Probably prompted by our recent discussions relating to a potential visit to Bremont's 'The Wing', I received a message from a #GreatEnabler Forum Member on Thursday morning, whilst out walking my dog, about this as an ex-display model from Jura @ 25% off.
It gnawed at me, so rang Jura to ask about the strap as I'd prefer an 'L'. Strap was 'R' but not crucial. Logged onto my Laptop when I got home and bought it. Took less than an hour and very much unplanned! It arrived yesterday.
Definitely ex-display as the strap has tell tale signs of being used, the plastic wrapper has clearly been removed and reapplied a few times, and the case needed a light clean. Notwithstanding this you'd be hard pressed to tell it is not brand new.
I'm well pleased and chuffed to bits, plus being completely satisfied with the service from Jura.
Its a model that I've considered buying several times since its release in 2019 but not had the right set of circumstances. It simply has an amazing spec and awesome backstory celebrating the ascent of Everest and the world's thirteen other tallest peaks, all over 8,000 metres, by Nirmal 'Nims' Purja MBE within seven months. Gives me goosebumps everytime time I think of it.

I think its a case of everything just hanging together so well, Alex.
Titanium case, 500M WR, Bronze Bezel, Gold hands and markers, unique motif on the dial, engraved rotor plus, as I've mentioned above, an awesome backstory.
As the Bremont 'R' strap at 75mm/115mm is shorter than my preference and make the watch sit in the wrong place around my wrist, away from me, I've put it on a Slim Vintage Green leather from Martu that I've had sitting, yet to be used, in one of my strap boxes for a couple of months (having forgotten which watch I actually ordered it for.
