Bremont S2000 http://i494.photobucket.com/albums/rr308/watchnerd/S2000_beach_zps59cfe0a0.jpg Shot !!! Phhht. Stolen from online article of course http://gearpatrol.com/2013/02/28/underwater-with-the-bremont-supermarine-2000/ (that was a nice review though :lol:) I'm allowed to since it's my article...

Bremont S2000

Was in Zurich for the launch and got to handle the watch and interview the watchmaker. Amazing work. Here it is on my wrist: http://i494.photobucket.com/albums/rr308/watchnerd/386BF7AB-C4FC-46E1-ABC9-4726CE340FD2-2334-0000007613553E37_zps7ac79fc5.jpg And here's a quick video I shot of it running: ww...

I kind of doubt a tachymetre calibrated for 300kph car speeds had any relevance to a spacecraft traveling at 17,000mph.

Thanks, guys. The S2000 is an incredible watch... and the Out Islands are an amazing place. I'll be back.

I put together a short video from my week diving in the Bahamas. We stayed on the outermost island, San Salvador, where Columbus allegedly made first landfall in the New World. Pretty remote but utterly beautiful. It may be my new favorite diving destination. We saw reef sharks on every dive and a c...

I'm reviewing an early Bremont Supermarine 2000 in the Bahamas Out Islands... First wrist shot:

Quick screen grab from the GoPro: http://i494.photobucket.com/albums/rr308/watchnerd/96BE677A-AB16-4613-B6CB-8F0487AE7BED-1163-0000008D1161D00B_zps35ce2d5d.jpg Packed and ready to go home... no drysuit diving for me for a few months now. I'm ready for some warm water! http://i494.photobucket.com/alb...

Took the new Bremont bad boy under 20 inches of ice this weekend... Lotta work for not much time underwater but it was fun. Couple of photos from the scene. Underwater pics forthcoming. http://i494.photobucket.com/albums/rr308/watchnerd/3641702E-8AE3-44CC-B5A8-A4D5030E90F7-1163-000000385BD6C169_zps0...

Lotsa love here, buddy! My goal is to the entire DWC membership on Gear Patrol payroll by the end of the year.

Thanks for all the kind words, guys. I enjoyed writing that article. It's the human stories behind watches that I love. Now... is anyone interested in buying my GMT-Master? (I'm only half kidding.)

I hear the price tag is going to be north of 6K ...closer to 6.5K on the strap.

$5900 actually. And to be honest, this stands up favorably with any Aquatimer I've ever owned.

Prototype on my wrist... First impressions are good. It's a beast but a sexy beast. Typical Bremont quality. I'm taking it ice diving this weekend and to the Bahamas next weekend to see how shes does when wet. http://i494.photobucket.com/albums/rr308/watchnerd/D5E3E12A-203F-4D23-81AB-04A040899597-29...

Price seems suspiciously too good... If its legit, would make the ultimate beater PAM. Paul, it's got your name all over it.

Straight from IWC's mouth, it's an ETA 2892.

I had a chance to fondle and try on most of the new lineup at SIHH this week. Here are some wrist shots... 40mm Auto: http://i494.photobucket.com/albums/rr308/watchnerd/1E89F8E0-E6AD-4508-AFCB-2C8F0514ADC9-3080-000000AAF83D0844.jpg Dual Time: http://i494.photobucket.com/albums/rr308/watchnerd/EF8E30...

Helmut Sinn's own 142 (with the proper Lemania motor) is for sale here for a decent price:

My wife dives with her 37.5mm Planet Ocean Chrono, and also has a Rolex Oyster Perp and a Nomos Club handwound. Wait, that's a better collection than mine! She takes some mean watch photos too:

Just posting because we haven't had a Panerai forum post in the New Year yet and I'm loving the camera on the iPhone 5. I went out for a few k's of XC skiing today and wore the 112. http://i494.photobucket.com/albums/rr308/watchnerd/8E5AAF26-5921-4EA9-A9A5-6F363B20D758-11405-000002AE04B8FECD.jpg OK,...
