    Jesus , many more posts like this and I'm halfway to becoming a Bremont apologist
    Good luck everybody. Have a good one.

    I love everything about it apart from the Norton branding. As a non-motorcyclist, nevermind not owning a Norton, I'd feel a bit soft wearing it. At least it doesn't have the negative connotations of a Ferrari/Panerai or Ferrari/GP. Enjoy - it's a lovely piece.

    Nice Bremonts. I do like the dial design on the Norton. Must admit I hadn't seen that model before.

    regards,
    Nick

    Unless you´ve ever had to commute on a Norton :wink:

    The two positive things about it:
    - you become a practical survival mechanic
    - mine had a Smith chronometric which was a crash course in horology gear boxes:

    And it's in the classic JPS colours of the rotary racers.
    They used to sound amazing

    Lovely Bryan - a Bremont is on my hit list, probably an MBII or one of the pilot chrono's...

    Enjoy it!

    Cheers,

    Rob

    Cool watch and collection. 8)

    The more I see of Bremont, the more I admire their casework - the detailing sets them apart from many of the less adventurous designs.

    The Supermarine is my favourite of the three.

    Congratulations, very nice collection.

    I was at the UK Border Agency the other day and noticed the guy waiting (and waiting, and waiting...) in front of me had an orange MBII. I was surprised by how instantly recognizable it was.

    Loved those old Nortons. Watching Ron Haslam hustle them round the track was brilliant. Lovely new watch as well. Congratulations.

    Re: Lamb to the Slaughter.......Bremont content !

    All three look super! The Norton is probably the nicest.

    The Bremont Norton is a beautiful watch, but way beyond the means of your average man on the street. The colour scheme, Norton logo and usual Bremont quality case, etc = a stunner

    The SM500 is still top of my 50th birthday wish list, but plenty time to change my mind yet.

    Re: Lamb to the Slaughter.......Bremont content !

    Love the Norton!

    Congrats on hitting the hat-trick of 3 Bremonts!

    Bremont keep growing and with their new models coming this year I think I may be adding a white Solo to join my SM 500 and MB II.

    Yep, looking forward to seeing the white Solo too. Heard most of the new stuff at Basel should be appearing in June - fingers crossed.

    That were post modern reïncarnations. ´Old´ Nortons end with the Commando.
    Also only on the british isles were the rotary Nortons given leeway in the regulations.

    I never heard about connection between Bremont and Norton.
    But I love both brands separately. Any link to more information about their connection?
