Hi all, if you gave got a chance to pick 1 from these 2 beautiful watches at a similar price, which one will you pick?
The 007 edition or yellow gold on Steel?

Between the two, the 007, but more because I'm not big on YG than anything else. Do like the gun-barrel rifling dial design for the Bond as well, though, vs. the waves which can be found on multiple models.

I’m usually not a fan of a two tone, but that Omega one speaks to me - looks really nice.

I'm not really into two tone either but i do really like this seamaster, seems classy rather than tacky.

I'm also not a bond fan or of themed watches in this way so easy choice for me. Right one.

Two Tone.
I had the equivalent 30 years ago in the SM 200 pro.
My first Omega.
I sold it and have regretted ever since, in fact I still cruise eBay hoping to see it one day.

Two tone as well

It's more subtle than the Bond and I feel it would age better

Two tone for me. Very subtle in addition to the fact that I am not really a fan of the gun barrel dial.

My vote is for the two tone but the rose (sedna) gold version, I think it is much nicer.

The two tone is a great looking watch. That would be my first choice.

As much as I like the Bond movies I’m not a great fan of the Bond Watches. Although the 50th Anniversary Bond Seamaster was quite nice. I guess I’d go for the bi-metal but again I’m not a massive fan of a tool/dive watch in two tone.

I am a Bond fan, but I don’t like the LE’s with all the gimmicks/marketing on them. So for me it would be the two tone but my preference would be for the rose gold also.

Definitely two tone. Outside of the Spectre LE, I’m not fond of the Bond LEs.

Neither.

Bond. James Bond.

007. The gold just doesn't do it for me.

If I absolutely had to pick between those two, I’d go with the Bond edition. Despite my love for Bond, I brushed off that 007 watch when it came out. I’m just not a fan of the gun barrel dial or the other in your face 007 second hands, dials, etc.

I actually saw the two tone Seamaster in the boutique on Thursday. The Sedna gold looks awesome if you haven’t seen it in person. Their suggestion, when I said I liked the look, was to buy that one on rubber and then buy a normal SM300 bracelet. I think he said it was a solid $1-2000 cheaper than buying with the two-tone.

Between those two I like the bond edition although the gun barrel dial looks a little busy to me. I think the two tone model would look much better on a black leather strap or nato instead of that two tone bracelet.

I actually like both of them, can only buy one this time, I tried the two tone and it's a very nice watch, but also don't want to waste the chance to get the 007. I haven't tried the 007 on my wrist, still waiting for the delivery to the AD.

I agree with you, the two tone SM300 looks much better on a black leather strap or rubber.

Bond but maybe only because there is something that feels unbalanced about the two-tone with the black dial and steel bracelet. So agree with posters above maybe it would look better on a black strap.

Strangely the two tone is the quieter of the two. Right one with an extra strap
