Is this a sleeper GMT?

I don't trust and will not support Bremont since they outright lied (and got caught doing it) about their first purportedly "in-house" movement - the BWC/01 (really a re-badged La Joux-Perret).  See: https://monochrome-watches.com/bremont-wright-flyer-story-bad-communication-in-house-movement/

My own hangups about Bremont aside, this particular Bremont is based on the ubiquitous ETA 2893-2/Sellita SW330-1.  As such, it's a caller GMT movement in that watch, and Bremont is seeking to charge virtually the same amount that (actually $20 more) Tudor wants for the Black Bay GMT for the watch.  To be fair, it is a COSC certified version of the movement, but it still has the usual drawbacks, including the 38 hour power reserve.  There's nothing inherently wrong with this piece per se -- it's just that you can get a watch with essentially the same movement and functionality for between $500-600 from the likes of Steinhart and Glycine with similar WR ratings, and for the money that they're asking, you could get a Tudor Black Bay GMT with a traveler's (aka "true") GMT movement (also COSC chronometer certified) with the same 28000 vph beat rate and a 70 hour power reserve and a 200M WR rating, or save $1K and get a Longines Spirit Zulu with the same functionality as the Tudor, but a reduced 25200 vph beat rate and only 100M of WR.

Yeah, way too much for that movement. 

Not really into luxury watches but looks nice

It’s a nice GMT, but sadly the gilt Monta Skyquest exists For much less, granted we’re waiting on the V2 to be released.

Stylistically, it's not my favorite.  I don't particularly like the dive bezel on a GMT but that's personal taste, not anuthing close to objective fact.

The caller GMT thing doesn't bug me much nor does the price but I would certainly shop around given the competition in the price bracket.   You might find something you like just as much for a lower price.  Then again, you might not.

Value is important when you're buying toilet paper or vacuum cleaners. Watches are a heart thing so if it speaks to you, don't listen to us idiots, go for it.

Get a Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight and call it a day

Buy a CW GMT and you'll have a lot of change left over and a great watch

The James Stacey watch! 

I don't have anything against it! Definitely find a Diver GMT to be best of both worlds, and you don't see that combination too often, even though as mentioned earlier it wouldn't be hard to do. 

I never had a Bremont in hand so ic ant judge on quality but I like how it looks! For the price not sure it would be the GMT I'd want. 

It lacks date complication

I thought these were over 42mm, no? 

The CW are 39mm, if that’s what your asking 

too much for that movement.

for a GMT it has really tiny GMT Hour lettering.

i could not read them without reading glasses.

I like it, particularly the dive bezel. In-house movements are overrated in my opinion as a selling point due to serviceability costs and reliability. Some big brand in house GMT movements have been known to have quality issues. Keep in mind that movements come in a variety of grades and prices.

As to power reserve, this is a bigger issue to some than others. It does not matter to me unless it has a moon phase or some other complication that is a pain to set. Even then, it doesn’t really matter because I put those on watch winders.

Just wanted to give you some counter point to the spec sheet gripes in the thread. And in all fairness to those griping, you specifically asked for them to gripe about the watch.

It’s a good watch. If you like it and it’s a good value to you, go for it. 

Your last sentence encapsulates the real issue here.  This watch is not really a good value proposition, no matter how you slice it.  There are equivalent options out there and available for far less money, which effectively destroys any value proposition of this piece.

Essentially what everyone else said, except- I DO like the dial design very much, the angling, the minimalist style- yes! But, way too expensive. 

If you’re looking for value, get a Casio. 

I was referring to value in terms of an automatic GMT.

I really liked this when I tried it on, but I do have issues with their pricing 

It's a looker for sure.  Had it been issued at a far lower price, I doubt I'd have any issues with it, regardless of the fact that it's from Bremont.

the lug to lug is very very long, weird

So let me get this straight… Bremont fakes having an in house movement to build false brand equity then prices it’s entire catalog as if it actually earned that brand equity?  Did I get that right?

Bremont‘s TRIP-TICK case design / construction is very weird… so make sure you know what the watch looks like from the side… because the top down view is deceiving.

I've had mine for almost a year and besides maybe a day or two it's all I've worn. Tough as nails, and bezel is great, and a total strap monster 

I like the added GMT function but a few weeks ago I had the realization it's a dive watch and not a GMT, it has a caller GMT function but is mostly a diver which a nice added feature 

As far as value proposition, that's probably more personal. For me it has the perfect intersection of size, function, has painted indices which I value a lot, minimal dial text, and can be serviced almost anywhere if needed, also got a discount when I bought it 

My wife has a Broadsword as well, great watches and haters gonna hate 

Lovely underrated piece. I have one of these coming this summer, albeit in a Special Project guise that I / we designed for our group. Very excited, I'll probably wear it on a metal bracelet as I already have a couple of other Bremonts on straps.
