Bremont ALT1-B2 GMT Chronograph Watch
With April now upon us, we can expect a flood of pre-BaselWorld announcements as brands look to elbow their way into the spotlight of the world-famous watch fair. Bremont, the British watch brand behind such recent hits as the Victory and the Supermarine S2000, have announced two new models including a blue version of their U-2 three-hander and a stealthy new chronograph called the ALT1-B2 GMT.The ALT1-B2 GMT is essentially a civilian version of the watch that Bremont designed in a partnership with a Missouri-based B2 Stealth Bomber crew in 2012 (seen above). The base platform is an ALT1-Z chronograph, with the ALT1-B2 employing the same 43 x 16mm hardened steel case, dial layout and BE54-AE movement. The BE-54AE is Bremont's COSC tested build of the ETA Valjoux 7750 with a GMT module and offers a 12 hour chronograph, a GMT/UTC hand, and a date display at three o'clock. Just like the ALT1-Z, the ALT1-B2 features a Roto-Click internal bezel with user control via a crown at eight o'clock

Polishing a Nautilus
Has anyone ever had their 5711 polished - case, bezel and/or bracelet by a PP service centre? What was your experience and how satisfied were you after getting back the watch? Was it good as new or were you able to tell that it was polished? Reason I'm asking is because we all know the 5711 is a scratch magnet and I've been very, very careful while wearing it - sometimes to the point where the fear of scratching it takes away the joy of wearing it. However, if I know that when it does get scratched up but I'll be able to bring the watch back to its original pristine condition - I'll be less paranoid and can really enjoy wearing it.

Happy Holidays ....
To all of the great friends in this great community ....I wish everybody a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. May the new year gives all of you all the best.I wish you & you great families all the best in 2014KhalidKSA

I like them equally the sameSilver:Distinguished from my black subcLooks bigger (I'm a 6'6 guy)Reflects different colorsCan buy it today (in stock)Blue:More elegant (imho) but close to the black dial subc??I tend to lean more towards darker colored dialsWill have to wait a couple of weeks to get it (not currently in stock which might be a reason maybe more poplular??)If you were to choose one, which one? And why?Which is more popular ?( since I really like them equally the same and would be equally happy with either )Does one keep its value more than the other?Thank you for helping a relative newbie
