Only knock on that is the thiccness.

Not an issue. It wears much thinner than I anticipated. Speedmasters are thicker.

Dear Omega:
Ok....we get it. You’re the official timepiece for the James Bond franchise. Now please stop this none sense. The inscription on the back is as equally cheesy.

The No Time to Die titanium watch is actually really nice.

The things is, I think these actually sell really well. I've heard all the Bond editions are super popular with Omega's Asian market in particular. Not sure why, but...

no doubt it’s a fine time piece. Let it stand on its own without the cheesy branding. This is like those transformers stickers the factory puts on yellow Camaros.

The NTTD watch has all of the Bond branding on the back which makes it much nicer than a lot of the other Bond watches with the cheesy branding all over the face. That's also why the Spectre watch was so popular. Omega produced like 7007 units and the Spectre limited edition still sells at a premium.

I guess I just don’t understand it.

Lots of patek philippe here!

I do rather like the look of the new Bond watch but I don't $52k like it. Curious that they switched it to platinum-gold

Indeed it is! Thank you, sir. The case back is just as gorgeous as the frontside.

I suspect Omega likes making gobs of money on these more than they care what watch nerds think.
