After years of waiting, I have my Bremont ALT1-C

My new Bremont ALT1-C/BK. I've dreamt about this watch since I first saw it in London back in 2007. Bear Grylls made me aware of the watch though. Gotta love marketing.

I totally should not have purchased this (I'm 26) but I had to have it. Such a beautiful watch. I had to buy from Tourneau. They were VERY nice people. I know there are horror stories but I didn't see any of that at the Pentagon City store. However, the watch they sold me had defects. I didn't notice them till I left the store and went into the sunlight. Couple dents in the case and scratching on the buttons. Almost seemed like it was a display model. I went back an explained the problem and he said he will order two more from another store to make sure it is in mint condition. Ideally, it would be a back room watch that nobody has touched. We shall see on Wednesday. He says it is almost impossible to get a brand new watch that has not been taken out of the box. I find that hard to believe though.

I love this watch so much but I have a stabbing feeling in my brain for spending $5400 on a watch. Guess it takes time to get over.

Now for the pics, try and identify the one with the dents.
