Bremont Watch Company: Time To Take A Closer Look?
We watch enthusiasts are generally a pretty solid and reasonable bunch, but we aren't perfect. Aside from the general oddity that stems from being as passionate as we are about mechanical timekeeping, this passion sometimes gets the better of us. Occasionally, we go straight for the kill if we feel that our sensitivities have been tickled the wrong way. This type of behavior (for the sake of simplicity, let's just call it drama) is by no means limited to this sphere of the collector world, but it does seem really intense at times, with all of the passionate forum conversations and commentary about horology. Whether it is quartz vs. digital, smart vs. analog, a polarizing new design, or the misuse of subjective terminology, things can get heated quickly, and truths are often lost. After all, there are three sides to every story��A recent brouhaha involving Bremont Watch Company has thrown this opinionated side of the collecting hobby into stark relief. Ultimately, we strive to be informe

Bond's Watch in Spectre

The right stuff
Over the last few months I've been doing a slight adjustment to my collection with the idea of looking for a few pieces with historical significance.While I've had a few Speedmasters in the past, for one reason or another they've moved on to new homes. As I re-thought my collection I realized any collection of watches with significant impact in the sports/professional community should include such an iconic piece.I went for the standard hesalite moon watch to represent the Speedmaster professional side of the house as, for me, this is the reference that represents all that is legendary about Omega's Speedmaster series. It sure helped that my AD was so accomodating.Sooo,....a few quick shots of the newest member of my little group.

Tudor Black Bay SG - winding and date change
Hi FriendsTwo quick questions in respect of my Tudor Black Bay SG. Shall highly appreciate the responses from the very knowledgeable people here:(1) When I wind the watch, there is a clicking noise on the crown winding after every 5 or 6 winding turns? Is it normal and why does it happen?(2). The instant date change happens at about 12.08 am daily. On my other watches, the date change is latest by 12.04 am. Is such a late date change normal?

Biggest Rolex Store in US Has No Sports Models
So, I walk into the massive Rolex boutique in NYC this afternoon, the one that’s in the same building that houses the U.S. Rolex headquarters .... and not one steel sports model was available, and only a couple of yellow gold models. No Subs of any sort, no Deep Seas, GMTs, no Explorers or IIs, and of course no Daytonas or the new SD. Nothing. Just hundreds of other models, such as DJs, DDs, and women’s watches. Sales rep told me they won’t get any more until after Christmas. Not sure if that’s BS or not, but it seems insane that the stock at the biggest store/dealer in the U.S., which I believe is run by Wempe, doesn’t have any basic sports models heading into the holiday buying season. I knew this was going on in Europe, but I assumed you could still get a steel Sub, for example, with relative ease at a dealer. I assume it’s like this elsewhere across the U.S. Go figure.
