I don't think my time only mbII bremont is worth more thank 3k but for £2600 for a chronometer certified 7750 with gmt and a 100m wr hardened case and a seethrough caseback is really good value
Looks like a 38mm - it has the silver 12 o clock marker and a small indexes next to the date.

That strap is a shocker!

As to whether Bremont are worth the money, I shall refrain from that discussion!

I have the white 37 and absolutely love it. It feels a really high quality item to me. When i bought mine I got an additional brown strap thrown in and I believe they were £180. If you hade the beacelet as well (£500) you have all the options for a perfect one watch.
Shame about that strap but as you can tell I am a huge fan.
Cheers now, Paul

Perfect fit for these two:

I'd agree with Downer above, bit of a shocker by the AD. Hard to understand presenting a watch like that.

When I see pictures of your wife’s 37 with the rose numerals and hands I sometimes wish I had gone for that rather than the steel. Both lovely though

I think all versions of this watch are equally stunning - the other that I am aware of has a rose bezel as well as numerals / hands. She has a selection of watches but I would say the Bremont is her favourite.

I wouldn't pay £3k for it either but the good news is you can pick them up for half that lightly used. I must say, mine does feel every bit like a £3k watch.
The 37 is a much rarer beast. I could grab the 43 with bracelet for £1800, but I don't want the 43.

And as for feeling like a £3k a watch - thank you for your opinion and defence of Bremont. We obviously have different ideas on what a watch costing £3k should be.
It seems I offended you. I was trying to inject humor and give you the same confidence in the watch that I have. If you get that bent out of shape, I'll shut my mouth in future.
Sorry, I was having a little strop. Reading it back now, my response was unjustified :oops:
