Sweet collection brother!

Time to build yourself a 2531.80 franken, like mine. Explosive Q-pen is optional :cool:

Nice, no plans in getting a gen bracelet? What is the movement in your franken?
Lastly which watch did you use as a base for that beauty? Can't find any decent case bezel and caseback combos, the closed cartel smp watches were released decade ago and long gone dangit

If I were to go for a gen bracelet, I'd just sell this and buy the gen 2531.80, since they're going for around $1,500. As for the movement, it's sporting a A2836 I pulled from my SMP-C project I was building.

You can get the case from a cheapie 21J Seamaster. I got mine on DHgate for about $60. They accept a gen crystal and bezel insert, as you can see here. I'll add that the gen bezel inserts are damn hard to find.

I'm almost on the same boat, thinking of selling some of my rep collection or most of them and flip it for a 2531.80 or a reduced speedy. Wear it in good health man

I agree. Great collection there pal.

Definitely worth investing in the blue bond Seamaster 2541, 2531 or 2220 as that’s basically the watch that started so many of us on our watch obsessions. Was for me anyway!

My gen blue bond smp is one of my prized possessions, but for me your bond collection would also look even more amazing with a 2500 era planet ocean a la casino royale at 45mm on rubber, or quantum of solace with the 42mm on bracelet.

On a non omega note but staying all things Bond...i am also a proud owner of a genuine rolex no date sub which is another essential bond accessory in my view.

I am considering getting a gen of either the 45.5 PO or the 42mm version as they are both relatively cheap in the preowned market. I have the reps of them both, but would love to get a gen of either one. Perhaps I'm leaning more towards the 42mm one that he wore in Quantum.

Its cool that you have a gen Rolex Sub. I can only dream of owning that since the price for it is very high now unless I want to be on the wait list for one. The closest I have is the Steinhart Ocean One 39 ceramic. It's not a Rolex, but it looks fantastic.

very nice - im a big fan of the skyfall version planet ocean

Second that vote on a PO Skyfall. It is the fav of the bunch in my display cabinet. And not only does it look great, it feels great on the wrist. A weight that is noticed, flashy bits that sparkle (but not too much, has a quality feel and begs to be looked at.

Nice collection! Quick one, where’s the watch box from?

Cheers,

The watchbox is from Rainer in Germany. They're my favorite pick, you can't go wrong with them, top quality for the money.
