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.

Another great heirloom story
So my father surprised me yesterday. I had asked if he still had my Grandfathers Rolex as I wanted to see it and perhaps share photos with you other Rolex nerds. Well he finally found it and long story short it has passed down one more generation. I don't know anything about it aside from my Grandfather was gifted it after he finished building the main hospital in Valetta, Malta in the 1950's If any of you know what model it is and value please chime in. Also i would like to have the movement checked out. It does run, after a couple turns of the crown but if the moment isn't A ok i don't want to cause damage.
