Sharing my latest addition to my Bond related collection...
A new piece for my collection to make company to my beloved NTTD Bond Omega Seamaster 300m: Jack the bull dog NTTD edition by Royal Doulton.
RD has offered the figurine of this charming bull dog in the past through several editions.
It had come to symbolize the determination of British character and specially those editions issued during WWII honoured the bravery and determination of military personnel and the UK Prime Minister, Winston Churchill.
This figurine of Jack the bull dog made appearance in Skyfall and Spectre Bond films and returns in NTTD.
It survives a big explosion with a few cracks on its face and charring of the Union Jack which covers its back.
The figurine repaired with glue is bequeated to Bond by her chief “M” and now is a prized object of 007.
This new edition of Jack released by RD after the new Bond film comes from the factory showing the “repaired” face of the dog as shown in the film and I felt it makes a charming beautiful company to my watch and a cute mascot on my desk!
Best cordial regards,
Abel

Thank you so much dear Nicolas!!
As a Bond fan for so many years I badly needed it! 😉 Lol!! Abrazos amigo mio! Abel
Thats such a fine collectible, because it has such a subtle yet emotionally important role in the movie. i actually thought about this piece too. Congratulations!
by the way, how would you compare the nttd with the sub, in terms of wearing experience and quality? Thanks!
Hello Reuven! Thank you for your comments. Agree with you that it had an emotionally important role in the movie ending of Spectre. It is a nice...
... Piece for fans of Bond I feel. Regarding the comparisson you ask me it is very difficult for me to answer as I am a long time fan of Submariners since I was very young when I got my first Sub, a 5513 in 1966. That was the only watch I wore for more th...
Thank you very much for your very kind and long explanation.
I currently have both a Seamaster and a Rolex diver, so its hard to decide if i should buy a planet ocean or a yacht master. Your watch looks very nice - glad you a happy with it!
My big pleasure Reuven!! Always hard decisions to choose...
... between one brand/model or another. As always it is a very personal choice as it depends on personal taste about esthetics and how it feels on your own wrist. I’m very fond of my Yatch Master but you know it is very difficult to find a Rolex in a Role...
Never give up Reuven!
Look forward to your good news soon sharing your new catch with us!! Good luck with your hunt! Best! Abel
☺️☺️☺️. Thank you my friend!!
We love this things, isn’t it? Can’t wait to view the new film!! Great shot!! Thank you!! Abel
A watch I have considered a couple of times
If only I was not a titanium fan. The watch looks really attractive. Enjoy!! Alex
Thank you so much for your kind comments Alex! I got the watch last year wishing to wear it when the film was going to be released in April...
... But pandemia changed the plans of everybody around the World. The titanium gives an special touch of color which makes it attractive as a military watch it is presumed to be. It also makes it very comfortable on the wrist due to its light weight compa...
It is true dear Abel the titanium color is very attractive
Especially with this watches’ colors all across. For me it is only how titanium ages and the easiness of how it scratches and how visible the scratches appear to then be. Enjoy this great catch my friend, Alex
It is true dear Alex what you tell about the drawbacks of...
... Ti. Thank you so much for your kind good wishes! I am enjoying watch and statuette so much! Best! Abel
Thank you so much Echi! It's really a cool piece! Yeas, it made appearance in Skyfall and Spectre. As a matter of fact there are three editions...
... Of this little cute dog from RD, one for each film. The first one for Skyfall is "mint" and for the other two films "repaired" after the explosion in Spectre. The first one is a collectors item long discontinued and high prices are demanded for one of...
Ahhhh! I had to buy one too
And so..I contacted Royal Doulton if they still have the NTTD edition. It will be a nice table piece to admire and imagine oneself as a Secret Agent.
Hi Cookies! You can get the NTTD edition...
... through Amazon right now if you don’t find it through the RD source. Agree with you about having the little dog on our desk. I feel a bit like 007 now! Lol!! Just a joke. It is true it is so cute and a nice object to have if you are a Bond fan! Cheers...
You know how to enjoy collecting watches, dear Abel. 👏👏👏
This Bond Seamaster is quite an attractive, cool watch. To pair and connect it with a figurine of the Bond theme makes both an even more intense ecperience. Congrats to it!
Thank you so much my dear Count!!
Appreciate so much your kind compliments!! Agree with you that it feels so nice to complement this wonderful watch with this figurine both connected with my fiction hero! Cheers! Abel
