    Brosnan wore a Seamaster professional 300 2531.80 throughout his Bond career. Craig wore a 2220.80 only in Casino Royale.
    Basically the same watch with some minor difference ie applied indices, longer hands and a newer movement (1120 vs 2500).
    Which one do you like better?

    Except in the very first (Goldeneye), where he wore a quartz 2541.80

    Later 2500D is the best movement. End of the day whichever you like best.

    The "Red" Seamaster 2220.80 looks better new. But the 2531.80s are starting to look mighty appealing now that the lume has been yellowing

    I’ll stick with my 2541.80 from WatchVaultNYC, which matches my son’s birth year 2541.80 also procured Fromm WatchVaultNYC. Our serial numbers are even fairly close.

    I wear my seamaster daily!
    Quartz of course but it’s my beater. Probably my favorite piece to date honestly. Brosnan was a great bond imo and his choice in watches even better.

    2531.80 for me too, but the damned laser beam has been busted for years.

    I prefer the DC SMP. Of course that’s the one I own so I’m biased.

    Are you sure it ever worked? I thought only the 2541.80 had that feature
