New purchase to add to the collection. Lovely watch and feels comfortable on the wrist. I’d been searching for one for ages, and managed to find one fairly local.....

 

Congratulations. It is a great watch but not my cup of tea. I love the Bond Seamasters but don’t currently own one. I have a 2254 and it’s GMT brother though - 2234.

 

Congrats and welcome to the club! Here’s mine of a couple of different bands

 

Any chance that any of you would mind sharing the first few digits of your serial numbers, and which version (A B or C) of the 2628 movement it has? I know it's a bit of an odd question, but I'm on the hunt for one of these and am trying to find one that has the most-modern version of the 2628 (aka adaptation of the 2500A, B, C, or D) based on where the first 3-5 digits in the serial fall in the 8XXXXXXX range...

 

8525XXXX and higher serial numbers are associated to 2500D movements; the same applies to 2628 latest iteration movement (2628C)

Mine is 84942XXX and it is a 2628B as confirmed by Omega below so not from the latest movement iteration (2628C) based on serial number or the font of the date wheel:




Here the font of the date wheel found on the 2628C pieces:

 

Very helpful!! Thanks so much @fskywalker!

 

Was this reference ever produced with a 2628C?

Mine is a B.

 

Yes, the ones with serial number over 8525XXXX are the ones that are likely to be 2628C

 

There is no 2628C. There is a 2628A, B, and the latest version was a D.

 

Interesting they “jump” the “C” letter on the versions, thanks for sharing Al !

 

And even more oddly, the 2628B is based on a 2500C escapement.

 

Perhaps that's why they skipped the C? So that the D versions were aligned between the 2500 and 2628?

 

I don't know, but it sounds feasible.

 

Was this watch made in black? Or just blue?

 

Blue bezel only. The dial is a very dark blue, darker than the bond watch - it almost looks black.

 

FWIW, I love mine. The blue/black combo seems to go with most any outfit. Even a suit in a pinch.

 

Nope, only blue bezel and blue dial.

 

Some really nice watches in this thread!

 

What is the thickness of this reference? 15mm??
