I'm asking about Magnoli Kazan Tie (Silver). I read here that severals Bond's ties are very good quality. I only have Montenegro tie and I disapointed about this consideration, but I don't have another old Bond ties to compare it.
Is quality of Kazan Tie similar to Montenegro tie or is it better?
Thanks a lot in advance.

    The Magnoli Silver Kazan tie is, in my opinion, the same high quality as his other Bond ties. The silk feels great & ties a beautiful knot. You mentioned owning Magnoli's Montenegro tie, which is my personal favourite of his Bond ties, although that's really a matter of personal taste & preference. I'd say the quality of both is similar. The only difference I can think of is that the Silver Kazan tie is self-tipped.

    However, the major issue that I have with the Silver Kazan tie is with the silver ovals. The stock picture on Magnoli's website doesn't really show it, but the silver is actually very sparkly & glittery, and in that regard does not resemble the original Tom Ford tie that was seen onscreen. This photo compares the Silver Kazan tie to the Tom Ford: http://www.postimage.org/image.php?v=gxESBCJ

    If the sparkly silver ovals do not bother you, then by all means order the Silver Kazan tie, as it's half the price of the regular one. But if you want a tie that is identical to the one worn by Daniel Craig, then I think you should shell out the extra $30 & order the regular Kazan tie.

    EDIT: If you're interested, here's a discussion thread on the 2 Magnoli Kazan ties: http://www.ajb007.co.uk/topic/34750/kazan-magnoli-ties-are-up-2-versions/

    Do not order the silver one, it really is not wear-able. It's quite ridiculous, it looks like someone dropped sparkly glue on your tie. I bought two and had to sell them back as I couldn't even give them as gifts, I was too embarrassed.

    The non-silver version, even though I haven't seen it, looks better.

    Dear BLU8. I only bought Magnoli Montenegro tie because it is my favourite Bond tie. But when I received the tie I was very disapointed with it. I think this tie have similar quality like a tie that you can buy in a street market for 10 €. Then I disagreement with you about the quality of this item. It is my opinion.
    Thanks a lot for your post.

    Thanks a lot Sir. But I decided buy neither of two. I prefer to wait to find the original or another similar tie.

    Well the 60 USD not-silver one might be good, I don't know. I'd recommand that, because you... might not find the original one. Even if you were prepared to pay some big money, very few people have this one in particular. I mean I don't think we're more than three here to have it, and if someone has it elsewhere in the world, he won't know it's precious and won't put it on eBay, and chances are you'll never find one.

    Sounds harsh, but if you really like it, maybe you shouldn't skip the Magnoli.

    Hey everyone,
    Could someone upload a picture of the silver Kazan tie maybe in combination with a white shirt?
    I cant imagine this tie looking so bad even when it is glittering silver :))!
    Are there any alternatives to Magnoli?
