Happy with it I think. Think it busts some Bremont myths for me, the case hardening is not all that as it already has its first dink on the edge of the bezel (dunno where that came from), the lume is seriously disappointing (matches the Rolex in that respect) build quality is really good but it's not really comparable to the rolex as the dial is flat and the case is brushed. It's a hell of a lot more legible in all light conditions thankfully. Oh and the crystal is infinitely better.

It reminds me of the Raymond Wells pilot watch but I know it should be the other way around. Enjoying the 7750 wobble once more.

Edit: £175 for a strap and £185 for a clasp, yeah il just sell both and buy the velcro 'nato' for £75 and have money left over :thumbup:

Seriously nice watch though Graham.

Did you have a Ranger before, or was that someone else?

Thanks Dave - taken with an apple, whilst balanced on a mango (the watch, not me!). I think these older Submariners and Seadwellers work ok off the bracelet. The nice new ceramic ones are best left on the bracelet I reckon. :)

Mango :shock: that's posh :lol: gotta get new glasses !!

I agree, I think the newer ceramic watches look "at home" on their bracelets.....

Any other strap colours we can look forward tooooooooooooooooo Neil ? :D
