Bremont C17 Globemaster Watch
Here is a nice new piece from Bremont that you can't get. Bremont will produce these C17 Globemaster watches for a select group of "pre-selected" military personnel to get one - basically for one squadron as I understand it. The pieces will be highly limited as well. Each Bremont C17 Globemaster will be limited to just 50 pieces, and it comes in a few versions if I understand correctly.The watch is meant to honor the high-tech C17 cargo plane. I don't think there was ever a cooler looking cargo plane than the C17 Globemaster III. This is probably one of the most modern planes that a watch has been based on. Usually it is a historic plane that gets the "timepiece treatment." Bremont, a primarily aviator watch brand, is said to have worked closely with C17 pilots in developing the watch.Not sure about the size but I would guess in the 43mm wide range.

what's my 000 worth?
hi guys, I'm considering divesting my 000 in order to finance a grail, what is a fair value for it? first letter of the serial is J, was purchased ~2007 from the officine in florence. Crystal has a tiny chip between 12 and 1, and the lugs could use a polish from where i've (clumsily) changed straps :P I still have full B+Ps, OEM brown and black straps (~65% and 85% respectively), the OEM rubber, and a gunny 74. thx!

To consolidate, or not to consolidate?
I've been reading how members have been consolidating and I also have been thinking the same.Stopped by the bank today and took a quick pic. In an ideal world I would rotate on a regular basis, but I just don't make the effort to frequent the bank, and will end up wearing the same watch for months on end. I started out as a one watch owner, but this forum is like an all-you-can-eat buffet, and then started collecting but I dont think I'm a collector at heart.Every time I think I'm going to depart with one of these watches, I then have a hard time...but I'm coming around. Lately I've been thinking of selling a couple to fund a PM piece, but then not sure if thats real prudent, as you can see they're all out of production, and additionally all are full sets except for the bart and speedy (145.022-69).Oh, and extra vintage bezel inserts, and bracelets not pictured. geez. lol.Anyone have similar story as to how it pains them to see their beauties squirreled away??Sent from my SM-G920V usin
