MakemineVanilla Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 The Bremont issue this week has been fun to observe. In short, they released a new watch which they claimed contained their first "in house" movement. It had no such thing, which prompted a hilariously bad (imho) back tracking video on Youtube. I'd rather buy a Sekonda Seksi watch than a Bremont, to be honest. Didn't Tagheuer do the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People found out easily by basically disassemble of the movement. Hilarious statement from the CEO. Only vintage Heuer would I buy. One of the Monaco Steve McQueen.

CVByrne Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Anyway, while I eat my sushi. I visited Vacheron Constantin Boutique on Bond Street just there. Exceptionally nice people. Looked at everything and I'm really taken by the Dual Time. It looks superb in the leather strap. The Overseas Chronograph is just a tad too bulky imo. Shave 2mm off the case thickness and you're golden. I think black dial looks the best of the Chronos. While I've no love for the 41 mm royal Oak. Had a look at that after Vacheron. On a side note. The American 1921, I will own that at some point. What a truly unique and beautiful thing that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried the blue dial one on in Wempe and it looked amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) Yes same case size but dual time is stainless steel and titanium and on leather strap. Chrono is on bracelet and the bracelet is thick, so overall it's a shade bigger than my perfect size (6.75 wrists). I'll enjoy the Dual Time and get an OS Chrono somewhere down the line. 39mm blue dial Royal Oak is next on hit list, or possibly the rose gold if I am offered a good contract and take the job with this new consultancy.

lapal_fan Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Cv - is that a Casio? I got one of them but mine has a light on it, so it's probably a bit better than yours. But you never know, you might be able to get one off eBay if you're lucky! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoughboroughLion Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Really love the look of these watches as an everyday watch:http://www.mvmtwatches.com Can't decide witch one to get. It's between black leather strap and white face or black on black metal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrinityRoadSteps Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Has anyone seen or considered buying a Slow Watch. I have been thinking about it and just wondered if anyone had experience of them as it's an unusual concept Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zak Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) Has anyone seen or considered buying a Slow Watch. I have been thinking about it and just wondered if anyone had experience of them as it's an unusual concept I like the concept but think realistically you will just squint at your watch to see what the exact time is anyway Edited September 17, 2014 by zak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrinityRoadSteps Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I think they wouldn't be much good if you need to know the exact exact time. But I do like the idea of just knowing a rough time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risso Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 Can someone give their opinion on the Parmigiani watch donated to Greg Dyke? It was a special edition Pershing: http://blog.parmigiani.ch/content/beat-goes-pershing-cbf Not nearly as bad as the Hublot monstrosity that was part designed by erm, Roy Hodgson's son, but I'm not a fan of sports/watch tie-ins in general. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
