I think every other sub forum on every major board has a similar running thread. Post some pics of your Bremonts, gents...

This reminds me that I need to take some better photos

Both sold now, but fondly remembered

The VERY RARE MB 1.5 - only 20 in existence

Special engraved case back for the ATG Forum, yellow second hand & yellow indices on the internal bezel like the MB 1

One and ONLY

I've only owned one and it wont be my last.

jimyritz · Post by **jimyritz** » Sat Feb 15, 2014 7:49 am

had the SM and it was just Ok---hated the strap..

Had the Alt 1-C--liked this one but short strap was to short..

the MB2 was the first and best-- this one I went custom Greg Stevens.

wish the standard straps weren't so long....but I could see myself owning another if the pricing
doesn't go sky high...

Gawd I need an MBII.

I agree with Mike. For a company with maybe the best OEM straps in the biz, the supermarine strap is a massive disappointment.

Tried to get a better "off the balcony" pic this morning

Really? I don't mind the rubber strap

it is a touch too long (she didn't say that) but I find it comfortable.

Maybe I need to finally put the bracelet on

As far as the watch, I think it's beautifully crafted. From the shape of the lugs, bezel, crown guard, and applied indices to the case, textured dial. Yeah, I love this watch.

Part of it is the fact that Bremont's other straps (leather, canvas, and Temple Island) are so nice. I just find the supermarine strap not very attractive in comparison. It pales next to an isofrane and many other OEM rubber straps.

I love the updated supermarine strap. Fits the watch perfectly with the dial design. I wore my blue sm500 pretty much exclusively on rubber.

Damn, I want another.

Strangely, I do not like their curved end leather straps at all. Far too thick and I think curved but non-fitted ends look great when laid flat for pics but silly on the wrist. JLC MC rubber straps - same deal.

+1.. I hate the curved end links, wish they were straight..I have to try that Temple Island rubber strap...

Flying close formation with the DC66...

Is it just me, or do these offerings just crush their respective competition from IWC? For me, that's hard to say since I am a Schaffhausen koolaid drinker, but IMO it's a fact. MBII> IWC MarkXX, and DC66>IWC Flieger Chrono

I don't know how I haven't owned a Bremont yet.

Here's mine:

At least until they ask for it back.

Which model tickles your fancy? Me, I'm a Supermarine/MBII guy.

I'm thinking the S2000 might work well for me.

I'm surprised by how many don't like the supermarine rubber. I find it to be one of the most comfortable rubber straps I've owned. Especially when compared to say a PAM rubber that just never seems to loosen up the way I would like it to.

Matt, didn't you have a P51 at one point?
That watch is one hot watch with more unique design features that are out together extremely well. I'd like to own one at some point.

I like the Bremont rubber as well David. I think it only works well on larger wrists. Supposedly the new one is even better.

Can't wait to get my replacement supermarine rubber.....
