It bowled me over from the first minute I saw it, even more so when I first handled it and it just get's better now that I'm noticing all it's little nuances that only come with spending more time with a watch through ownership, like the interplay of colour on the dial in different lighting.

The quality is simply stunning, the build, the level of finish, the weight and balance, the presentation case back, the strap - all of it of the highest standard and to be blunt, it compares favourably with watches of a similar price range, based on my own (albeit limited) personal experience.

Am I looking to buy another, well not yet, because despite all the above, not many of the designs really grab me, But if one does happen along in the future, then I would do so without hesitation - financing allowing naturally.

There are a good few folk on here who own CW's and Bremonts (or have in my case) and wait for this, other brands also deemed 'above' CW's current standing, if we have to use such terminology. The only one's who seem to put a downer on Bremont when comparing them to CW, don't appear to and I wonder why that is?

You poor mindless fool! How could you fall for the Bremont marketing machine. :)

I know - I'm the salesman gift - they have my number marked before I've even walked through the door! If only just one of those dealers had offered a discount, but nope, they weren't budging!

They can be buggers to get a discount from! (which again says to me that they are not struggling for sales)

Great choice by the way. The u2 is a beaut.
