Omega Seamaster

Just picked this beauty up for my Birthday.........appropriate branding for that day as its "NO Time to Die"!!!!

Interestingly enough, the fact that it is a “Bond” watch had nothing to do with my purchase. Quite frankly, I would prefer had it not been. What got my attention and attracted me to the watch was, first and foremost, the Milanese bracelet and then, the fact that I love brown on watches......on the dial, bezel.....wherever....Just my thing, I guess.

BTW.....For any of you considering this watch, I would definitely recommend going to an AD rather than an OB. Very attractive discounts from an AD, virtually nothing other than a Nato strap from an OB.

Congrats, one of my favorite watches! It's a strap monster, too.

I love it too, and I completely understand the dislike of the "Bond" branding...

Thanks!!! It was pretty much a no brainer, for me, to buy the watch with the Milanese bracelet. There's an $1100 difference between the Nato Strap version and the Milanese version. If you purchase the Nato Strap version and decide you want a bracelet, later on, that'll cost you $1400 for the OEM bracelet!!! Then again, if you're not a fan of the bracelet, you still own a stunning watch and keep your bank account in much better shape........

i have seen a ton of photos of this watch with different straps mounted on it. They all look so sexy. I think you will will have a lot of fun with this one. The bracelet is my favorite "look" to this point and all reviews indicate that it wears beautifully. I cant wait to try one on. My only gripe so far is that the factory rubber for the seamaster pro will not fit, Im hoping someone produces a quality rubber strap for it, either Zealande or Omega themselves, though i would think it doubtful that Omega will release a NTTD specific rubber...which is a shame because i recently saw someones photoshop of the oem rubber on this NTTD and it looked so good

Stunning watch indeed! Congrats.

Does anybody have an idea of the % discount ADs are offering for this reference?
