Bremont a New Contender? This or That?
Hi All,
I've been slowly learning more and more about the Bremont brand and would like to get all your input on one particular Bremont model, namely, the Alt-1/P (photo from Bremont Web page):
So far, I like what I see and what I hear about the brand and this piece. So I pose this question to you: I currently own a Glashutte Original Senator Navigator Panorama Date:
How would you compare the Bremont Alt-1/P to the G.O. Senator Navigator line? Is Bremont outclassed by the G.O. or is it a really worthy contender? Which do you like and why?
Thanks
DB Darien

I like both
i think the bremonts are well made watches have been looking at the MBII, personally i like the look of the go, choose which speaks louder to you
The GO by far.
After handling and seeing both watches, I think the choice is easy with the GO. I think opting to the Bremont would be more indicative of wanting a change than getting a nicer watch. After seeing all the marketing buzz around Bremont, I decided I want to ...
Some Further Thoughts - Bremont vs "Manufacture" Brands....
I appreciate your thoughtful response. I do want to get peoples' comments on the quality of the case since Bremont makes a real marketing effort to tout that as a primary strength. I'm also interested in the practical, real-world benefit of the "hardness"...
I don't want to sound overly critical ...
... but, first, I fail to see a GMT indication on the watch you mentioned. Only the Alt-1Z has the GMT hand, but this is hardly a modification made by Bremont. The Valjoux 7750 is available with a GMT hand since decades (designated cal. 7754), and consequ...
Thanks for your comments, Marcus.
You're post didn't strike me as overly-critical and I very much appreciate your reply. Hopefully readers will infer from my prior posting, just above yours, that I'm fundamentally in agreement with the jist of the sentiments expressed by you. Also, you ar...
What about Sinn or IWC?
First, I think it's tough to compare Bremont to G.O. I think most would consider the G.O. the higher class watch, but I would not expect its movement to be as tough and accurate as a chronometer-grade Valjoux 7750. Second, I think we're getting a bit carr...
My Take on the Subject
Full Disclosure - I have owned quite a few GO's in my time and am quite familiar with their design, movements and overall quality. I am currently an owner of a Bremont MBII In my view they are quite different watches with a different heritage and very dif...
