Re: Bremont ALT1-ZT/51 Arrived
An update. I purchased a Hirsch Heritage in Gold Brown and I fitted it this morning. It's immediately more comfortable than the Bremont Vintage strap and (based on the other Heritage strap I have) it will only get better.
I also think it looks fine - although of course, that's subjective and I am biased.
In other news, I'm pretty sure I am not ready or willing to sell the "C", so for now I will keep them both on the Hirsch straps:

I have to say both of those look terrific. I too would recommend keeping both as they each bring something different. If you want to reduce numbers look elsewhere. I think collections can include 3 from one brand

Re: Bremont ALT1-ZT/51 Arrived
A very sound decision Richard.
The two watches are very different and deserve lots of wrist time.

Congrats. Bremont is not my cuppa, but I can see the appeal of that one. Three! You really are a fan.

Hi Richard, congrats on finding the best straps for your watches.
Have a ZT myself and think I will get a Hirsch too. Do I see it correctly you use the deployment clasp?
I ask because I have difficulties to fit anything thicker than 4mm and the Heritage is listed with 4.4mm - 7mm depending on where you look. Are there different versions, like a padded and unpadded one?

Re: Bremont ALT1-ZT/51 Arrived
^^^ Yes, I used the Bremont deployant, which is a great fit on the Hirsch. I have to admit that since this thread, I've actually sold both watches...

Re: Bremont ALT1-ZT/51 Arrived
What a shame I just swapped my classic Alt1-Z for the ZT after 8 years
But thanks for the info, now I just need to decide if the anthrazite would fit the ZT too.

Re: Bremont ALT1-ZT/51 Arrived
Great looking watch! I'll be honest and say that, although the watches are undeniably wonderfully built and have fantastic tool features like anti-magnetic cages etc. I'm not a Bremont fan as I cannot get over their - to me - manufactured 'heritage' which was further sunk by the BS launch of their IH movement (same reason I don't buy Tags these days).
But I will say again, the watch is a stunner and I'm being picky.
Give the strap time, I've had a few that started stiff and left the watch at a funny angle on my wrist, but agfter a couple of weeks of softening meant the case sat far more naturally on the wrist. I bet it's really high-quality leather, but it needs time to mould to your wrist. You can't judge a new strap on stiffness, in my experience.

Thanks again for all the kind words (even you Smeggers ). It's almost embarrassing to admit the watches are gone but I still have the straps...
