    So a few observations so far:

    It's wears really thick and high. Maybe not on paper but the lugs sit high on the case and off the wrist for me and so does the watch. it's not a bad thing, but worth noting because its thicker than i expected it to be

    The stock bremont sailcloth-style strap is amazing - probably my best strap and i have a lot of straps. It's very comfortable, very well made, seems like it will last for a long time.

    And speaking of the strap, the way you change straps is really interesting - no spring bars here... instead there is a center curved bar that is wedged between two screw tips. It does not screw in itself but stays in the strap. This makes changing the strap very easy to do. I can post pics of it if anyone wants to see

    The screw-down pushers for the chrono are a really interesting and nice touch, my first watch with this feature

    The bezel is really nice with solid clicks and goes both ways which is a nice contrast from my diver-heavy collection that is mostly unidirectional

    That's all for now

    Dan

    Please do! I'm curious about the setup.

    I had a Bremont U2 once upon a time and although I loved the watch, I wasn't crazy about the curved spring bars they used. The positioning of the lug holes and the curvature made using non-curved straps a bit difficult.
