ATG Forums

 

The idea of forums is for people to meet discuss and share ideas about watches, old new, blue, green anything! The site is largely for chronograph enthusiasts, but that does not mean that you cannot post about other types of watches just as long as they are interesting in their own way. Discuss ‘Off topic’ subjects not relating to the watch world and post your pictures too See Forum Guide for advice.

THE FORUMS ARE NOW READ ONLY; The New ATG Forums have arrived!  Please re-register on the new forum to begin posting.

He talks about the design of the Bremont watches...

Yes it's amazing what you can find on the internet nowadays........

Been swimming everyday for a week with the Bremont and the leather strap shows no signs of wear and tear. Suprising really as it gets a blast in the steam room after....

Glad to hear it can take it.

Hi, first time poster on here due to just discovering Bremont.

I cant drop a few thousand quid on a watch at the moment so my IWC fund has now become my Bremont fund and all things being equal I should get my hands on one come the new year.

Im just wondering after watching the Interview with Giles English if the shots of the Spitfire and then cutting back to the watch are some kind of media advert as IWC have done with John Malkovich.

 

Cheers

Cant decide yet.

The ALT1-C panda is a lovely watch. Had mine for a while now and can't seem to go a day without wearing it. Not sure you'll get much change out of your IWC fund tho...

MDM - tried to send a PM, but doesn't appear to be possible.
I'm sure Al can sort you out with the model you need, and you'll be wearing one in no time. I was going to post about a get together in London over next few weeks. Might be able to see a few Bremonts in person then?

Go the ALT1-C Panda - it'll be just you, me, Mat, Orlando and King Juan Carlos who know the secret...oh and probably a few other erudite souls.

Only potential difference between me, you, OB and King JC of Spain is that you have the original version with black date wheel. Not that I'm jealous in any way...

Dave's being an earlier model may have another difference...
Cool photo's of a great looking watch.
