Looks fantastic, @abrod520. Do you find the dial to have more of a fume effect, sunray effect, or a bit of both?

Definitely sunray. It's more metallic-effect than the other ceramics. Not quite as 'deep' as I had initially expected based on the announcement, but very interactive and enticing in person in a way that all of the live photos I've seen so far just haven't captured. I had basically written these off as not for me, but trying them on changed that for sure!

Thanks for sharing this one Virgile. I'm guessing you've ordered it with BoR bracelet and with non vintage lume. I'm luvin that brushed case too and that Seiko NH35 movement should work well, I've had great experience with it.👍

Thanks, @VirgileF. This one seemed familiar like maybe you or someone else had pointed it out previously. I ordered on the brushed bracelet as well as ordered the black strap. Seems like a good value.

I love mine. It's truly special. In fact, I just placed an order for the vintage Summer Blue.

Argh…you guys are killing me, ha. I thought I had mustered the strength to pass on those, and I am wearing a Seamaster now. They are tempting. I could easily see them being something that if I pass on now, I’ll regret later.

I've had a look at them, they're nice.

But the 60th Anniversary Bond is still tops on my Seamaster wishlist, followed closely by the green.

Actually, tops on my Seamaster wishlist would be a Swatch x Seamaster series based on the James Bond films. If they were to create something like this, I think I'd buy everyone.
- Goldfinger Connery in Gold with a Connery style NATO strap
- The Living Daylights Dalton in Black with white full lume dial like the Heuer Night Diver
- Moonraker Moore in White or Light Gray
- No Time To Die Craig in Beige with a tropical dial like the NTTD Seamaster with NTTD style NATO strap
- The World is Not Enough Brosnan in Blue, any Brosnan 007 film in blue
- On Her Majesty's Secret Service Lazenby, don't care, he's my least favorite Bond. Such a wimp coming after Connery. 👎

Plus they could do Bond Girls as well.
- Honey Rider in a honey color
- Vesper Lynd in green for Ava Green
- Tiffany Case in Tiffany
- Pussy Galore 🙄
etc. etc. etc.

BIIIG want. Most live photos just don’t quite capture how cool this is.

Any contacts at Omega to put this into work?

Although I do remember seeing some Swatch Bond watches released a while ago

Thought the UK increase was today. Worth picking something up if cheap

Nothing to get tempted by so far then. Discounts decent?
