When you buy a new watch do you think of it in terms of...

WTF Is Bremont Thinking?

Firstly I'd like to say that I am not a Bremont hater, on the contrary, I am a fan of the brand. That's not to say I don't understand some of the hate...

Personally I've always been on the middle on this topic, but I'm starting to grow weary of playing the "find the right band game". What's your angle?

commented on Do you have more than 3 watches from a single brand in your collection? ·

I have about 7 #seiko watches atm, though 3 are for sale.

commented on My initial take on Bremont's radical reveal at Watches and Wonders 2024 ·

I agree that they may very well succeed in their goals, but I won't be along for the ride. And frankly, I don't think they want me to be. They seem to be shifting from an enthusiast brand to a more broad "adventure" brand. Targeting fashion watch owners to transition into the next step up.

It's funny, I always thought their Achilles heel were their prices, they always seemed a bit off. But now that they've slightly lowered their prices, they seem to be offering even less value. I always wondered what would have happened if they had just kept their existing lines and cut 15-20% off the prices. Guess we'll never know.

commented on 5 Reasons I’m Excited For The Decline of Mechanical Watches ·

Anecdotally I see more non smartwatches now more than I did before (pre pandemic). Though I have moved during that time, so it could be a regional thing.

commented on The fake Rolex problem ·

This is true. I automatically assume everyone I see wearing a Rolex has a fake on. But, that’s in part because of the circles I run in (non rich people) and because I know statistically for every 1 real Rolex sold there are 7 fakes sold. Almost makes me feel bad for real Rolex owners… almost 😅

commented on My first Grand Seiko! ·

Wow, that is a looker indeed. If they make it with a spring drive my wallet will be in trouble.

Original or homage?

Saw this on the SM website, is it an original design or a copy of a watch that I'm not familiar with?
