Omega SPECTRE Seamaster 300 - Warning pic heavy
Bond44
Vauxhall CrossPosts: 1,581MI6 Agent
Having arrived back in Blighty after my latest mission (OK business trip) and now reunited with the rest of the package I thought I would share some shots of the grand opening this morning.
The package is not small and weighs in at 3.4kgs (it says so on the box!)
It comes in an Omega black outer box that has manuals and cards plus a polishing cloth
That incorporates the main watch box with a secret combo - you can break the code yourself (think about it)
And there she blows I give you the SM300 LE on NATO with 007 logo and brushed steel fittings note the curved Spring bars for the better fit for NATO strap
Open up the lid to the secret compartment and you get access to you accessories Brushed steel bracelet, Spring bar tool and Loupe plus spare straight Spring bars
Metal bracelet is brushed and clasp is a beasty but has the 007 logo
In summary it's a great package I fully commend it to anyone.
Now I am off to enjoy it :007)

All in all a great presentation package from Omega
It is much better than I expected being initially rather cynical about the watch and it's Bond branding. Whether it's worth the extra on the price is down to the individual to decide (I was lucky). However even at full price the quality of everything you get in the box is very good and I was happy to pay it having given it some thought.
I will be honest this is a very nice wearable investment for me. So why not you only live once and it's better than having cash in the bank doing nothing these days - plus nice touch for the premier opening night
Cheers :007)

BTW, wonderful watch Bond44 and a great result with all those smart-cookie duty free purchases. Enjoy! -{

It's duty free but not quiet completely VAT free so saved about 18% of the RRP but was still cheaper than RRP for production version. Also due to leg work I had done prior I knew most ADs would not move on the price due to its popularity making this pretty much a no brainer. Though it still caught me by surprise and the buying experience was not the usual one - I only had about 10 mins before my gate closed had a bit of a sweat on I can tell you!
Hope that helps
Cheers
Sorry still don't get it? They know they are numbered are 001-7007 so what does covering it up do?
Nothing. It makes no difference whatsoever, but some people don't like giving away their edition or serial number. I don't mind giving away my edition number, but I won't post the serial as well.
As an AJB MI6 agent here - have you not heard of OPSEC?
For me happy to share shots but not numbers - why because I have (it's a personal thing about personal security).
Also In watch collecting give the fakers too much and you will get cloned as mentioned before (look up fake SM300's on the web there is one fake that has the same serial number replicated 100's of times - I nearly got stung on that one a few years back on eBay).
So why make it easy for them and broadcast it to the world - simple really.
Cheers :-)
My local AD said they had 8 coming and that dropped to 4 and all had deposits on them. Restock date if there was one was unknown so I started looking elsewhere but then purely by chance struck lucky.
Good luck and Happy hunting for those tracking one down!

Sincere apologies but you won't find me talking you out of it - I failed to do that to myself!! :007)

Saying that, I walked passed the store in Bond St and looked in the window. They had the LE Aqua Terra which I had no interest in at all (although it does look nice and subtle in person), and they had the regular SM300 too on NATO. So I walked on.
A day later, same time, same street, same boutique they had cleared the window and put the new SM300 LE on display in the box, so I popped in to ponder it, with no real desire to buy at all. Found out DC was in the store the day before. How cool would that have been, going in, buying the watch, possibly getting DC's picture wearing it and the certificate signed too. Bugger. Anyway, after seeing the watch, it was a no brainer. With the other halfs background at Omega and stories of Brozza, and mine at Rolex with stories of the competition, and some edited, enhanced and plain untrue real spy stories thrown in for good measure, the staff made an afternoon of it and we downed nearly two bottles of Bolly, and left with two more. Also managed to get a screen accurate, brushed NATO, which was a showroom prototype they had in since earlier in the year, and I left seriously chuffed, if not slightly squiffy too. Great experience no doubt enhanced by Emmas once high status at Omega impressing them or scaring them. Don't know which, but it made me happy
However, there where 2 of them available in the Hamburg Boutique beginning of September - they previously refused to take a fixed order from me 2 weeks before
This aside, the thought came across that Asp9mm is AJB's Jeremy Clarkson - always making an arse of himself
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
It about 56,800.00 HKD = 7,328.80 USD
As ASP says come the 27th you'll have difficulty finding one.

This is exactly it! I have been more than content with my PO on Omega Nato, but now I find myself looking at it, then looking at Bond44's photos and thinking that I should put the bracelet back on the PO and buy the SM300 LE!
I know what you're all saying about them being very hard to come by, especially after SPECTRE has been released, and I almost wish they were all gone now so I wouldn't have this decision to make!
