    Are those beer bottles in that coat of arms, Bob?
    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

    I have a box of breakfast cereal emblazoned with the name of an Oxford College.

    It's worth noting that the dealer in Newark doesn't make any mods, but acts as a supplier/distributor for the special editions. I've been fortunate enough to see a number of bespoke watches that they've handled, and in all cases the customisation has been done by the watch manufacturer themselves.

    Should the lion be dexter rather than sinister? Just checking you're not subverting the iconography and building an underground following.

    Although that sounds like fun.

    Good call. And, how delightful. The image I used is inverted. (Got it from an email sent to me from a college office.)

    Best wishes,

    Eagerly awaiting the ‘Bremont Secondary Modern’ and ‘Bremont Grammar’ 😂
    Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.

    Some of them are plain odd - I notice that to celebrate the achievement of someone climbing the World's 14th tallest mountains they released a limited edition [checks notes] Diver's watch.

    Bremont Oxbridge

    Maybe the chap who commissioned the run has got it all wrong. A bulk order of the 'we hate Bremont’ crest’’ would have flown out!

    Would a run of 100 have been enough....

    Put a piece of a Christopher Ward watch on the case back and you would make a fortune.

    That'll be ALL 14 of the Earth's tallenst mountains, not just the 14th.
    In just over 6 months.
    An incredible feat of mountaineering.
    The haters do not cover themselves in glory when being so willfully inaccurate.

    I think I read about that guy...absolute super-human achievement in the space of time he did it.

    Which ever way you look at it, Bremont are the undisputed L.E. Kings, I think that's beyond doubt.
    That’s Omega...surely?!

    Oh well, at least it doesn't come with a free fleece with a picture of a wolf on it. I think........
