Well done Welshie!!

Totally agree that the grey charcoal was the one

Not wishing to rain on your parade, I think I have also completed Skyfall and a few others

Very impressive! My favourite is, of course, the Connery navy grenadine. I have about 10 navy grenadine ties, though they aren't all the same, and a couple are fake grenadine. None of my navy grenadine ties are from Turnbull & Asser, though many makers use the same Fermo Fossati silk. Turnbull & Asser uses the wrong side, so I've had other ties made with the wrong side.

I have a rare Turrnbull & Asser ribbed tie from Diamonds Are Forever, but nobody cares about Diamonds Are Forever.

Very nice mate!

I have the Quantum ones but stupidly sold my Brosnan ones inc the rare copper Hamburg T&A tie and Dunhill cufflinks!

I do love the Quantum collection, my fave of the films

Cool - which one is that?? Imagine the T&A ones turn up now and then on fleabay but nobody pays attention to all the vintage ones!

Ive yet to grab a Grenadine, have a few knitted ones which I love the look (Navy Sinclair and Black Tom Ford)

Hi Welshy, sorry to hijack your thread. Lovely collection by the way!

I recently bought this TF tie from Selfridges as it reminds me of the QoS pattern. I don't own the original but thought maybe you could comment as you do...

Note in real life it's more navy than blue compared to the pics

I saw that tie when I was in Selfridges a few weeks ago and thought it might be a reissue - it looks pretty much like it to me. Its def the same pattern and similar shade when seen in real life though unless both ties in my hand hard to be 100%.

Chuck a real pic up and I will dig mine out. The pic above of mine is not great capturing the blue

Thanks mate. Here you go

If this is a close reissue I hope they do the same for the Bolivia tie. I love that colour with the brown suit...

welshboy78

Here is mine (more subtle blue)

Cheers Gary for the Charcoal tie (I'm 100% convinced its the correct one despite never being confirmed)

You're welcome, Paul!

I'd love to get this tie, even if it's just a "close enough", but Selfridges won't ship it to me in the USA. Anyone willing to pick one up in store for me and ship to the US? I'd be most grateful! Please PM me if you are willing.

What lesson was learnt the hard way?

Wait until Omega confirm the next Bond watch despite what the pics show

Found myself buying books of late!!

Not a popular book but I enjoyed it (even though not very Fleming)

Asp9mm

I enjoyed it for a modern update. Silver dip will clean that bullet up. They all go like that straight from the publishers and left alone.

Are you getting the Ltd Ed 300 then?

Mine still sealed -{
