thanks so much for the input guys ... still havent pulled the trigger though cause its quite a pricey piece for a non limited edition ... will keep hunting though - cheers
If you want screen accurate and a rarer piece then go for the V1. It depends how important that is to you and if you would be looking to sell later on (although, only a low minority of Bond fans will care whether it's V1 or V2, IMO). Personally I would rather have the security of the V2 bracelet,
What do we think OMEGA will do with this watch, production wise? Obviously, it's not officially a limited edition but I'm not sure I can see them making it more than a few years down the line? Interest will probably drop. Discounts may be available in a year or two? Or if there's a sniff they're ceasing production prices will go up. In any case OMEGA generally put their prices up annually so this watch may likely retail at £7995 next year. Dependent on current and forecasted sales, of course.
What do others think?
I would love to buy this watch but can't justify the extra £3K+ over the standard watch with a ceramic bezel (accepted Titanium does costs a premium and there is the Bond kudos).

I think they’ll release a black dial black bezel version similar to the one they’ve made for the Swiss Army. Probably without the wavy dial. Then the Bond watch will be discontinued as that takes over.
Hey guys, i was wondeeirng if any of u guys know a good watch box for me to display my DC era watches, i want one that looks good and not tacky if you know what i mean, most likely in either black or wooden colour
any links or any vendors you know make a good watch box where i can display 3 - 8 watches
I think Tudor are really taking a swipe at the NTTD OMEGA Seamaster with this one. With the official Marine Nationale association, as per historial models of the Tudor Sub. Titanium, COSC, (I know the standard Pelagos already has these attributes), but this one just feels retro in the way the NTTD Seamaster does. The Tudor also comes with a ceramic bezel insert and at half the price of the OMEGA, it's a lot of the watch for the money.
Personally, I would have preferred it on a 39/40mm case, shorter lug to lug and in a darker blue.
I love the Pelagos: the titanium case makes it feel very classy without being showy and it just screams modern quality (even if a mate of mine had a bit of a trouble with the bezel falling apart in the sea! :) ). Other than the colour and strap the differences with that one don't seem to change the package too much to me.

I really like this , it has the look of an old divers watch. I bought the Pelagos LHD 2020 model a while ago and I love it. As you mentioned, it is a lot of watch for the money, and I think the Tudors are great value compared to other watches on the market. Personally I would like to see it with a bracelet but for £2,900 I wouldn't complain.
hey guys, would any of you guys here have the new nttd omega titanium model with the short milanese?
my wrist is 16,5cm and im still contemplating on wether to get the short or long bracelet
thanks to Lorenzo i am aiming more to the short , but would love to see the difference between the short and the standard mesh version on somebody with a smilir sized wrist so i know where the clasp falls. As they say it only dirfference 2cm so i have no idea if visuially it will affect the position of the clasp.
Cheers guys
Yes i did ride the CAT

16.5cm isn’t a large wrist. So you certainly wouldn’t need the long version.
I have not looked at every post in this thread but the many I have looked and read they all have one theme in common, they are all in excellent or pristine condition, very expensive and a marquee brand name. Therefore my contribution my be considered out of place here but I am going for a new category, tatty, well used, well loved watch porn :) . My much loved Seiko H357 from For Your Eyes Only
I know it isn’t Wednesday today … but it was three days ago and in fact the first Wednesday of 2022 when we visited some friends in Munich. And since I haven’t had the chance by then to get my hands on the latest 007 Edition, we also planned a quick stopover in the local OMEGA Boutique without even knowing, if they had at least a display model available. Luckily for me, they had one with the titanium bracelet - and not only for display purposes - and so I shortly after left with the 007 Edition on my left wrist.
To be honest, I was very skeptical before I experienced the watch in person, because I read and watched so many reviews where people were reporting about sizing issues with the mesh bracelet and saying that it was very uncomfortable for people with small wrists. I have to admit that there is indeed a lot of titanium under the clasp, but it wasn’t and still isn’t a dealbreaker for me. There was one time where I had a little pressure mark under the clasp, but nothing major and nothing that other clasps and/or bracelets can’t cause.
I’m very happy that I decided to get this watch and just went out today for a couple of shots. 😀

That Swiss Army version is a beaut.
It's good to see Casino Royale's Mollaka reincarnated and taking an interest in timepieces...
Sébastien Foucan is an amazing guy. Good choice by Audemars to have him promoting the Royal Oak.

Depends on budget really.
This may help;
I currently just have a cheap £30 one, but I'm thinking of upgrading to something like a WOLF one;

Severe lack of watch porn being shown on this thread recently. I’ll address the balance slightly.
114060 Asp or the new one?
114060. I keep telling myself I have enough Submariners. So far I’ve believed me 😁
Saw this on a watch forum and had to laugh
Higgy will love that one 🤣. Bremont on Bond would not be a good idea.
Looks fantastic Welshie! 🍸
