Started the day with this

Got to try on these a little bit later

Very impressed with the crystal on the U2 and other Bremonts. Hadn't realised from the pictures I've seen that it is so curved (without distortion), I'd always assumed it was flat. The bracelet on the Breitling was lovely with screwed links in the mesh.
They had 20% off too! but I was good and left with the Stowa I arrived with :)

Love that Stowa. Classic and simple.

Ooh, the U2. Adore that. It was a very close call for me when I got the mbii.

Where did you go to view these beauties? Were the Bremonts 20% off? (Feels road trip coming! )

Windsor Bishop in Norwich, and all stock in the shop with the exception of Patak, Rolex and Panerai are 20% off until 5pm Saturday. For example 2013 MB2 with London on the dial only £2716 instead of £3395 and I have a feeling a little more if you were lucky!
Also can recommend Roger Hickman's for lunch or dinner :D

This is cruelty on an epic scale! I am supposed to be in Norwich for a few days, and hunting for watches is much more fun than mooching around the Carrow Road Holiday Inn. Must resist. :mad:

I was in this shop during our summer Hols and found the staff very helpful. The lady who was introduced as the Bremont specialist was very knowledgeable and said that the English brothers pop in there from time to time. Even better with 20% off.
