... To complete the ensemble. Very, very nice. Congrats on the Omega. I have been eyeing this watch since its release. And on the Titanium bracelet? The only way to fly. Lately I find myself more in love with titanium everyday. Enjoy.

Just for the pleasure of sharing a few shots...
... of my Seamaster 300M No Time to Die model. Hello friends! After a long long waiting this watch arrived to my hands a couple of weeks ago thanks to the nice help of my friends at the local Omega Boutique who were so kind to bring it to my office as loc...
Hello Thomas!! Sorry but I am experimenting troubles...
... lately when posting my pictures. I tried with the App and shots don’t show after posting I tried again andsome pictures appear turned sideways!! 🤦♂️🤦♂️ Hope you and our friends here will forgive this problem! Will keep trying to fix this. Cheers! Ab...
Good to see the photos and hear your thoughts ...
The watch was slightly delayed in part due to the COVID-19 crisis and the decision for the film to be postponed. I was pleased that Omega decided to continue to release the watches despite the delay of the film release. Omega are also offering the choice ...
Hello dear Captain! Thank you for your comments my friend. Agree with you about causes of delay...
... I was told when I ordered the watch (same day it was announced) that the Boutique was planning to invite buyers to an special pre-view event of the film in mid April and take delivery of the watches in that same event. Then came Coronavirus and all pl...
Ohh! Lovely Honey Ryder... I well remember...
... HR: Are you looking for shells too? Bond: No, I´m just looking.
Yes, same here Thomas. It begun happening to me since a couple of months ago, never before.
I load my pictures mostly from my I phone through the web site interface. Tried the App for the Bond Omega post but the all the pictures except one dissapeared. I had to load again through the interface and they turned. I´m trying to get this fixed. It se...
Thank you so much Redcorals for your kind comments!
Yes, guns are also in my collection. Best! Abel
Thank you so much ZSHSZ! I have to be honest: Bond...
... shoots a PPK and all I had at hand was this old PP which I inherited from my Dad so I dis a little photographic trick to make it look like Bond’s. Actually they do this kind of tricks in films, isn’t it? 😉 The P99 is an special edition offered several...
Very cool!
I'm still waiting to see it in the metal but your photos do an excellent job of showing it off! How do you like the bracelet clasp? Is it bulky? Great P99 by the way, one of those handguns that just feels right in the hand! Kent
Thank you so much Kent for your kind comments. The bracelet clasp looks a bit bulky visually but actually you don´t notice it while wearing. It is very comfortable and...
... it has the easiest to adjust system of any other mesh bracelet I own. Once you size it to your wrist you use the watch as if equipped with a set of straps with a deployant clasp. Agree that the P99 has a very erogonomic grip. Best. Abel.
Thanks Abel!
That helps. I comparison shopped the P99 with the HK P7 M8 that I ultimately bought. I'm looking forward to seeing the Omega when my AD gets one. Kent
My pleasure Kent. The HK P7 caused quite a stir when it was released in the early 80's. The squeezer grip, the low axis center of barrel and superb HK construction made ...
... for a futuristic and fantastic package. The design keeps being absolutely unique even nowadays but its big drawback is its low magazine capacity of 8 rounds against the high capacity of modern "wonder nines". The P99 is a more modern design from the m...
Classic combination!
While I love the Walther PPK line my meathook hands don’t fit it well. It is a shame as it is a beautiful piece, and goes so well with the Omega, like Scotch and a good cigar. Thanks, Wojo
Thanks a lot Wojo! Appreciate your kind comments. The PPK 7,65 mm (.32 ACP) is the signature gun of Bond since Dr. No novel/film when he was obliged by M to change his old beloved Beretta .25ACP...
... for a better iron. Bond was reluctant to part with the Beretta but M insisted and the Walther PPK became part of his outfit. M wished to give a more powerful caliber to 007 but actually a .32ACP is litle improvement over a .25ACP as it has a marginal ...
I saw that watch the other day
It's one of the best offerings by Omega for years (not that the regular 300M isn't great, BTW). You do have a thing for Walther, don't you? A PP, a P99, what else? A PPQ perhaps?
Hello Boris! Agree with you. Though all the Omegas worn by 007 since Brosnan are superb watches this is the best looking of them all in my personal opinion. Regarding Walthers...
... I consider it a great classic brand with a long tradition making very fine firearms. I own a large gun collection I have accumulated though about 40 years which includes five Walthers of different models. This one is an old 7,65 (.32ACP) PP which I in...

... To complete the ensemble. Very, very nice. Congrats on the Omega. I have been eyeing this watch since its release. And on the Titanium bracelet? The only way to fly. Lately I find myself more in love with titanium everyday. Enjoy. Scott.
Thank you so much Scott for your kind comments and congrats. It is a very nice watch indeed and the Ti. mesh bracelet complements it beautifully. Those who prefer a Nato can get a very...
... nice and special color set to wear it that way. The Titanium case and bracelet make for a very lightweigth and comfrotable combo though. Glad you like it! Cheers! Abel.
If I may say honestly. I am drolling more on the walthers
Probably because I have seen your other watch. You have many more awesome pieces. Nonetheless awesome collection with very sexy maching serial numbers
Hello Gelato Monster! Thank you so much for your kind comments. Appreciate them so much. Regarding inscriptions on case back it is interesting to explain that they are the same ...
... in all watches of this model, following the format of real military-issued watches. “0552” is the code-number specified for Navy personnel. “923 7697” is the number for a divers’ watch. The letter “A” is a code meaning a watch with a screw-in crown. O...
thank you so much Abel . Now I understand the meaning. I suppose the serial number is in the lug?
I totally agree with you, it is the best James Bond Edition
My pleasure Gelato Monster! Correct. Serial number is eight digit ...
... under one lug as usual in Omega watches since several years ago. Cheers! Abel
Congratulations Abel.
The watch matches you as in your Avatar 👍🏻 I’m still on the fence for this one, although I have to say I don’t have any Titanium watches so this might just be it.
Thank you so much my friend!! I became a fan of Bond since I viewed the first films around 1964 and followed the saga since then. Well some of the films I viewed several times!
The titanium case and Milanese make for a very lightweight combo. Very interesting option. Also the color of brushed Titanium gives the watch a very special "stealthy" look. You should try it on your wrist of course! Cordial regards, Abel.
Perhaps a future Wrist Scan theme? . . .
. . . we've done just about every other collectible/consumable possible. I'll bet there are a few gun and knife owners here. Art

Ha ha ha!! No no my friend! Those guns belong to Dexter´s collection... you know. Lol! The only guy who receives a Walther with his Omega 300M is Mr. Bond, James Bond. Lol!
Glad you like it my dear friend! And an additional plus: NO Date!! Abrazos amigo mio! Abel.
I loved the watch when it was released,
Loved it even more when i first saw it at some point in febuary or march yet still my passion for this piece has faded a bit. I dont know why. I looks better in real than on pictures and the saphire is amazingly shaped. I love the texture of the dial too....
Hello Reuven and thanks a lot for your kind comments. Agree with you that pictures don´t make justice to this watch. It really deserves to be seen in the metal and tried...
... on the wrist. The dial texture and color of indexes and bezel give the watch a very special look... I would describe "stealthy or dark" very appropiate with the character of Bond. Please read my comments about my feelings on the bracelet is several of...
Thanks for ypur extensive comments
I read all of them and found it very interesting that the clasp is not as bulky as it appears to be. Id love to get a follow-up report in a few months.
My big pleasure Reuven! These are my personal thoughts of course. Best thing before jumping on a watch is viewing in the metal and trying in your own wrist always.
May be we can make a roll call soon and share impressions about these details of this watch from each owner. I´m happy my comments could be helpful to other members interested in this watch! Cordial regards, Abel
Thanks for the review
I finally managed to play with one albeit on the NATO strap in the Omega boutique. Loved it ... especially the size ... not 46mm etc... I like the bezel colours are more coffee in colour in certain lighting conditions. It is super light and highly legible...
Hello Explorertwo! Thank you so much for sharing these great shots with the Nato and for your kind comments. Agree with you...
... that the main drawback of this watch is its price a bit high considering it is not a limited edition. The watch looks very cool with that Nato which has exclusive colors for this model. A black Nato would look great too. I´m not very fond of wearing m...
Amazing photos Abel. I really like this new Bond but unfortunately it did not fit me well when I tried it on at the boutique...
it was due to the mesh bracelet creating a gap between my wrist and the watch itself due to the construction of the bracelet and new deployant buckle. The problem could be solved by simply wearing the NATO strap or a sharkmesh bracelet with Ploprof buckle...
Ah ok. I understand you Holdemchamp!. The Nato could be a good solution. The Plo Prof mesh don´t think be ok because of the difference in color of Titanium and polished steel.
I feel the deployant clasp itself is not the problem but the fact that it employs fixed holes in the bracelet. It makes very easy and secure to adjust but doesn´t have the continuous adjustment of a conventional mesh. The exact fitting depends on the owne...
You are absolutely correct concerning the fitment holes and the bracelet Abel. I also think that causes the problem with the how the bracelet fits...
as for the Ploprof sharkmesh, they now make it in titanium so maybe a 20mm version might be something to think about in the future. As for now, people with smaller wrists (less than 17mm) would have to use a NATO or strap instead of the offered mesh brace...
You are right about the Titanium shark mesh. I had forgotten about that variant of Plo Prof. Nato straps are very nice option specially for thin wrists. There are other options as well...
... like the rubber straps which offers Omega in other Seamaster 300M models or sail cloth straps or canvas straps all of them can be taken in sea or pool water without problems. It´s really a shame you can´t wear it on the original mesh bracelet. Have yo...
The more and more I see this one...
I think it is my favorite of all the 300M's...specially on that bracelet! Thanks for sharing! The piece is pretty sweet too!! -D-
Congratulations my dear friend!
It is a very nice acquisition! There’s a lot to like about this one, enjoy it a lot in the company of your loved ones. Regards. René
It's a cool watch. Thanks for a wonderful photo set!
You enthusiasm makes it, I enjoy feeling your pleasure for this acquisition!
Many congratulations again Abel!
What nice people at your boutique. always good to hear these kind of stories. many beautiful shot you have shared! When I saw the press release I have not expected that I would love the design language of the Milanese strap. The beads layout is excellent....
