Hi Jamie

It's great! The marking on the dial is really cool, and the watch cover at the back carries a really nice 40th anniversary logo where the sea monster usually is! There's a 007 etched just below the 'professional' on the clasp too, so I'll have to be DOUBLY careful to avoid scratching this one!!! I do think they may have overdone it a bit by ghosting the 007 logo on the back of the dial (where the blue wavy lines usually are) - but just like the lines, it's not very intrusive.

I paid £1300 exactly from a jewellers here, but that was only after the first four I visited had sold their only one THAT DAY!! Four different jewellers sold the only 007 model they had that day!! The last one had taken a £50 deposit three months earlier on the one they had, but me waving £1300 under their nose twisted their arm to let me have it :)

Considering it's not really at all very limited (10007), I was surprised how difficult it was to get my hands on one.. Mind you - the presentation box is great too!

Best of luck

Phil
