JohnCocktoastin 0 Posted July 18, 2017 Having just purchased an Omega 300m SMP (and failing miserably at my attempt to patiently await its arrival) I've been checking a lot of pics online, and came across this new release the other day. https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/omega-launches-the-omega-seamaster-diver-300m-commanders-watch-limited-edition Not normally a big fan of white faces or gold watches, but the gold with the nato strap is quite appealing. Since I don't think I'll be able to afford throwing 28,000 CHF's (or UHF's or VHF's or WTF's) on a watch anytime soon, I'm wondering how long it will take Kuvarsit or ZF to rep this baby. Do any you know any TD's who have the inside scoop with them? I think a 007 watch would suit me well, esp. since I've had a license to kill* for years now. * License only for use with wife's mood.

Del 4,450 Posted July 18, 2017 Believe it or not, I just saw this in an AD's window in Tenerife tonight! I hadn't seen this before so it caught my eye, especially in the 007 presentation box. Looked great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looked great. Wow that's a pretty quick rollout after only intro'ing it in London on less than 2 weeks ago. Sounds like Tenerife is similar to the Caribbean islands for us Yanks. Lots of duty free shops, e.g., Little Switzerland, where they keep a towel on hand to wipe the drool off the display cases. Cervezas and watches and guapas - oh my! Nice little holiday for the Del Boy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wowsasb 8 Posted July 18, 2017 I gotta say... I cannot stand that rotor... looks like the rotor you get on a cheap aliexpress rep... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_B 2,401 Posted July 18, 2017 Not a massive fan of the 007 theme... ...quite like the colour schemes though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fatarms 7,776 Posted July 19, 2017 The stainless steel one looks like it might be somewhat ok, the gold one looks ridiculous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Griffo 6 Posted July 19, 2017 I like it, just don't like 007 on stuff - I love bond, but don't want the branding on a watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFleischer 4,355 Posted July 19, 2017 Gold watch? On a NATO? Absolutely Chief! I don't like Nato at all personally. I like the SS bracelet version and white face. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daffy 105 Posted July 19, 2017 I don't mind the 007 branding, because it makes me think about Ian Fleming. A real badass if there ever was one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnCocktoastin 0 Posted July 19, 2017 I like it, just don't like 007 on stuff - I love bond, but don't want the branding on a watch. I kind of agree with that. This one is at least a little discreet with the face only showing the second hand 007 as opposed to some of the other Bond Omegas. It's not like people would look at it on my wrist and think I'm some James Bond wannabe. Plus I'd only wear it with my white tuxedo while drinking my vodka martini and aiming my Walther PPK all over the place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RepGuy 108 Posted July 19, 2017 I really like the gold, although that seems to be a minority opinion. If they offered a gold model with matching bracelet I think it would look great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
