Looks like it is the SFX version, and very different to the one in the Chrities Catalogue... Blair, can you confirm which model was up for grabs?

I agree it does not look like the one in the catalogue {[]

Screen shot from the Christies auction video as per the posted link... It's in the first 30 seconds, and the next shot you see of the SM300 is probably the one donated by Mr White

You do know the lume is deeply recessed on this dial don't you fellas. You're looking at the shadow.

Higgins · February 2016

AA could have checked the watch on his wrist to see that the lume on his one is recessed as well.
And his ain't a sfx watch for sure

ACACIA_AVENUE · February 2016

Will have a look when I get home

Asp9mm · February 2016

The screen used ones may have had a prototype sandwich dial (like Panerai). The SFX one I've seen certainly did, so maybe the working ones did too.

Another amusing possibility has come into the Donkey's head....they submitted the wrong holster so maybe just maybe they submitted the wrong Omega 300 too?....Red segments to match the red faces!

Westward_Drift · February 2016

Biggest shock to me was £7500 for the Writing's on the Wall lyrics. They would have had to pay me more than that to take it off their hands.

I will have to look at the video later regarding the Omega.

Love the close up pictures of the holster.

I'm constantly amazed at how low Christie's estimates often are.

Do we know if the screen-used SFX watch's red lighting was even a practical effect? So much of that sort of stuff is added in post anymore. MIght have been quicker and cheaper to render the countdown hands and red lume via CGI.

The Bond Vivant · February 2016

Here is a sneak snippet from my video for The Bond Experience. As you can see, it's definitely not the SFX version, if that even exists:

Laters,

Another sneak peak- this time, the holster:

And lastly, just a quick zip around the DB10 gadget switches:

Hope they are of interest to some of you guys.

They did make one that lit up for the sequence where Swann throws it. Before for every other frame it was CGI.

RedDawn289 · February 2016

Gadget Meister · February 2016

Did you not get the link I sent you?

Jellyfish · February 2016

Does anyone know how to see the final prices of the lots in the online auction? The website says 'Lot has ended' for each item with the initial estimates:

The Domino Effect · February 2016

I just checked the super-fine fine print in the catalogue and think I know why the DB10 'only' went for what it did. Apparently, the one on display at the sale was just an example of what the high bidder would get and not the one actually up for sale. The one up for sale is the one at the bottom of the Tibor and the buyer has to collect it themselves. Hope they've got big lungs. :007)

That is not too bad really for a screen used item and not the non-screen used replica
