Congrats, this watch is really nice.

I love the design and domed crystal, unfortunately, it is too thick, the bracelet clasp is ridiculously thick too, and it is a bit overpriced IMO.
Why couldn't they release the same one in 39-40mm with a slim profile and a practical clasp ? 🙁

Congratulations! How does the bracelet feel on the wrist? Supple or stiff?
At first it felt a little bit too stiff and you get the feeling that it is too tight or too loose. But once you try it with different settings, you’ll fond the right position and it starts to live with your wrist in a very smooth way. Very easy to wear!

Where is your AD I’m still waiting for the call I’ve been told late feb ?
I get the feeling that I am in the first ones to get this watch in Europe and globally!

Still need to see in the metal; i was hoping that 'live' photos would prove the 'vintage patina' to be more subtle, but these pics live pics appear still pretty taupe.

PS: LUME SHOTS!
I was also against the fake vintage patina, but pocs don’t fo justice: LIVE the colouring feels perfect and not a fake patina at all—it feels like stunning colour-combo which belongs to this very special piece!
Lume shot—I totally forgot!!!!

Congratulations to you & the watch itself is stunning , but the bracelet looks a little off to me . Would really like to see it on a nato ,but the bracelet definitely wouldn’t put me off buying one , so as Mr Bond said , never say never .

As far as my favorite, it's hard to go wrong with the original Bond Omega.

This is the watch that got me into watches, and Omega in particular. The father of my girlfriend (at the time), quietly noted that I did not wear a watch but should have one. He gave it to me at Christmas, and it was the mid-sized model. Quite a surprise, and at that point in my life probably the nicest thing I owned. I wore it daily for several years (10+?) before one day turning the corner to, "should I have another watch/Omega?" - which was of course the beginning of the end.

Looks great congrats! I was unsure of the strap, having never had a mesh bracelet, even though I find the Omega deployants to be the comfiest of all my NATO/bracelet/leather options.

However the mesh looks simply like a titanium deployant, I should really try that..

One of the most comfortable bracelets I’ve experienced! What I like that it is truly different than the usual steel divers bracelets are. You need to experience yourself. Matter of personal preferences ofcourse!

Any photos of the box etc ?
Very simple:
This is the box—inside it is the leather roll. That’s it. No badges, tools or toys inside. I actually like the overall simplicity!

That's quite a gift from a girlfriend's father. Glad you still have it in your collection.

So has the Goldeneye SMP been edged out as “THE” Bond watch?

For me, it’s still the Goldeneye SMP with the Skyfall AT a close second.

This new one though is tempting.

Congrats to OP.
