Bremont did more of a thing with their Norton watch, as in it says Norton on the face. I liked the idea of a Bremont-Norton watch, as both are British. I didnt really see the connection with Breitling.
The Breitling pictured is nice and understated though. I'd rather a metal strap, but that's just personal preference.

Depends on your definition of potato.

If you’ve ever ridden a 1200 Sporty powered Buell, or similar, you’ll know that those motors can be made to go quite nicely, and with tremendous grunt and character thrown in too. Along with bomb proof reliability.

Looks like i missed the smiley in my post. I dont have an issue with HD's and thought long and hard about a Buell XB12R when they were new, my wallet won the discussion and a used Duc M900 won the day.

Ducs a better bike no doubt. But those Buells sure are a blast (pun intended) !

Wonder if TVS will give something similar to the people who buy the new V4?

A bit of decadence for my retirement..they definitely did not make 200 pieces. The movement is Swiss. but modified by Bremont. The two carbon inner dials look deep but doesn’t show in the photograph.

Very nice. Bremont do some very nice pieces, I think they’re an up and coming force to be sure.

What better for a serious Norton enthusiast ?
 
I actually have number 126 that I’m selling. Had an offer from a dealer I’m about to accept but would prioritise selling to a Norton person. PM me if interested, but be quick…

Sorry chap, I never got back to you. My customer have bike #44, so he declined. I didnt realise the watches were numbered too.

They’re not numbered to a specific bike per se, but they’re individually numbered to reflect the limited edition ‘specialness’ !
 
200 watches and 200 V4SS's....if you had #50 of 200 bikes, you'd want #50 of 200 watches to match. I went for a black face on my watch to match up with the black paint of my car...so I know where he's coming from.

Of course that’d be great!

All I mean is, that’s not how it ever happened. The factory did not give one away with the bikes. Customers were offered the chance to buy one. And due to the fact that not many did, and that Norton didn’t make 200 V4s, others can now buy them.

This absolute legend (whoever he is) is making me feel a whole lot better about turning the big ‘six-oh‘ this year! Wouldn’t mind a few laps on that Beemer either!

Trying to work out whether this is Sammy Miller - Irish ex champion trials rider. Not certain though.
