    Including the Seamaster 300M from Spectre and the SMP and Planet Ocean from earlier films.

    Great exhibit, with many cars from many films, from Goldfinger's Rolls, to the DB10 in Spectre and many in between, including the DB5 used in Goldenye, the Lotus Esprit in The Spy Who Loved Me and "Little Nellie"--the miniature helicopter from You Only Live Twice, just to name a few.

    Near each vehicle displayed, was a movie screen featuring scenes in which that vehicle was used. Really brilliantly done...

    If you're in London, and like 007, by all means, check it out! Cool gift shop, too (for posters, mugs, toy cars, etc.)

    Great pics and clearly a terrific exhibit! The International Spy Museum in Washington DC had (maybe it still does) an exhibit on the villains of the Bond films ... They also had a DB5 on display, among many other items (although no watches). I don't suppose there were any of the earlier timepieces, such as a Rolex Submariner or one of the early digital Seikos?

    That's a definite to do next time I am in London. Note how one of the Omega watches is upside down? I know, I know, there's two sides of the case. But that kind of stuff drives me nuts with my OCD.

    Great pics. Yours remind me to look at mine I took 2014. I will go there again when the DB10 is in the exhibition as well. Until the moment I will enjoy the pics I took in Berlin this year.... IMG_2055.jpg IMG_2057.jpg IMG_2065.jpg IMG_2070.jpg IMG_5874.jpg IMG_5879.jpg

    Yes, it is terrific. Haven't been to the DC Spy Museum, but heard it's great.

    And no, only Omegas...

    Thanks for sharing. It looks like a great exhibition. I hope it comes to the US.
