Re: Proportions

Great question for a Saturday! It's this C65 for me I think. I'd got used to 44mm cases when they were a thing 10 to 15 years ago, and I love the ones I have but there's no doubt they are a little on the large side for me. This 40mm (I think it is, I just went to the CW website to check but couldn't...

Re: Interview with new Bremont CEO

I was interested by this paragraph: "As for Bremont’s founders Nick and Giles English, Cerrato says that they will always be the originators and, although no longer operational, are key advisors who are 100 per cent on board with all of the changes." I'd noticed Nick and Giles were less pr...

Re: Bell & Ross BR X5 - lumed limited edition

Not for me! What's happened to Bell & Ross recently?

This particular one is in the "costs alot of money to look that cheap" category imho.

Re: Bremont bracelet question

Thanks for the information @iain.

I can't see endlinks sold separately on the Bremont website atm.

Good point about the polished v brushed finish too.

Hmmm, I think I'll give it a miss. I've a couple of CWs on (quick release) bracelets so will wear those and leave the Bremont on leather I think.

Bremont bracelet question

Does anyone know if the bracelet for a Bremont Solo also fits the ALT1-C?

There's a Solo bracelet on eBay (with the old logo!) but it's a costly mistake if I get it wrong! The watches are the same case size as far as I can see.

Re: Brilliant Lego sets

On a technicality NOT lego, but Revell - Top Gun Maverick's F14A-Tomcat. I find these kits really fiddly and they drive me crazy. Good job my 10yo did this, not me!

Re: Resetting Chronograph

@tikkathree the pushers are screw down so they just look like that because they're unscrewed for use, mine looks the same :thumbup:

Re: Resetting Chronograph

And also, I like the strap - it seems to have curved ends that hug the case? One of your own straps or one from CW?

Yes, as @tikkathree says, assuming the chrono works, give it a longer run and see if that makes a difference.

Re: Resetting Chronograph

I have the same model. As in, if you press the pusher at 4 o'clock the orange seconds counting hand doesn't reset to 12?

I'd say that's back to CW for a fix.

Does the chronograph work otherwise?

And that random fact that the world's largest producer of tyres is not Pirelli or Michelin but Lego!
