Bremont ALT1-WT World Time Watch
For all intents and purpose this new Bremont ALT1-WT is the commercial version of the exclusive Bremont C-17 Globemaster watch that I discussed here. While the C-17 (C17) Globemaster was not to be available for public purchase, the ALT1-WT will be. The watch takes the brand's signature aviator style and adds a world time bezel and GMT indicator into the mix of complications.

One is an homage watch that pays tribute to one of the most iconic Submariners ever made, and the other is a beefy tool diver with design cues taken from a few different classic Subs.Specifically, the Vintage model refers to the Submariner Ref. 6538, which was a model from th

Blue
This is the best shade of blue I have seen on this watch. Mind blown. I had to take a picture. Sorry for the huge picture. Im on my phone.

Hacking Panerai movements
Another silly question.......................Is it possible to hack the movement of a Panerai, specifically the P.9000 and P.2003, to stop the seconds hand at 12 o'clock?When setting my watches after a period of not wearing them, I like to set them to the exact time. Not a deal breaker but curious
