^^^ Cheers Patrick. It does look good I have to admit.

Congrats. It's a really versatile watch and can be dressed up or down with a simple strap change. I love mine.

Could I ask where you got that strap from please, Phil?

I only have one other watch with an inner rotating bezel, the Dan Henry 1970, and it doesn't ratchet. I just started watch collecting so I can't say one way or another if there is ever one that ratchets. I'm in the US and I was afraid I'd have to pay duties but they did not reach out and just deliv...

I am interested in this. I hope the internal bezel has a firm rotation to it. I remember my C11 elite having an internal bezel and it was very loose. Only 1 way to find out I guess.. For a directional inner bezel, I'd imagine it would be loose. Will find out when I get mine today. Can't wait! :D Wi...

Wish I’d never sold mine - had XWing fighter with battle damage stickers and Millenium falcon, along with loads of figures. Sold them at a car boot sale years ago to get some beer money for the weekend!

I guess like everyone ....i like what i like....and thats about it

Exactly how it should be - you buy it for you not anyone else

My White dial Bremont says hi

Thanks guys for the mostly positive comments, and those that are of course personal opinions too..😀 @tigerchris....i didn't try the airco on because i was looking for a white dial watch, i already have a blue faced omega and a black faced omega and a cw mk3 trident gmt... I wore it today for the fi...

I don’t think that looks bad at all but personally, I’d grab the bracelet for it from CW. I have no experience with the new QR bracelets but have had 3 of their bracelets in the past, all with on the fly ratchet adjustment. CW bracelets, to me, represent great value for money - they really do punch ...

Very nice looking watch and Bremont's always look very well put together. I tried a Solo 37 before and found it too small for me, the 43mm would be too large. Pity they don't do a 40mm! The white hands look fine to me, edged with black. Maybe you should try one, Patrick? I don’t own a 44mm Panerai ...

I enjoy my watches but sticking pictures of movements on the wall? Nah, that’s taking it too far for me I’m afraid.

Great buy and great attitude - a man after my own heart I wish you hadn’t snuck the Airco Mach 3 next to it in the pic though, I’ve not long convinced myself I don’t need one and now you’ve got me thinking ‘maybe I do’ again!

Out of interest did you try the Mach3 on?

I think a black dial is more sporty, a white dial is more dressy, and at the same time more beautiful. ^^^ Chris makes a good point though, but legibility depends on the colour of the hands. I have a couple of white dials with white hands and they can be a challenge to read as one. I don’t know why...

I’d stay clear of the white dial due to legibility personally.

The discussion regarding white dials has got me thinking about this - more 'fantasy' than 'what would i like CW to design next' I know, however, here we go! I would like the new 40mm Trident 'light catcher' case with wave dial, Chr. logo or twin flags applied at 12 (not bothered which as long as the...
