    Had my mind set on this watch ever since Casino Royale blew my tiny high-school mind, but I finally took the leap into Swiss watch territory this week. Should satisfy my James Bond cosplay needs for now. And yes, I know that's supposed to be a PPK/P99, but those are hard purchases to justify for anyone who's ever fired them :p

    Nice. But can it really be a Bond Seamaster on that bracelet?
    Gotta fix that!

    ;)

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but David Niven wore a Rolex GMT Master in Casino Royale. ;)

    Congrats! The 2220.80 is an underrated reference IMO; never seems to get as much attention as its predecessor 2531.80, or as the ceramic models that followed. I love mine.

    "For now" is the key term here -- just like 007 himself in Casino Royale, you just might be getting yourself into a very daunting world....

    Congrats! The 2220.80 was my first (and forever) Omega! My entire collection revolves around it :D

    If you haven't done the adjustable clasp mod, I highly recommend it - it really improves the overall comfort of wearing!

    Excellent choice. Congrats!
    I had a 2531.80 but recently sold it.
    Now having some seller’s remorse.

    Get some straps too. Watch works great with them.

    My screenname takes exception to this comment. ;)
    The .40 caliber P99 is one of my favorite sidearms ever, tho oddly I don't like the SW40 variant. To each their own!
