: But that is not a special or limited edition --
: it is just the regular version of that model
: as made for the past 6 years. It was
: introduced as a regular model with that
: inscription in 1998 and is still made
: exactly the same today.

And it is an excellent watch!

I've had mine now since Christmas and it gains less than a second per day. It is very readable, especially in little light, as the luminova enhances contrast enormously.

It was the older version with the single-button Bond bracelet, but my very courteous dealer in Frankfurt/Germany exchanged that one with the Speedy bracelet with the diver's extension from a standard Seamaster.

And I keep the red hand showing GMT but turn the bezel to local time so that I can easily turn it back to GMT when I need it, for example to listen to the BBC World Service, who schedule in GMT.
