    Bremont looks better. Their watches are cool but they are priced at a weird point. More than a Tudor, less than a Breitling or Omega but without the name recognition of any of those brands.

    Bremont likely needs to price slightly higher, due to R&D and manufacturing expenses for their varied catalog... Tudor is just Black Bay variants.

    Day late, and a slightly different execution, but I’m also time-zone ready

    1. Timex has been dropping some bangers lately. That's a good-looking watch.
    2. You will not be able to get your money back when you sell (assuming you bought it new.) I'd guess you can recoup 60% at best.
    3. Give it to someone new to the hobby and make a new watch enthusiast in the process :twocents:

    The last one was limited to 1000 while this one is 750. Color not as nice on the previous and it is reselling for $1500. I’ll be able to get my money back easily considering it cost 750

    Searched, didn’t find that I posted this previously although I did talk about it as far back as 2015.

    Just have this and the Prometheus GMT left from my micro dive days

    For many people interested in dabbling in dive watches, this is their first auto. The SKX007.

    Have had this for ~13yrs. Runs great.

    Was my first automatic watch purchase about 10 years ago. I had it in the blue/red color scheme.

    I was following the leader... & also find the steering wheel watch shots hilarious. I will say we all refrained from showcasing vehicle we're driving ( I was parked ), unlike our watch fan compatriots on Reddit.

    Was offered the gray/black in yellow gold.

    I liked it more than I thought I would, but I just bought a 60-year-old house, and that's like a new HVAC system or a new roof. I couldn't do it.

    Is this the Santos Dumont? I had been kicking around the idea of getting the white face with the blue accents. Love the 7mm thickness. How do you like the bracelet?

    :roll: I have many anti-Santos posts in this thread, based on having only tried on the large. The medium is just about perfect & I couldn't have been more wrong
