Bremont Supermarine has arrived
Just had a call from the AD. My SM500 has arrived, and I'm going to collect it this afternoon.
Pretty excited about this one!
Now I just have to decide - bracelet, rubber, leather..........

Start with the bracelet...you know the others are cheaper seperately.

Re: Bremont Supermarine has arrived
One of the things that I learned from my trip to my local Bremont AD is that the SuperMarine is too much watch for me, so I will have to live vicariously through downer and tartine.
Congrats on an awesome acquisition! Can't wait for the photos!

Re: Bremont Supermarine has arrived
Well I got it....I decided on the bracelet and the leather strap, but not the rubber, having tried all three.

Re: Bremont Supermarine has arrived
FIrstly, I cannot (and would not attempt to) improve on the pictures and details in this review, so I will not try.
Secondly, I impulsively changed my camera and so far, I have not managed to take a decent picture with the new one. I have not had time to work on all the settings, but I was impatient to take pictures of this watch. So, these are not my finest efforts, but they will suffice until I have mastered the camera.
As for my impressions of the watch, I am very pleased with it. The bracelet is very good quality and the watch feels nicely balanced. The detail in the case and dial is excellent and the lume is already looking good, even though it is still daylight.
Anyway, here goes...
I'll attempt a lume shot later.
Thanks for looking.

Re: Bremont Supermarine has arrived
Congratulations Richard, that is a stunning watch. The pictures have really picked up on the build quality. I really like the detail in the case, looks very well thought out. I'm guessing it's pretty heavy on the wrist?
Cheers,
Jack.

Re: Bremont Supermarine has arrived
Thanks Jack. It is a big watch, and fairly weighty, but I'd say it is probably lighter than my PO. If I can find some accurate scales I will try to get some accurate weights for comparison with a few other watches.jack wrote:Congratulations Richard, that is a stunning watch.

Edit...
Weights as follows:
C60 FLE on bracelet - 176g
Omega PO on bracelet - 190g
Bremont SM on bracelet - 211g
according to my scales.
