Well, the sticker on the xtal says "AG", so I expect it to be made by AGF - whose blue SMP was included in Steve's comparison.
By having a look at the further pictures, the SN is the same as ORF one, so it might really be made by AGF, because ORF and AGF share the same case.
Thanks for the info!

Didn't the comparison chart state that the ORF's blue color was noticeably off?

@superflysocal Yes, ORF bezel insert was actually the darkest one of the lot in the reglular blue SMP's comparison chart, no mention about AGF one though.
In early batches, ORF bezel insert was even darker!
But if you ask me, even if it was not gen like and red seamster text was hard to read, personally I liked it more, because gen insert and dial color is too light for my tastes.

Anyway, regular SMP has ceramic bezel insert and ceramic dial, while this 60th SMP has alu dial and alu bezel insert, or at least gen is made is this way.
We will see how accurately AGF will match the blue gen color.

I like it a lot, only downside for me is the caseback (with screws).

I like titanium better but to this SMP you can combine a ss bracelet.

 

[imranbecks]

Looks good. I wonder if they managed to replicate the movement of Bond within the gunbarrel on the caseback..

 

[imranbecks]

I just saw the video. The Bond silhouette isn't animated at the back. Doesn't matter though since it's gonna be on the underside when it's on the wrist. It's probably something that won't be easy to replicate. With the exception of the mesh because they still can't get the mesh pattern done right to look like the genuine steel mesh, it's still a pretty decent looking rep overall IMO.

The good news is that the 007 decoration on the glass back-case might anyway hide the poor finishing which often happens on red writings in ORF movements

 

[eBoy]

Any chance of a high end tier rep of this though?

Once you got used to them, it's tough to "go back".

 

[correllian G]

That crown looks like it sticks out quite a fair way.. otherwise I wouldn't mind it.

No whispers of VSF or ORF picking this up?
I really want this version badly...

 

[Phattbam]

subbing for updates

 

[pippo]

Surprisingly no trusted dealer here has it in stock according to websites

 

[mystic_cowboy]

looking forward to a high end version of this

Would love to just purchase the bezel to put onto my VSF SMP Blue. After seeing the NTTD (and this) with the illuminated bezel, the difference it makes to the look of the watch is huge

Alot of videos popping up online of Gen reviews and it just looks gorgeous!
Omega have been nailing the Bond watches lately.
Although I do wish they had gone for a thinner profile and scrapped the gimmicky case back..

Agreed, if it wasn't for the questionable caseback and thickness, it would be almost up there with the old 2254.50 in my personal list

Gen is 14.3 mm thick, against 13.6 mm of the regular one.
So, deviation is exactly equal to 00.7 mm

For me the ideal thickness was the pre ceramic model, e.g: 2254.50 , 12mm thickness.
If we take that as baseline, deviation = +19.16%

Well, my comment was rather a joke about 007 figures on a Bond watch @pippo
