job.

Love the new caseback. More Ti is good.

Not sure if it’s the angle of the photo, but do the endlinks curve down more on the newer version?

7 clocks in our house. Can't work out why a modern car can't adjust itself, but that's another one to do when I next drive it.

Wish the time could just be left alone rather than this bi-annual...

Reading the time must take some getting used to, but even more reason to stare at it.

Absolute stunner.

What’s the little tab for on the caseback?

I recall their only chrono diver that could be used underwater was the old Chrono Avenger M1. As it had a quartz movement, Breitling managed to mechanically decouple the pushers from the movement by...

Now that would put an amusing spin on it 😆

I've bought and sold with them and can't say I'm overly amused by this. Took a little longer for them to email me, but there it is.

I was also watching the Christies auction and was surprised how much the Seamaster sold for. The hammer price was £180,000, but the fees bumped it up to the headline price.

Interestingly, a...

I read it that someone accessed one of their employees accounts without authorisation.

So do I understand this correctly? You guys would all buy this thing no matter what the condition? There’s only so much that refinishing can rectify.

I must be in the minority.

Depends how battered it is and how fussy the buyer is. Sounds like its had a lot of wrist time. I appreciate at the end of the day, its a cheap Sub.

Can I just ask why you guys are quoting around...

Welcome back to WISdom mate.

Hope all goes better for you now. Sounds like the pandemic certainly hit you hard. Always a shame to hear of small businesses taking a hit.

Can’t go wrong with...

Big fan of Apple watches. Wear one every working day, but the Ultra would just get in the way, get bashed on everything and quite frankly look oversized on my small wrists.

I get some of the...

Well I have the same issue as the OP’s first post. Never get a good fit with straps so usually avoid these days.

However, my main irritation has to be the fact that every time I buy a new watch,...

Was never 100% sure about the FXD, but the 39mm Pelagos is pretty much my perfect diver.

All I can think though, is here we go again. Another wait list piece. It’s getting boring.
