My Dad would be pissed I spent more than $50 on a watch.
BTW do you spend all day searching the interwebz for Bremont stuff to post? It's cute

Mine too. He would probably rethink letting me take over as the family trustee.

If I tried to do this to my dad, he would be pissed as well.
That I grew up to be a Bremont fanboi.

Silly Dad, it's supposed to be evocative of the brown streak a pilot leaves on the seat prior to ejecting to safety.

Pretty much.
Seriously, believe it or not there are other forums than DWC (though not 1% as good) and I frequent two Bremont ones from time to time; if there's cool stuff I post it here.

When he opened the pouch and said "oh this is excellent" I thought for sure he had no idea what the gift was. :D Great video though, and likewise, if I ever gave my dad a watch that wasn't quartz or cost more than $50, he'd be trying to slip me a C-note any way he could.

I want to hear more from the guy who can't figure out if shitty lume application is a feature or a flaw. Please report back any findings.

I gave my Dad a Bernhardt Globemaster and my Step-father a Seiko smbc023, they were both super stoked by them

Well done Terry. My dad loved watches - I wish I'd given him one.

Can't really see any reason to shit in this thread, but to each their own.
Cool vid, and an even cooler gesture.

PS - My dad stole my original Swiss Army Watch (remember those), and wore it until he died, the jerk.

I thought the video was weird. At first it seemed like the old guy had no clue what was even happening.
I've never video taped myself giving a present, but then again I don't even have Facebook.
