2 weeks ago I was crossing the street in a marked crosswalk when I was struck by a commercial vehicle. I bounced off the hood of large SUV and slid about 12-15 feet on my hands and knees.

On my wrist was my Seasmaster No Time To Die.

All I could think about when I regained mental capacity was what condition was my watch in.

Due to the watches titanium construction I was shocked at how well it held up (Pictures below).

Had I been wearing any steel watch like my Explorer ii, I know it would be toast.

One of the few positives of a shitty situation is how well I was treated by my local Omega boutique. Thank you to the team at the Omega boutique in NJ for helping me out with this.

Unfortunately the band will have to be replaced as well as the bezel but the fact that there is so little damage from literally sliding directly on it is unbelievable.

The Bond life isn't easy but damn does this watch hold up!

Just an FYI I am doing okay. Some sprains, some soft tissue damage and possibly surgery but nothing too serious! I will be back on the golf course in no time.

Ouch, glad you're OK, roughly 3wks ago I was knocked of my bike by a van on the opposite side of the road turning into a road i was passing.

Thankfully for a helmet it couldve been worse, likewise soft tissue damage, stitches to my ear and bruising. Was wearing my G Shock which had a chunk taken out. Luckily my Tudor was in it's travel pouch in my back pack

Good to know that you're fine.

I guess James Bond must has a great relationship with the London Omega Boutique, he should visit them every week for repairs and adjustments. Maybe even a technician assigned full time to his watches.😉

Glad you're okay! Within the first couple weeks of starting to work in Philadelphia years ago I watched a woman get nailed in a crosswalk by a large commercial truck hauling a full size dumpster. She flew at least 50 feet and hit her head. Out cold. I thought she was dead. Woman had the right of way the truck just blew through a turn without stopping. Wanting to do the right thing I stuck around and told the police what I saw. I got some calls from lawyers years later but never did get summoned to court. They must have settled but I'm pretty sure that woman had some life long injuries, probably a serious brain injury from that.

Never trust that someone is going to stop when they should. Head on a swivel. As a motorcyclist this is standard operating procedure everywhere.

I always assume everyone is an idiot to be honest but this time I was literally almost fully across the street. Just 100% negligence on the drivers part. He was texting.

Cool story, good to know the watch lives up to its name. 😉
