I'm a big fan of Bremont, but unfortunately only (the evil) Tourneau sells them in the Atlanta area :|

I like the watch, but I wish the sub dial was not refinished to look new. I think it would add a lot more character if they left it as it was in its aged state, and just added the text and sealed it. The rotor is pretty awesome though.

Very interesting, I like it, cool DB rotor and dial features. Will be tough to acquire with only 251 made. I'd like to see Breitling do something unique like this.

Thanks for info.!

Not bad, I have my eyes on another 'DNA' style watch at the moment (well two actually), but not sure yet - one in particular is a bit too much money.

I just choked on my own spit..... Thats more than I would spend on a little known company with a ETA movement.

It's the Kobold model. Back when Kobold was run out of a guys dorm room at CMU and the watches were like lower-priced Sinn's, he made a little money. Then he upped the prices by a factor of 5x or 6x and got piles more money. The higher the price, the more exclusive people think a watch is. Still can't be crap, tho'.
