I have the ice blue myself and generally like it. I thought it might be a bit small as I have a 7 1/4" watch, but I am quite happy with how it looks on my wrist. The only shortcoming it has is that the legibility is not as good as I would like given the light blue with the silver hands and markers.
Maybe it is just me but it seems that Bremont is a brand that very few are paying attention to. I rarely see any coverage of it in the watch press and frankly see very few people talking about it at all. Am I right or am I just not paying attention myself?
I have a bronze Eagle ray that I got about 4 years ago. It came from the factory with a black rubber tropic style band, and a black and a light brown leather strap. Frankly I think it looks best on the leather and I wear it almost exclusively o the brown leather. So yeah, go for the leather!
So I think you are referring to Marshall from Wristwatch Revival. I have been watching his videos for a couple of years now and have always felt him to be a straightforward guy.
He does make a point to say that he is always learning and that he has plenty to learn still, a mark of a generally honest man.
Perhaps what has you thinking he learned everything in 6 months is that he took a course from the Wristwatch Repair Channel that was the major source of his initial training, and that may have taken anout 6 months. Either way I think he presents an interesting and entertaini g series of videos about watchmaking.
I would loved to have gotten one of the originals with the misprinted dials as it would have been a unique piece down the road. However, it is a good looking piece...congratulations.
