Blue alligator far too posh for me. I say stick it back on the rather nice blue rubber that it came on!
Still one of my favourite Bremonts.

Alas, I swapped out the blue rubber for a vintage strap when I purchased it. Rather regret it now! Maybe I need to purchase one again. It would probably suit it.

Looks superb, would that be a birthday present by any chance?!

So theoretically you do own one Patrick, but you're simply geographically separated from it at the moment... I recall that you were looking for one.

Big fan of this watch takes goods bits from the 356 and the 104 and merges them together well. Prefer the bezel on this to the countdown one on the 104

Well, the 103 St directly derives from the 101 which was likely the first Sinn wristwatch model ever produced by Helmut Sinn, and the 103 has been in production a lot longer than the 104, so the 104 borrows from the 103, not the other way around
A vintage 101 is my ultimate grail watch but I won’t find one, here is a review and pics -

And no, I’ve had it for a few months now, it’s not new. The different thing about this particular watch is that the case and bracelet are beadblasted and the date wheel is German.

You're right I guess Gary, poor English on my part! I've certainly bought one but just not got my hands on it yet.

Almost a week with the same watch.. only have it for 6 days but already feels like a good old friend. On a Hadley-Roma Cordura two-piece strap today.

No, it is not any mod: the Kirium F1 was offered on rubber or bracelet.
Congrats, Patrick, it's an extraordinary watch

Well there you go. I always say that it's never a waste of a day if you've learned at least one thing that day. Something learnt!
Edit: My memory is going. I was mixing up the Kirium F1 with the Kirium Ti5. The latter is the titanium version with carbon fibre case and only available on rubber... it's all coming back to me now. Eye roll... Of course the stainless steel F1 was available on a bracelet. Duh!

In appreciation of learning something (and a great photo) and to whet Patrick's appetite, I've been inspired to put this on today...
