BREMONT Broadsword, Armed Forces Collection, Her Majesty's Armed Forces on this lovely Saturday
I met a British gentleman yesterday, at the local Bremont AD, who had this ROYAL MARINES II, an exclusive Military Edtion of the Broadsword, available to be bought by past and presently serving Royal Marines only. He noticed my watch, then smiled and said "Nice watch!" I asked him about his, then he took it off and showed me. It features the Royal Marine colours on the subdial at 6 o’clock, a subdued “ROYAL MARINES” at 12 o’clock and the corps' crest engraved on a closed caseback. I wish I had a picture of the case back.
The regular model, like mine, has a subdued "HMAF" (Her Majesty's Armed Forces), and "LONDON" on the subdial at 6 o'clock.
An honor to meet this gentleman, and somehow made the watch I have feel even more special!
Have a great weekend!
Cheers,
Carl
