Will you be adding a Bremont this year? Which?

mattjmcd · Post by **mattjmcd** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 8:55 am

It's no secret that I'm a supporter of Bremont. Basel 2014 seems to have been an absolute breakout for them. My only issue is the great selection of new options. I've been bugging them for an MBIII for 4+years now. Well, they have finally obliged but they've complicated things by making the Terra Nova. In the end I suspect I will add an MB GMT, but it'll be a tough decision for sure.

How about you guys? Any sense of whether or not you will pull the trigger on one of the new models?

I really want to try a Terra Nova. I already love the Supermarine case, but making it in Ti and adding a complication is fantastic.

of the newer ones I'd like to try the MBIII GMT or a Boeing Chrono - but I already have two Bremont chronos so probably moreso the MBIII GMT

of the existing models I still need to try a s500.

I'd probably do something stupid to get another squadron watch. I am fascinated by these.

I have the Alt1c black and really like that
MBIII with the bronze barrell. I also
like the white dial Boeing's...very cool.
So hopefully one of those...

Bremont's just killing it; my only concern
is pricing.,

Yeah, the pricing holds me back. Especially for a young brand like Bremont.

How much are the new Boeing chronos supposed to be?

Panerai7 · Post by **Panerai7** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 9:58 am

Yes, will add a black M1 3-hand or a Chrono depending on their street price.

I'd love a white dial Bremont Boeing Model 1, but I'm guessing these will have an MSRP of around $6k and that puts them out of reach.

jimyritz · Post by **jimyritz** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 10:16 am

I think the non chronos around $5500.
Chronos are over 6k..

OOk, someone should get a Bremont dealer in the pocket with 30% off

Yes and yes

I have recently added a black SM500 and Alt1-Z which I'll have next week(will it be too busy for me? Had to try it though.) Bremont does Chronos very well in general.

In the future I see adding the new Boeing but have yet to decide which

Chrono or 3-hander?
Black or white? I was definite on black but the more I see photos of the white Chrono the more I like it and I have so many black dials

We have a GTG in Greenville with Mike Pearson this summer so I hope to try them on. Seeing them in the metal should help with the decision it so I hope

Panerai7 · Post by **Panerai7** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 10:45 am

Yep pretty excited about that GTG, they'd better have both Boeing models

I think a blue SM500 for me.

I'd love to add a diver or Terra Nova. Whether it'll happen is another story.

marchone · Post by **marchone** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 11:10 am

I would if I could then the Alt1-B would be the one for me. Time, small seconds, date, 24-hour hand, internal elapsed time bezel, chrono function, and DLC. It's a great do-it-all watch.

I can't agree with you more. I fell for this big time last night.

Sorry for the crappy pics.

You have to pay the iron price.

Could be the picture, but it looks enormous on your wrist.

The iPhone has a around 30mm lens, when you do close ups with it, it exaggerates the perspective and makes things look bigger. I understand Adam has used this effect extensively to his advantage in his snapchats.

From what I understand, the Terra Nova is essentially the same size as the SM500, which wears really well on my wrist (same size as Barry's):

It is 43mm so they did not change the case size from the Supermarine 500. The phone is very close to my wrist to try and fight the bar lighting, so it does change the perspective. (my wrist is 6.5 inches) if you look at the case back pic, the lugs do slope downward and there was no lug over hang.

The Ti case material made this feel amazing. By the way this is an LE of 300. I don't recall the MSRP but I think Mike commented that it will be within hundreds of the Supermarine which is impressive considering the case material and GMT function.
