I made a ghetto James Bond 60th Seamaster - does it work?
My boss wears the newish James Bond 60th anniversary Seamaster Diver 300m - and it’s a smart piece. But it’s £7.7k and at 42mm a bit big for me..
So I’ve grabbed a mid size 1990s original on the Omega bracelet (for £1k). Switched it to a £35 Milanese. And I think it works well.
So what do you prefer on it. The original Omega bracelet or the replacement Milanese.

Fairly new to watch collecting. Super fast collecting journey! I've had a bit of everything, small gold pretty watches, large rugged watches, vintage British field watches. From Casio to Patek and eve...

You done well getting it for sun 1k. Is it quartz?

Yes and deliberately so - I love a good quartz. Especially for a watch like this I likely won’t have on every day.
I switch between the OEM and mesh too!!
The truth is I’m good either way you decide you have my support
Awesome post! 🤩
Thank you for sharing this with us 🙌🏾

I did the same with my 1984 Calypso for the same reason. I love it!

I wore mine on the original but then I changed it to forstner bullet, and i musf say it is goood.

Watch Gecko!
You nailed it.
It looks good.
Don’t outshine your boss. Career limiting. 😆

Watch Gecko!
Thanks!
The bracelet is the best thing about this watch, especially the older ones.
Meshing it works!
