While we're talking about 007's....
So after a visit to a local watch shop to buy my gf's dad a birthday present I'm in a quandary about the Omega I'm looking at...
The model pictured below is what I've had my eye on but I didn't like to polished inner links on the bracelet and wanted a brushed look like the outer links. Today in the shop I asked to try one on and found myself wearing one with a fully brushed strap, a slightly different bezel and a lollypop second hand rather than the one pictured.
Standard left - Spectre right.
I asked the assistant what the deal was and she says it's the new 007 watch from the Spectre movie. Slightly confused I questioned her as I thought the Aqua Terra 150 was the limited edition 007 watch but it turns out there are two. This one is much more subtle than the AT 150 as the only references to 007 are on the clasp and on the back of the watch where the limited edition number is..
So the 007 watch is around £700 more than the standard version but it's go the tweaks I like over the standard one.
My questions are..
1. Are 007 watches better investments over a standard watch?
2. Are 007 watches gimmicks. I'm not sure if it cheapens the Omega experience so would like others views on this.
3. The one I looked at was number 90 out of 7007. Do lower numbers retain value better?
Probably all naff questions but I know someone will give me their opinion
