Two new ones landed
A little late with the show and tell but I got the Solo for myself for Christmas and liked it so much I bought the ALT1-C a couple of days later.
Packaging is pretty slick with the leather case and strap changing tool, extra strap slots and accompanying paperwork well organized.
Love the way the light picks up on the raised markers at 3/6/9 and on the 5 min markers on the chapter ring. Subtle but enough to make you smile
If Michelangelo made lugs, they would look like these
Love the Strong Blue Lume on the numbers
OEM Nubuck works well, too....versatile watch
Then this one came in with the cream dial.....oh my, Jae was right, this could be the one, but we've heard that before.....
Sub dial details
the new pair getting along - nice SNPR strap on the Solo

Re: Two new ones landed
thanks everyone - they are both well made and comfortable - not comfortable as in it doesn't bother me to wear but comfortable as in, they actually feel good to wear.
Nick, I'll bring them next time we get together - if I can keep them long enough

Re: Two new ones landed
Bremont rocks, and you've got two great ones there. (for some reason, I thought you'd picked up an MBII, but I realize it was a Solo)

Re: Two new ones landed
The cream dial is indeed lovely. The black dial is great, too, wonderful 3-hander, elegant and tough at the same time
Blue should be next I guess, probably a U2 blue, a blue Supermarine or even maybe a blue World Timer??
either way the quality is unquestionable

I agree, you get a ton of watch for the money from this company, and the great CS is the icing on top.rockmastermike wrote:The cream dial is indeed lovely. The black dial is great, too, wonderful 3-hander, elegant and tough at the same time

It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong
