Re: Other people’s perceptions

I’m convinced the only people who notice watches are enthusiasts or robbers.

Re: Bremont Supermarine 302 Mk II

It's also not really practical to use a fitted end link against the knurled barrel. The original MB was never offered with a bracelet option, so I guess the straight-ended bracelet is some sort of compromise solution. My beef with Bremont bracelets is the lack of development. They have not changed i...

Re: 2012 Aqua Terra - you did WHAT???!

Congratulations. The AT is a brilliant all-rounder, and (another) one that I probably should have kept!

Is this the white watch that is technically "opaline silver"?

Re: Bremont Supermarine 302 Mk II

* @downer I searched for S300, and fortunately the full range appears, including the marvellous S301. Yes... It appears on a specific search but it is not shown on the "Supermarine" page, and when you click through the S300 model (from a direct search) it says "Make an enquiry",...

Re: Bremont Supermarine 302 Mk II

The comments on Hodinkee/Bremont articles are fairly Pavlovian. Triggered by the B word, the same old guff is spewed out by the same old people.

Re: Pick a Saturday watch…

I am rather envious of your biking adventures. :thumbup: I keep thinking that if I tried taking that up again at my age, it wouldn’t end well. :( Neil Neil, I hadn’t been on a bike for the best part of 40 years when I restarted in 2018. I must admit, it’s a big part of my life now - leading to new ...
