Acquiring the No Time To Die Omega Watch

[@05Rudey]

3 years on, I'm still obsessed over this watch.

[@247tubefan]

Sharing this experience with us makes us feel like it's our watch collectively. Take good care of our watch.⌚

[@TheBondExperience]

I am so happy to hear you say that! That’s what I was going for.

[@TheBondExperience]

Thanks so much!

[@Matt-ck9pz]

Thank you David, you convinced me to walk into a boutique in London and make the purchase. Had both straps thrown in and all the gifts including a full bottle of Bollonger Champagne. I would highly recommend. The experience to anyone

[@SpartanB377]

I absolutely LOVE this watch. Titanium case, lumed bezel insert...everything about it is so beautiful. Back in November I bought my Grail watch which is a Seamaster Professional Diver 300m. I fell in love with watches because of James Bond. For 10 years I have wanted and desired an Omega. I would love to add a Bond version to my collection. If you love and appreciate these watches as much as I do, I know you will love this watch for the rest of your lifetime. Congrats on getting such an amazing piece.

[@fromfinlandwithlove5276]

I've been looking at it in a watch store in Helsinki... and this video makes not buying it so much harder. David, you make my life expensive : ) /Klaus

LOL....brother, we are one and the same, you know that!

[@qbranchmedia9589]

Congratulations David! Thanks for sharing the journey and watch with us. We're living vicariously through you!

[@Turb0wned]

I’ve never had a bad experience at any Omega Boutiques. I love the NTTD watch, almost bought it and maybe I will in the future but after trying it on, I still think the Spectre is the nicest Bond Omega watch till this day. Maybe next year I’ll retire it for a bit and buy the NTTD.

[@TheMaximus38]

Hi David, having this watch since Feb. 22 I’ve experienced 100% the same emotions like you. Very happy with it, wearing it daily…. Very much appreciate this look and style! Thanks for this video ! Juergen from Germany

[@davidcrane7603]

Congratulations, David. It's a great watch, and acquisition. Wear it in good health, and enjoy. Oh, and keep up the great work.

[@TheBondExperience]

Thank you!

[@DoubleVisionSoundSystem]

Great video David! This watch was designed entirely for function. You mention the wave dials and aqua terra, and how much cleaner this is. It’s because it serves its purpose as a military tool. The lack of polished parts is because reflections would risk drawing attention out in the field. They literally designed the watch for its intended use and environment. Congrats on acquiring it! 👏🏻

[@TheBondExperience]

Thank you....and great tidbits!

[@remingtonsteele3581]

Congratulations David!, as you know I got mine last week. FYI I called the Omega Sydney store 4 times and no one picked up. I left four (4) voicemail messages, stating I wanted to buy the 300M Seamaster, and NO ONE EVER RETURNED MY CALL. So I got mine at Swiss Concept at a great price. Omega’s stores customer service does not exist. All the best mate, enjoy!!

[@TheBondExperience]

Nice one!

[@sachawelzel9130]

Congratulations on the watch! Your excitement is affectious.

[@TheBondExperience]

Yeah, it was hard to hide the excitement.

[@danb9012]

Huge congratulations on your NTTD SMP. I was smiling broadly as you unboxed it and strapped it on. I'e had mine for 2 weeks now and Omega have really nailed it with this watch. Enjoy it in great health.

[@20thcenturyboy85]

Awesome Watch! Looks so Fantastic on you. -Finally viewed the "No Time to Die" movie. THANKS!

[@elliotrussell577]

Very happy for you, David! No one deserves to own one of these more than you.

[@andrewwolkowich]

Beautiful watch. Milady Samantha and I were very much looking forward to going to see No Time to Die. Regrettably with the delays she passed away on August 8th from her diabetes, and won't be viewing it by my side. Unlike bond in a previous film I am not enjoying death. But watching your review is reminding me of some of the Joy's of life. Thankyou.

[@TheBondExperience]

Oh wow...so sorry to hear. I am glad the videos can bring you some joy...some solace.

[@mikaelingegard463]

Congrats to the watch! This is probably the best review of this watch...so much passion and excitement for this piece....it takes you back to the first Omega that I bought...remember the feeling👍🏽

[@MrShanebizzle]

Love your videos, David. So great to see you so joyful and enthusiastic. And you're right, the customer experience plays a huge role in owning something so treasured. Take care!

[@dracodin]

David, your enthusiasm is wonderful. Your first video of this model played a huge part in me deciding I had to have it and it had to be on the titanium mesh. I had to wait 3 months to get mine, during which I drove myself crazy obsessing over it. To clearly see how much owning it means to you, the excitement, the childish giddyness and the beaming smile, it's just so great that we both managed to get something we coveted so badly. I'm sure you'll love owning yours as much as I do mine and want to wish you many happy memories with it, especially wearing it when we finally get to see the film and the part it plays. I look forward to watching many more of your videos. All the best fella 👍

[@adamloake]

[@mrt5725]

Congratulations David! I know and love the excitement of a new “incoming!” When all the research, and trials come together in that stunning new piece for your collection. Wear it in the best of health, and thanks for all you do for the Bond community!

[@complicatedtime]

Manfredi is the real deal. They understand luxury retail - and even go the extra distance with experience to differentiate themselves from E-Commerce - even during these strange times. Great video. I typically despise “unboxing” videos - as they have some perverted, delayed gratification, almost burlesque tone to them - but your pace and story was solid.

[@TheBondExperience]

Thank you so much! I am glad I didn't go for the burlesque angle....I am awful at fan dancing.

[@timhardman9386]

Dear David, Many thanks for entertaining us with this story, highly appeciated ;). My experience with the Omega store was great. Last time I went in there to get my Seamaster Vintage serviced. They did not charge a dime, but instead advised me to save a few hundred I was about to spend on the service in order to preserve the original sealing which makes it waterproof. It is not only about making money for them (at least Hamburg, Jungfernstieg), but they do really care about the watches and the history and value of it. Kudos to Jun Li and her boss, Mr Müller.

[@MJagger89]

Omega confirmed in an interview the watch is... more than just a watch ;)

[@dees9502]

Of course they did lol

[@kentishmale1969]

Lovely little touch to see the British Army issued equipment arrow on the back :)

[@tetty8193]

Well done David, you deserve it for keeping us all entertained during this terrible time that we find ourselves in. I to have coveted this watch but sadly it's out of reach specially when it's more than a Submariner. Keep up the good work. Nice shirt by the way.

Congratulations. You can finally give your big size Casino Royale Planet Ocean a rest and start wearing this one more 👍👍👍👍

[@TheBondExperience]

It deserved a rest!

[@watchgeek6712]

It was fun to see your enthusiasm during the unboxing. I recently purchased a Seamaster Diver 300M. I debated between the black and the blue dial version. My AD had the black in stock but I chose the blue dial. It's the dial color worn by Bond. Choosing blue meant waiting for a few weeks but it was worth the wait. Wear your No Time To Die Seamaster in the best of health!

[@christopherjensen5007]

I purchased the same 'Bond' NTTD Seamaster last month. I bought mine on the NATO but now it's on a black rubber strap. It's so light on the wrist. I absolutely love this watch and I also wear it every day.

[@Werejammin2353]

Amazing vid! I can feel your excitement! Keep it up man

[@nt2girls]

Thanking for sharing your Bond Experience. Your excitement was contagious! My husband will be buying this watch in the near future and I'm sure he will love it as much as you do. Thanks for the Manfredi connection. We may end up buying from them if our local boutique experience is not everything we'd want it to be.

[@chrisb5986]

My Omega AD is fantastic. They brought out the Bond Seamaster OHMSS 50th anniversary for me to try on, when I bought my FOIS, and are super jazzed about Omega. I love the Bond franchise, but I would like to see Omega move on from the moon and Bond thing a little.

[@mannycalavera2335]

I got this in my recommendations and come from a "watch community" rather than a Bond / movie background. But watching you talk about and unwrap your watch was entertaining as hell. Especially as you are trying to get through the horological/movement/watch lingo. I am sorry to hear about your bad experience. I honestly think it is a fluke as my own experiences have been so good. Congratulations. Wear it in good health.

[@markoramius2873]

Big congratulations and great point on customer service! Fantastic watch

[@TheBondExperience]

Customer service is hugely important.

[@shonen84]

Thanks for sharing your excitement! I’ve been doing the exact same thing with the watch I had been looking for: the 8500 cal Planet Ocean 42. After years I’ve finally found a good one, pre owned but recently serviced (2/2020) and sold with box and papers at a very reasonable price by the good people at Watchfinder. It is 0/+1 per day to my high tech Seiko Astron GPS Quartz. So it isn’t just a marvelously versatile yet elegant sports watch, but also a precision timepiece. I’m sure you will enjoy this wonderful 300M as well. Wear it in good health!

[@PaulKyriazi]

I watched your entire unboxing full-screen and enjoyed your excitement. Also, really like your Bond experience video intro.

[@nicholasdavies6264]

You are so passionate about watches, just as I am. I own this beautiful watch . Enjoy it ! The NATO strap for this watch is superb. I’m surprised it wasn’t supplied ?

[@derekklingel]

I received mine from a watch dealer in jersey back in April. Still shocked I had it since then. Haven’t worn anything else since.

[@TheBondExperience]

[@TheBondExperience]

Yeah, can’t wait!

[@bertramprosser8810]

Love your enthusiasm for all things Bond, David. Love your videos. I'm happy when I'm not crazy about things I can't afford, such as this watch. I got a different Bond watch this past weekend, paid a quarter of that for a Breitling Top Time. It has real patina, and unlike this watch I actually do feel a connection to Bond, because I have actually seen it in a Bond movie doing Bondian things. To each his own. Variety is the spice of life. Keep up the good work and enjoy!

[@TheBondArmory]

Eventually I’ll “pull the trigger” so to speak, on a Bond watch. The problem I run into (aside from not spending what I’m saving for the watch on something else) is deciding which one speaks to me, feels like “The One.” I love the Tag Hauer Pro Diver that Dalton wore in TLD, I love the Omega 300 from Goldeneye that Brosnan wore, I love the Craig’s Planet Ocean and the NTTD watch as well, and of course Connery’s Rolex, but i could never decide which one was my true Grail Piece.

[@bmwofboganville456]

The Omega-Bond tie in does work for me. Even though I know it was created from scratch in the mid 1990s. The power of marketing!

[@TheBondExperience]

Truly!

[@wingi7722]

Yay! Thanks for sharing the opening with me. This is my favourite watch at the moment. Of course I can't afford this right now. Really looking forward to the movie. So I've actually ordered a cheap but half decent HOMAGE of this piece by a brand called Phylida. Should arrive soon. The colours, markings and aesthetics look pretty good and it has a date (which kind of makes it different in it's own right without being a total rip-off, as well as it's own branding and of course it's not titanium (I suspect the lume will be meh) but it does have 100m of water resistance - not bad for $80 though. It'll give me the sort of feel and I can wear it when watching the movie - after sourcing a stainless mesh strap for it and a Bond Nato...

[@andrewstorm8240]

I’m not keen on the watch but do appreciate the quality of Omega and the selling process

[@ultimatebondfan332]

You can't beat the watch from Live and Let Die. Clever simple and effective. Really like the bit at the end where Bond uses it to cut the rope.

[@MJagger89]

Oh, and coaxial movement which is only available from Omega and is a genius mechanical marvel!

[@TheBondExperience]

Agreed all around!

[@thecomedian6920]

Bought it today. They actually gave me 1k off since I paid cash. Also gave me two boxes - the regular and a large wooden one - the AD also treated me quite well. I have a collection of Panerai and an Ennebi, but I fell in love with this one.

[@davidwarburton8890]

Happy for you man! I really dig the watch.

[@duncanpill]

So, so important is the customer experience and story. I purchased my omega Seamaster from a lovely lady who’s husband I knew from the Aussie SAS. she worked for a jeweller in Perth called Smales - She was actually wearing her husbands special edition Omega seamaster black dial the day I went in to the jeweller. These watches were Only issued to SAS soldiers with their service number etched on the watch itself.. they did a similar thing for the UK SBS. It’s sure was Chunky on her wrist but very cool. My watch with the blue dial is still a prized possession that’s seen some adventure with me and more to come.

[@vishthestampede]

When I went to get my first (and only) Omega, I almost convinced myself to get the Planet Ocean from Casino Royale (the Black and White one) but got the orange one instead. Some times I wonder if I should’ve got the Bond one, but I love the orange PO.

[@TomCamies]

I absolutely love this watch, but I just feel like it's priced too highly for what it is.

[@TheBondExperience]

[@matthewsliwerski6036]

I admire the the presentation of the watch and think it looks better in your video than other pics I’ve seen. While I like that Bond appreciates the finer things in life, but is it just me who is annoyed to see him peacocking his way into a battle sequence in bizarrely-necked designer sweaters and a $9 grand watch??? I have a $70 atomic solar Casio g-shock that keeps better time and I could smash 100 of with a sledgehammer just for funsies that would do the job just as well and I’d still come out ahead 😂. I’d hate to scratch a fancy watch like that in a fight in a villain’s lair 😁...

Have one on hold at Mayor’s Jewelers. VERY pricey for a Seamaster. Among other pieces, I have a titanium Planet Ocean 600M that cost 12K and worth every penny. But a basic 300M Seamaster with kitschy coloring is a tough one. I will decide tomorrow lol. Oh, and its not a limited edition timepiece. I doubt value will increase much. Tough one.

@@nicktalksbond Totally agree with you. I do like the bracelet on this new Omega, but it's just ridiculous the price. They know watch nerds like myself who love the 007 world might succumb to the purchase. If you can afford it, congratulations, but I still think previous 007 Omega's have been more my style.
