I dropped in here asking for advice over an Omega Speedmaster Pro Moonphase version, and had a fine offer from Dom about a month ago.

But then you know how it goes - you start looking around at other watches, new, used, modern, vintage and suddenly find you cant really decide what you want - sound familiar ??

I knew I wanted a Omega watch but after thinking about the Moonphase, the dial was quite cluttered and I found the date difficult to read.

In one of my (many) internet searches I found a Seamaster that had been bought out as a limited edition Bond watch with the rifling pattern on the face and 007 in silver on the end of the second hand - I knew I had to have one.

So thanks to Watchfinder.co.uk I am now the proud owner of a Ltd Edition Bond Seamaster AND a new standard Speedmaster Pro 1861.

I am so happy and love both watches.

So - here we go.

First the classic Speedmaster Pro



The Seamaster and box



The Seamaster dial - I love it.



And my two other watches - both Tags

My trusty old SeL - red face is unusual.



And my Kirium F1 steel braclet



I wanted the Speedy Pro for ages but now I have one I want to see how I go with the manual winding and lack of date.

Enjoy the pics.

Cheers - absolutely love the Seamaster - don't want to take it off.

My wife hopes that watch collecting doesn't become a new hobby !

Yeah I like to put my Seamaster on every now and then. smile
It has a lovely hefty feel to it; in many ways I prefer the feel to my Submariner.
