i picked up a 2531.80 Seamaster blue dial just like Pierce Brosnan Bond. I have to say after growing up wanting one and now finally getting it I have been very impressed. I am mainly a Rolex guy and vintage Speedmaster but I have to say this thing is awesome. Easily the best value out there for a sports watch. Also a lot of flack about the bracelet but it’s very comfortable and I like the styling. What’s anyone else think?

 

Congrats on the Bond. I have the newer version, but similar bracelet which was one of the reasons I went with the Seamaster over other models. Enjoy.

 

Congrats!
I’ve been trying to find one of those for a while now.

 

Very nice, all you need now is Xenia Onatopp and of course the small matter of a DB5.

 

Good looking watch, lovely to wear and yours has a great looking bezel, too. Wear always shows there first

 

A super nice classic watch, congrats!

 

Nice one. The older ones become yellow tritium markers. Yours seem to be with SL and the dial is pretty nice.

 

I honestly find the bond SMP quite charismatic, it has a certain charm to it that you just can't replace; even with the newest SMP.

Maybe it's because it's connected to 007 but I'm definitely sure it's more than that..

A true divers watch, wear it in the very best of health!

 

Nice clean looking example you have there, congrats. I’m on the lookout for one just as clean & yours appears to be the later SL dial.

 

Here’s mine. Considering letting go

 

Beautiful

 

Looks good, I had the GMT version in past. Still wish I had it.

 

I love mine.

 

I've not been without one (various versions) since 2003.





They are so versatile and can be dressed up or down.

 

Congrats! New black is blue. Enjoy it treasure it!

 

Welcome to the Club

 

Thanks all! Yes it is a SL version, not the earlier tritium. Was lucky to get a pretty decent condition and full set for a good price. I also have a sub and am continually shocked how the Omega takes a lot of wrist time away from my Sub! They really are great. One question has anyone ever had their bracelet polished? Are local watchmakers able to get them back to factory original finishes?

 

Yes. Bring it back to original condition is no problem for a watch maker. But it takes some time.

 

Great watch! Congrats. I agree, I think its the best value in the 1k+ field.

 

I have this on it's way to me. Not a Bond, but will have great memories and sentimental value to me.
