Just picked up my first "timepiece."

Coli brehs tell me what you think about this watch?





I always loved Tag heuer, and own 2 watches but I always wanted a limited edition one. This is a watch that tag did to benefit a organization for ocean research in Colombia.

Clean tag I like the aqua racer and graph pattern on the face looks sharp

They're a fairly new British company started by two brothers. They make some nice looking pilots and dive watches. But they're also pretty expensive if you're buying retail (Omega, Tudor prices).

Any particular model you're interested in?

MKII White

Aesthetics of this one caught my eye. Designs look on point but have no idea about reputation in mechanical watch world. Would retail for this be overpaying for the features, quality, etc?

It is good quality and has a decent/good reputation for a watch that was established in 2000s. They did a very good job branding and marketing it. They would make special editions just for armed forces/pilots to try to get their rep up.

But I would never buy a watch like Bremont retail. You won't be able to recoup even half if you ever decided to sell it. MKII white is not for sale used anywhere but other Bremonts are all half the price.

This one is $5995 retail, $2600 second hand.
ALT1-C Anthracite
FS: Bremont ALT1-C Anthracite Dial 43mm Chrono $2,600

$4995 retail, $2700 second hand.
MBII Black
FS: Bremont MBII - Excellent Working and Cosmetic Condition

So if you like a watch from a brand that's not strong you can really eat on the used market. Actually pretty much most brands, I bought a used Omega for $2800 that was going $6200 retail and then later sold it for $2800. But then I also got a Montblanc for half off but now can't even get close to that back So like @Heafcliffe said always be cognizant of the market.

If you go here you will get more information

What's the Deal With Bremont Watches?

Yeah it is a relatively new watch company.

For that price point, you can shop around with the more established brands.

Only way I'm giving up my smart watch is if I somehow get a Breitling. The airline club I was in earlier was showcasing 3 of them, had me like...but those 25k + prices...

If they were 25k then most likely he saw gold Navitimers.

@BonafideDefacto here's a second hand steel version for half the retail price. Also this seller has great reviews.

Breitling AB0121211 Navitimer

Been seeing Sinn as of late and, after looking at their design, I am not too sure why. Yes, they are very simple and clean.

Can you share why they carry the prestige?

Personally, looking at the Bulova Lunar Moon....
