Re: 2 new purchases
Two top notch purchases, especially with the winders and extra strap.
Enjoy them in good health.

Re: 2 new purchases
Two very nice additions, Les. No Bremont bashing from me - they're excellent watches and look really good. Just not quite my type. Enjoy them, both of you, and wear in good health.

Re: 2 new purchases
There’ll be no Bremont bashing from me, I’m definitely a fan. I also swapped out the deployant for a standard buckle on my Atl1 ZT. The Bremont deployant is oversized and very uncomfortable and I’ve not looked back

Your wife’s is nice, but yours is very special indeed (don’t tell her I said that)
Re: 2 new purchases
Thanks again for all the compliments on both of our watches..i found the deployment clasp release buttons to be the cause of the discomfort for me...it feels much more comfortable on a normal pin/buckle...

Re: 2 new purchases
I am a big Bremont fan too, and happy to see others enjoying the brand. The boys and their watches seem to generate a binary reaction; many love them, others despise them......
The Alt1-WT is a wonderful piece - as you say, surprisingly wearable for a 43mm 7754 lump (16mm, 17mm thick, I don’t recall). The combination of GMT/WT + chronograph is a really useful movement, the exhibition caseback is a delight. I have the same model, albeit with the original crown which, I am pleased to see, has been replaced on your version. Mine is difficult to pull out unless your fingernails have been allowed to grow.
Well done on a great deal. Unfortunately my CH winder stopped working inside a week, so it’s now a polished single watch box.
