Two top notch purchases, especially with the winders and extra strap.

Enjoy them in good health.

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. :thumbup:

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

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...

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.
