    Intriguing - a one off made in Titanium, but made to look like steel for marketing purposes. Good charity for the proceeds to go to as well

    Wow, that is a pretty cool deal; not just a look alike but the one.

    Well the watch sold for....


    • £157,250
    • ($254,273)
    And that's after an estimate of

    • £6,000 - £8,000
    • ($9,660 - $12,880)
    That is an AMAZING result, especially as its all going to charity

    Being a one-off black titanium PO 8500 its also a prototype Omega in addition to it being used by Craig in Skyfall, so its a double rarity in that sense.

    True, but you can't get any rarer than an "only watch" ;)

    Wow, that went for a lot more than I could have expected! Great to see such a worthwhile charity being supported, and one lucky person has got themselves a bona fide one of one watch - not bad going!
