Re: New Bremont LE Comet DH-88
Don't like the font, don't like the red hands, don't like the white date wheel against the off white sub dial.
Re: New Bremont LE Comet DH-88
nope.
and
hasn't the whole "this watch has one drip of jizz from some famous person's dick" fad run its course yet?
and
But unlike the ALT1, the Bremont Comet DH-88’s bright red rotor has been fitted with a small sampling of spruce plywood sourced from the undercarriage of the original race-winning aircraft.

Re: New Bremont LE Comet DH-88
I'm sure someone will pop in shortly to say why a jarring white date wheel is great against the cream subdial, on an $11,000 steel watch - but I think you're 100% correct. It looks like shit.james80 wrote:Don't like the font, don't like the red hands, don't like the white date wheel against the off white sub dial.

Re: New Bremont LE Comet DH-88
This watch is an LE and therefore will only be sold in small numbers. So it's not really worth the expense to manufacture a matching date wheel when there's an existing stock of white wheels - especially at this price point.JP Chestnut wrote:I'm sure someone will pop in shortly to say why a jarring white date wheel is great against the cream subdial, on an $11,000 steel watch - but I think you're 100% correct.

Re: New Bremont LE Comet DH-88
From what I understand Bremont "Collectors" have already put money down for the rights to own. I don't love it...
The original LE's: the P-51, EP 120, and Norton are still the best in my opinion...

Re: New Bremont LE Comet DH-88
How many LE's has Bremont came out with now? 100 maybe?

Jesus guys. It's been a feeding frenzy on Bremont lately. Honestly it's not for me though.

As for the notion of value, seriously? If that's what's driving someone in this hobby, then they can stick to Chinese-made micros and G-Shocks. If you're looking for an investment, buy real estate: if you're looking for a watch, buy what you like (and can afford) and wear what you buy. Honestly, it would be impossible for me to care less about the fact that I can buy X brand watch for less. Guess what? I don't want X brand watch, I want this one. And if you're only making 100, well then, I guess I'm going to have to pay what you're asking. Mind you, I'm currently broke, so I won't be buying one, but trust me, if I would I could.

Re: New Bremont LE Comet DH-88
not a fan...imo you'd be throwing your money away. seriously. you may not think so right now, and you may not think so ever...but Id think you did.
can you take this into the water? of course not, it's a pilots watch. these watches really don't have anything appealing to the eye. maybe the shit subdial is the 'best' of the group, but that's about it.
again, my opinion only...if you and your friends like them, then that's all that really counts.

Well, I'm clearly in the minority, but I quite like the looks. What I have a problem with is a steel watch with

Re: New Bremont LE Comet DH-88
In fairness, the original renderings and photos were unflattering, to say the least. I saw some photos of the actual watch and it looks great.lilhoody wrote:I'm with you, I love it.Dedalus wrote:Well, I'm clearly in the minority, but I quite like the looks.

Re: New Bremont LE Comet DH-88
I've handled it in person, and I'm sold (if I had the money ).
Pictures didn't do it for me either, but man, on my wrist... One of the nicest LE's they've done.

Adam

Re: New Bremont LE Comet DH-88
Great pictures, absolutely brilliant. Sometimes the washed out close up renderings kill the overall feel of the watch. Looking at it again I actually like the gold a bit. I've been thinking I would like a gold watch, but have no clue what would get in a somewhat reasonable price realm. I know that adds quite a bit to the price having a proper gold cased watch and by the time I got that far I think I may change my mind.
