Green watch goofing. Headed to Abu Dhabi via Dubai for another 5-6 weeks. Lord knows what sort of horological shenanigans I get into on this one.

Very cool!
Has been a little too crazy lately.
I get her an LV bag anytime I'm gone for more than a month
Very nice!
Mix it up with a Loewe or Delvaux some time. If she likes bags, she'll be impressed at your knowledge.

Would like to sell some of my wife's bags and shoes. Guessing we have the equivalent of 15-20 Rolex's in our closet. Maybe more than that.
What do y'all think of Bremont? Aviation and military themes, their partnership with Martin Baker (ejection seat manufacturer) is pretty cool. I considered buying one with the yellow and black striped ejection handle second hand but the harrier didn't have a MB seat so I passed

If you like their designs, then go for it. I like them but I find the prices to be a bit high considering they use off the shelf swiss movements.
My wife has one that she really liked the looks of.

Stopped into Bacendorf's at Dallas Galleria and they actually had a couple pieces available. However, nothing I wanted.

They make pretty good watches, but they're overpriced for what you get. I have a buddy who is a pilot (acrobatic joy riding not commercial) and they have a cult following among those guys.
Bremont rebranded with their new CEO, and that has not been well received. I don't think the new logo has been put on all of their watches, though. And the watch I was sort of interested in, the Broadsword, seems to have jumped $500 to $1,000 on their official website. I'm not sure what sort of justification they have for that, but unless it's an in-house movement I don't see how that will keep selling.
At some of those prices ($5Kish) it's a no brainer to go Omega, Tudor, or Grand Seiko instead.Quo Vadis? said:GAC06 said:

I like the look of them but can't speak to the guts of it like the other experts on here can. Price point sounds like it's high for that.
The "poor man's" Bruce Wayne. Absolutely love the look, love the titanium, love everything that Longines is doing right now.
I like it as well but was disappointed that it only comes in 39mm. When I looked at the stainless ones, 39mm was a bit too small for me. Hoping they offer the 42 for this one eventually.

Yes way too small for me as well unfortunately
New acquisition from FTAC

It's 47mm lug to lug which is slightly smaller than a BB58. 46 to 48 is where I've found my sweet spot, although my Zenith Chronomaster Open 39.5 that I'm wearing today wears extremely well at 45mm.
Yeah, i don't mind a 39mm normally. But for some reason the Zulu felt smaller than normal.
I guess it's good to have an excuse not to spend several thousand dollars on a watch.

I've felt that Longines was an underrated brand for a while now.

I like this in the 43mm
I keep eyeing this one in 41mm for a new "beach" watch.
I've been looking for a black sports watch I could pick up as something of a "beater". One of these on the used market would be in contention, if it wasn't for the orange.TarponChaser said:SPF250 said:

Current leader is a BB58 but I'm keeping my options open.
I dream of the day when I could think of buying a BB58 as a beater!
For a good looking black dive watch beater, it would be hard to beat an Aquis.
I'd push the budget a little more and get a Seamaster 300
My beater is a g shock 5610
That might be where I wind up going. I have a green one currently but it never gets wrist time so I'm trying to sell it.
Might go for a black one.
Somebody else mentioned a Seamaster 300 - I have one in blue. It's kind of my do-it-all watch when I'm wearing blue.
