Great ad and anything linked to 007 usually does well.

Love James Bond but that watch with fake patina does not belong on Bond with a Tuxedo

Just got this watch yesterday. I think it is strong in appearance and wear. The bracelet is very cool and different in a good way. The watch has almost no weight compared to others. I am liking it.

I just can't get over the straight bracelet at the lugs, even if the rest grows on me the bracelet/lug connection just doesn't look refined. Congrats on the watch, looks great on you.

Good to see another NC WIS on here.

Looks great - I keep thinking about one also. Would the black rubber from the normal SMP fit? I think that would look great.

Great looking watch and I might end up picking one up but the bracelet lug connection that you mention is the only reason I didn’t leave with it. It makes the bracelet look like an afterthought.

Congratulations! It looks great and I was also loving the lack of weight when I tried it on. I know bracelet is a hit or miss but I love it. It’s comfortable and the whole watch has a nice vintage vibe.

It's a great watch, I didn't flinch @ this one while I kept waiting with the new seamasters. Can't wait till the movie comes!

Thanks for sharing the ad OP.

Had mine since April and do love the watch! The crystal and lume are probably my favorite parts.

I like the marker at 6, instead of the date. Very cool.

Wow, that is some impressive lume! Almost makes me re-consider my decision to pass.

Does anyone know if the bracelet can be interchanged with a regular SMP bracelet?

Beautiful lume but you might want to remove the photo. No firearms.

But back to the lume... I was surprised when I saw the lume in the bezel. It looks awesome in person and you captured it well. You need to stop sharing pics because I know it's still at the OB waiting for me and you're not helping.

Cheers. I missed that one, sorry! Contacted the mods to remove it for me.

Here's one for you without

I hate you guys!

On a side note one of the OB in town recently closed down and they had a huge Daniel Craig poster (and George Clooney) and when I asked about it I was told it was cut up and thrown away. I mentioned that it was a waste and I would have loved to take it off their hands and the reply was "Really? You should have said something!"
Although I question if they would have been able to give it to me. I think that was sales person talk to give the impression like I am special enough.

Love the looks of this watch after seeing it on a billboard. Doesn't hurt that I love James Bond as well. Looks like MSRP is $9200. You think these will fall below that on secondary market given these aren't limited production? Would like to pick one up but not in a hurry and waiting a couple more months to see what prices look like.
