I'm an original Bremont collector who turned away from the brand as their prices mounted and the marketing stories took over. But I had so much genuine fun and still find the watches so handsome and versatile, I kept some and recently started to acquire some their classics.

Prices on pieces from when the founders still controlled the company are of course lower, but their good stuff is starting to become more rare. Collectors are holding on to some of the best models.

My question is, do you think its worth it to collect classic Bremont now? Does FTW, consider Bremont watches from the founders' era up to a standard and desirability that are worth collecting over the long-term? Are they respectable enough for me to continue acquiring? Regardless of my enjoying them!?

I am over the moon.This evening, i've been able to obtain one of my grails, a mint Patek 5070g. Can't stop smiling!!

Any thing add dealers market 12/3

I have been into watches since I was 14 years old and 40 years later they still intrigue me.

As a young man, even without being able to own anything of any notoriety or prestige, it did not matter.

without the internet, I could go to the library and fill the back seat of a car with books about watches. :)

And to this day, I am grateful that the intrigue never ends!

There have been infinite brands that have produced watches under the Swiss Made banner.

From dollar store pin levers to the finest escapements and complications available today, there are just certain obscure brands from history, that either dissappeared completely or are just not available in every market.

One such brand that I always liked was Marvin. I felt that they always had a classic look and decent quality when it came to their movements.

Below, I posted a pic of a current model, the Malton Round M116 with Power Reserve.

I think that they kept true to their classic look on the dial (pictured), but added a touch of modern in the recessed sides of the case.(Not pictured)

Powered by a slightly modified ETA 2897 and exhibition back. I think they offer some real value at retail in the low $2000's.

Give me some other obscure brands that are missing the love!

As a dealer, this is one of the better ways to minimize your cost and possibly increase your return.

Been considering purchasing a medium Santos. This listing is considerably less expensive than others in the US. It’s also a little confusing if this watch comes with the papers. So no papers in the listing and then says has papers in the description. Thoughts on this deal and anyone familiar with seller?
