Well, I waited a few days to make my decision, and went ahead and ordered a Bond Seamaster today. Should be in route right now, and in my hands on Monday. Yippie!!!!!!!!!!  |

I JUST missed a sweatheart of a deal last week.....buggers.  But, it will be cool to have one brand new too.  John |

John
When you had your heart set on that Bond SMP I knew it would end up on your wrist.
It was just a matter of time ;D ;D ;D
Hope you enjoy it

You can't beat that new watch feeling.As I once said in another forum a long time ago,when you described that anticipation of opening that box for the first time(Rolex Reference Pages)you won me.New watches are wonderfull,you have warranty,backup and authenticity. Another factor is no blemishes or marks. For the guys that buy 2nd hand don't get me wrong there are some real bargains to be had but for me I will scrimp and save that bit extra. Well done John enjoy that watch it is a modern day classic. Cheers Aaron  |

I'm glad I finally found one....I had a hard time tracking one down! It seems there's a bit of a shortage of Bond Seamasters right now.  John |

I actually tried to find a used one, but wasn't successful. In fact, I located only one dealer that had a new one left in stock and snagged his last remaining Bond Seamaster.  Given that I'm a huge James Bond fan, it will be nice that my Bond Seamaster is brand new though. John |

In my "dream" collection i would surely include that one (and several others too)  But the "Bond" is special because it's the first dive watch that caught my eye. And that bracelet is so comfortable Enjoy. |
