"Rule Number 4: Never get high on your own supply..."

[Timeless Luxury Watches]

I am breaking rule number 4 of the late, great B.I.G's Ten Crack Commandments... which I swore I would never do ;)

I have always had a soft spot for clean aviator watches, this lust was started by IWC's mark 15 and just yesterday my thirst was finally quenched by the Bremont Solo 10 years later.
So I got a little iphone happy and took some quick shots this morning that I thought I would share with everyone.

Here she is:




















Favorite things about the watch:

1. Screw down crown. I love the freedom of being able to jump in a pool or the lake without having to worry about my watch. (I think this strap can handle it )
2. Hardened steel case. I've already hit this baby against my steel door frame at work and not a scratch.
3. Blue Lume... nuff said
4. PVD treated case barrel. I love the way it looks, so unique.
5. Thickest stap i've ever owned


Enjoy your day guys, like always let me know if you need anything.

Hi Dan,
What size is your wrist? Because that watch look as if it wears larger than I thought it would!
Anyway, nice photos, and thanks for sharing.

cheers,
Jake.

I have small wrists. They come in at 6 inches.

I really like that, but don't need a fourth Bremont. ;)

Outstanding photos and observations. I am seriously considering this piece as my first Bremont. I have always admired the IWC pilot models and this appears to be aesthetically more appealing, better spec'd and certainly more unique at a more competitive price point. I would expect this to be a home run form a commercial perspective.
Without a local AD to help in the selection process i am having a hard time deciding between the white and cream dials but one of the two will most likely be on my wrist soon.
Thanks for psoting this.

Hey Dan,

I too am looking at the Solo as a potential next watch. If you get some time and would like to, would you be interested in writing a review? I appreciate your 5 positives you wrote about the watch, but I think wearing it for a couple weeks will probably open your eyes to a whole new array of pros and cons. I would greatly appreciate a comprehensive review (or whatever you have time for) and I am sure others on the forum would as well. Thanks!
