Up for sale or trade is my beloved Bremont SuperMarine S500 with the seldom seen and offered silver dial. The dial itself has a depth which is hard to capture with a camera, it is really nice. The Bremont is in fantastic condition at 95% with only a minor hairline on one lug. It keeps excellent time on my wrist and the lume is incredible. The S500 is very well engineered and the fit and finish is superb. I truly love the watch but it's time to try something new.

The Bremont will come with both the bracelet and the rubber strap with signed buckle, boxes, leather case, books etc... I cannot trade up at this time so I'm looking for an even deal. I'm open to most high end brands but am not interested in anything vintage. I would put the sale/trade value at around ~$3700. Please feel free to email me with any questions or offers at RotaryRx7@Gmail.com

Bremont Cases (from the Bremont Site)
All Bremont watches are treated for hardness with B-EBE2000 technology. This special stage in the case production, in which the metal is heat-treated and defused with carbon and then bombarded with electrons, gives the stainless steel a dramatically increased hardness and scratch resistance. On the Vickers scale of hardness, B-EBE2000 produces a watchcase with a value of 2000, which is approximately nine times that of the normal stainless steel used for watchcases.
Bremont Sapphire Watch Crystals (from the Bremont site)

Our sapphire crystals, convex and with a Mohs hardness rating of "9"(equivalent to 2000Hv on the Vickers scale), also have anti-reflective coatings applied to both sides of the glass. Untreated crystals can allow light to reflect back, which can significantly affect the legibility of the watch dial. The coating, with its carefully calculated thickness, is vapor-deposited onto the crystals in a vacuum environment, and is also specially treated to maintain a hardness of close to 2000Hv. Reflections are therefore reduced to less than 0.5%. Please note these pictures are for reference because I lack photography skills. I will be more than happy to email actual photos to anyone interested.

I feel for you. You must be very sad to trade this one.

Bremont, what a stunning watch.
