Bremont Terra Nova

I've got one on pre-order. Limited to 300 worldwide. I'm hoping it will be released this month!

Yeah, as soon as I saw it I had to have it. I would have waited but then I found out they are only making 300 so I put a deposit down. All the 2014 Bremonts look great. They really went for it this year, There is something for everyone.

I will post as soon as it arrives, hopefully this month.

Did you get this in the end ?

Just got an email from the boutique to say mine has arrived - can't believe it arrived on a day when I am tied up in meetings all day

Here you go (sorry about the quality):

Haven't pulled the trigger yet as I am wondering if it is actually a bit big. I've lost some weight recently due to training for a triathalon and my wrists are looking skinny as a result. The watch itself is lovely; really nice tolerances and the lighter weight in the titanium is great. The strap is very comfortable indeed, even better than the Rubber Bs I have.

The "extras" you get with it are fabulous too; engraved leather watch roll with the "there and back" logo and a nice history of Scott's antarctic trek with extracts from his diary.

Heading back on Monday for another look, wearing casual clothes this time...

And one from the side. Any thoughts on size much appreciated.

It is number 45/300 so pretty cool.

Looks fine on your wrist to me. Wish the lugs were a hair shorter. It wears pretty thick, but I think it's a sharp design overall.

I think it looks great. In my opinion doesn't look big at all

Thank you for the opinions, very much appreciated.

I'm going to take a couple of things in to the AD for comparison and make the call that way.

Thanks you for the kind comments. There is no doubt it is a handsome and superbly engineered watch but, in the end, I decided not to proceed because it just wears too big for me. The decider was comparing wrist shots of it against my DSSD, which, bizarrely, appears to me to wear smaller (see below):
