Really liking this one lately.
Anyone brushed their center links?
Pics of any and all appreciated.
It's a great looking watch and I really love the vibe. Just wondering if I get one if I want to leave it as is or have the links brushed.
Thanks in advance!

It's a great watch. Mine is the spectre and came with brushed bracelet... But I am addicted to the watch on nato. one of my boutique reps wears the watch on pcl as a daily... Imo very versatile and spectacular. No need to "tool" it up.

I have the Spectre LE, and it comes with a brushed bracelet. I do find it's the easy grab-and-go choice over my BLNR when both are dead, somewhat because I don't have to worry about the PCLs, and somewhat because there is no date to set.

Without me having to search, would you mind telling me any other differences with this and the Spectre?

It would really be easier if you just did a search.

There are some key differences :

- comes with a brushed bracelet and a nato.... Both discreetly labeled 007.
-lollipop second hand on the spectre
-larger Omega logo on the top center dial and no number 12 indice marker.
-bidirectional gmt bezel on the spectre instead of the unidirectional diving countdown

I think those are the main differences.

Great photos, beautiful detail along the bezel, the case, the dial. That watch is almost pristine.

Oh my god those pics are fantastic.
I'm trying REALLY hard to talk myself out of buying this watch.
Originally wanted a 5 digit submariner with lug holes and date to go with my datejust.
But now I really want this.
I would save a grand, its an almost new watch, has 60 hour power reserve, and ultra magnetic resistant.
Only thing missing is a date :/
Maybe it would be perfect weekend watch though since there would be no date to worry about on the weekend ;)
Save that non sense for the week days! lol

Have had mine two years. I brushed it after 6 months or so and it lasted a month before I polished the center links again. It looks great either way, but I prefer the original configuration on this bracelet and watch. It just works for me.

Brushed:



Polished :

Looks great with your leather jacket too!
Honestly I like it with those polished links like you have shown.
And even if it gets scratched after 2 years of wear, I'd say it adds a lot of character for a true tool watch.
Very cool & unique look

Just worried about paying the premium for the bond version.
I'm starting grad school right now and money will be tight
