As soon as the whole saga started to unfold and I read the name of the majority investor, I thought that it speaks volumes really on the current trajectory.

As soon as the whole saga started to unfold and I read the name of the majority investor, I thought that it speaks volumes really on the current trajectory.
If I was in their shoes I probably would've cashed out when given the chance too!
That's very sad to hear. It very much sounds like the new management have taken a page out of Elon Musk's playbook.
I wonder if what they were sold on was a very different model to what's...
Another interesting take on the whole thing from Watch & Wound: https://wornandwound.com/our-reactions-to-the-bremont-rebrand
I find myself agreeing with quite a lot of Zach Weiss' opinion...
Excuse the bad pic, but this is my C6 Kingfisher - one of CWs first offerings in quartz, and the first logo I believe. I don't wear it anymore as it's too big and heavy for my liking, but style wise...
I assumed there might have been a story on the BBC website (and by extension based on history I'd have thought that it would have been communicated on here if there had been one). At the very least...
This would’ve been great to see and I think most people would definitely have been singing RM’s praises if this had been the case. Sadly not to be though.
It does all seem to have come as quite a...
I've always taken it as read that keeping a copy of the certificate of posting would provide enough evidence on that front. If sending an expensive watch I will take a picture of the packaged up...
I wonder how it works with sales where the RRP of a watch (and any original receipt if you have for it) is over £2500, but it's been sold at a price lower than that (i.e. on SC or eBay). The sender...
Completely agree on all of this.
As for the green GMT hand, they're trying to market it as something to do with a 'connection to the land' or some other guff...I glazed over by that point of...
Very uninspiring Tudor releases this year, and when did "Waterproofness" become a word?

I quite like the black & grey Rolex GMT though.
By god it's hard...
You've summed up my thoughts on Sinn tech far more succinctly than I could do. Having managed to put a fairly noticeable rub line across the underside of a lug on a Damasko DA36 the first time I...
If only the Sharkhunter and/or Caribbean came with all white hands...
Great comparison ACG. Admittedly I've only ever seen it in pics, but the dial on the 300 has always seemed very small (emphasised more by the box crystal I think). Interesting that the 200T looks to...
With the bracelet/rubber strap flare as it comes away from the case, I'm guessing it will wear more like a 20mm though. I'd be interested in seeing the weight listed too (and a comparison to the...
I just came specifically to post the same thing. These have definitely grabbed my attention too! The price point seems ok compared to other companies who have released a smaller sized variant (I'm...
I've not tried one myself (yet), but have you looked at YellowDog straps for rubber natos? Does nato/zulu styles as well as tropic, rally and standard natos. Customisable too as each one's made...
It makes my teeth ache just thinking about that! 😂
I've now bought my wife a dremel (long story) under the condition I can use it for any watch strap-related jobs that need doing.
I wasn't aware of chargebacks via F&F either, so thanks for the heads-up!
I'm far from an expert but that sounds like it could be taken by Amex as a form of laundering? i.e. you pay your partner via Paypal F&F with your Amex to gain the air miles, then they/you still have...
I found it suspicious that not only is the lume very white still, but they've blocked the hour hand. I mean, it could be unintentional that the pic was taken as the hands overlapped, but for a...
Yes I actually discovered this to be the same on a Cousins nato I'd bought to test the waters. And the zuludiver single pass I bought allows for the second 'loose' keeper to just be slid off of the...
I personally prefer the racing dial, with it being a bit more muted, but would've still loved to have been able to try the Tintin out!
Not that I could've afforded it at the time anyway, but I remember when Chronext was selling the Speedmaster Tintin for the same price as a standard hesalite Speedy Pro. (back then I think it was...
Unfortunately I don't have either (although I've always fancied a dremel, but feel I'd probably have to make up reasons to use it! I guess a hacksaw is probably the cheapest option but seems a bit...
