Re: Bremont Waterman
I don’t like the blue markers. I like the bezel, though.

Re: Bremont Waterman
Even with the markers, I bet it would look good in the flesh.
It's a beautiful world! Gerald.
Re: Bremont Waterman
not bad, don't love the price - I like S501 better as I wouldn't use the GMT...

Re: Bremont Waterman
Bremont ran out of new designs.
Re: Bremont Waterman
I agree, blue markers not good.
Give it dark blue outlines hands and dial, BWG9 lume. Then ideal.

Re: Bremont Waterman
Will probably look better in some real wrist shots but I'm not overstruck on it from that pic.
Re: Bremont Waterman
Regardless of the new colorway as much as I do like Bremont the 2 o’clock crown is awkward.
This blue and white combo is doing blue and white wrong.

Re: Bremont Waterman
Looks good minus as everyone mentioned solid blue markers. And I still can't get past the framed date window that breaks up the circle
Re: Bremont Waterman
I don't like anything about it. And I've owned several SM500's that I actually wore for a while. Maybe I'm just a fanboy gone ex fanboy.
Re: Bremont Waterman
Generally I love white-dialed divers, and love the blue-on-white aesthetic (like the Aqua Terra GoodPlanet) but this one misses the mark for me. I think the non-luminescent matte blue markers is where it comes up short for me.
Re: Bremont Waterman
I actually really dig this, and I'm not normally a fan of the S500 style supermarine. This is still far too big for me, but if they did one smaller I'd be down.
Re: Bremont Waterman
i saw some real life pics of it ( like the first one below) and it looked better than these stock pics.
Re: Bremont Waterman
Tried it on last night, found it to be surprisingly pretty great. Don't love the kevlar strap – seems like actual water use would degrade it pretty quickly. If they really wanted a conservation-minded tie-in, they shoulda made the strap out of recycled fishing nets or some shit. Either way, pretty nice looking. They should have kept it to two colors (blue and white) if I had anything I'd change about it.

Re: Bremont Waterman
I still don’t love it, but it looks much better than the original photos.

Re: Bremont Waterman
This definitely looks better in Eric‘s pics, but it’s not my favorite offering from Bremont.
