Congratulations, I've yet to try one but the GS's do look a class act.

Looks great I'm still (im)patiently waiting for mine over here in Oz. Hopefully not much longer now!

Pelagos LHD for me today.

Yes, Seiko Sunday



But I'll be watch naked after lunch as on this strange sunny Sunday the Peak District is calling my inner beast

^^^I had to re-read your last sentence after initially getting a bit worried (missed the watch bit)....but all good now

This today. Old pic

Oakley Judge today

Second Sunday Seiko

Unsurprisingly, it was this one again today:



This is one of those watches that has had an instant impact on me - causing me to re-evaluate several others in my collection.

A bit of daytime lume

Really like the look of that,tried on the black one a couple of weeks ago think I’ll have to find an AD with a blue one to try. Richard,I know you have looked at the B.B. Steel is your opinion that the Bremont a better watch?
Apart from this weekend it’s just not getting much wrist time

When I've looked at the new Bremont's in photos or in the AD those lugs look long, a bit out of proportion to the case. How do they look to you with it on your wrist?

Hmmm. That's a tricky question. For me, the Bremont is a better fit on my wrist than the Black Bay, and having the BBR, I was unlikely to buy a BB Steel. However, there is no denying the inherent quality in the Tudor with its in-house 70 hour movement and undoubted heritage. The Bremont, on the other hand, is essentially a standard ETA in a fancy case. Personally, I'm a fan of the multi-part Bremont case and I have found this watch to be a revelation which is sure to cause a few others to depart my collection. If the residual values are a concern, I think you need would need to find a good deal on the Bremont.

The online images (from Bremont) do the watch no favours at all, and I agree, in a lot of the material the lugs look out of proportion. In the metal, that observation disappears - due (I think) to the curve of the lugs. For me, this is a well-proportioned case.
