Nope really. 馃榾 I'm waiting for a Spectre at the right price and a 42mm 2500d PO white number/Black Bezel. I personally only get tempted by SMP's when I'm drinking, which tells me it's not a good idea to get one.
I've already got a 3313 orange the "better then bond watch"馃槈

路The ceramic bezel alone is enough reason for the update, is just gorgeous, but you have to hold it in your hands to understand what I mean
You seem to think that I haven't? I'll stick to my recommendation.

路路Oooo subtitles!I'll go SMP any day, it's the original Omega Bond watch
It's the same core design, just the 2017 version with all the improvements that means.
And my Bond, not a great picture, the reflections make it look odd:

路In response to the OP - what budget do you have?
- That will determine what's "in budget".
For a comparison, albeit limited, from left to right:
40th Anniversary SMP / Casino Royale Planet Ocean / Casino Royale SMP / QoS Collectors Piece / Commanders Watch
Not the best of pictures due to the light reflection, but can provide close ups.

路Went left field with the 5513 (but he has one), how about right field. You could still buy this and an LE above馃榾

路I bookmarked this with thoughts of making it my new daily driver ... not sure if it's still available: http://www.vintage-watches-collection.com/watch/omega-watch/omega-seamaster-200-steel-pre-bond-1989/
Seemed to be peanuts at the time.

路路Oooo subtitles!Nice but probably not suitable for the OP's needs. The only Bond link with the 200m is the nickname, which even Omega have now adopted. It is so called simply because it was the comparatively unloved model directly before the Bond SMP. Nice enough watch in the flesh though. The one in the VWC link above looks water damaged to me so is probably best avoided. Oh and it looks like the Omega branded movement has been swapped out for a generic ETA version too! Here is my auto full size:

路Gotta go with the first Omega worn in a Bond film. By that, of course I mean the aptly named 176.007. http://www.calibre1040.com/176-007-omegas-first-bond-watch/

I like obscure Bond watches 馃榾
Here's another:
A Swiss made diver's watch, great looks and dirt cheap. Love it. Can anyone name the Bond connection?

He did. It was Moore's personal watch and he wore it at least on one occasion. I Believe it was in "For Your Eyes Only".

路With that sort of budget you can pretty much get any of the Bond LE's
Always buy from a trusted seller - you may pay a little more but at least you have guarantees - e.g. try Chrono24
How about this for something different: http://www.chrono24.co.uk/omega/vin...nding-steel-101010-calibre-321--id5811958.htm

路路Nowhere near as grumpy as he used to be...So after a wonderfull visit to the Omega Boutique in Costa Mesa aka South Coast Plaza, and trying on an 42mm 8500 my buddy has made his choice. He also tried on a 2500 45.5 at Tourneau but the proportions didn't work on him. He has not tried on a 2500 42mm but he likes the ceramic bezel, which was my choice, but the thickness on the 8500 is not an issue for him.
So now on the hunt for a 42mm 8500 ceramic dial for him, sending out feelers to the regular sources.
Side note going into IWC and JLC he was very surprised how nice all the salespeople where and he found it an interesting experience. Rose gold Atmos clocks are drool worthy trust me next to the silver there is no doubt...
Also the OB offered unprompted to switch my 3313 clasp over to the new adjustable one for about $120... I might have to take them up on that.
