I never understood the Quantum of Solace hate. It’s my second favorite after Casino Royale. The villain wasn’t as extravagant as most of the films, but I actually enjoyed a villain that was more realistic. It’s also the only time I can recall a bond film directly continuing from the previous one. It compliments Casino Royale so well. To me those two films set up the character and shows us why he is the way he is in all the previous films.

Quantum still has one of the best intros in my opinion, particularly the first 10 seconds, moving between the shots of the sea and the Aston Martin. Congrats on your purchase!

It is truly special that you were able to get the Planet Ocean fromone of your viewers and someone who wanted his watch in good hands. Well done by both of you! The black 42mm Planet Ocean was my second watch purchase that year after I picked up the SMP 300 a few months earlier. I didn't really consider the 45.5mm version because found it too large for a three hand watch. However a 45.5mm PO found its way onto my wrist one year later, in the form of a chronograph for which this huge size is much more appropriate in my opinion. That was the moment when I thought that three Omega divers were one too many and I handed the 42mm PO to my father. He is in his 80s now and the Planet Ocean always looked really good on him. But he became increasingly uncomfortable with heavy watches and wore it less over the past few months. Just three days ago he handed it back to me (in exchange for a Seiko 5 GMT which I almost never wore) because he knows I'm a watch addict and he wanted the PO to be worn. Although my father is still alive and hopefully will be for the years to come this Planet Ocean is now my heritage piece. And it is on my wrist as I write this comment.

Glad you were able to find this watch! So cool it came from someone who was a fan.

Hi David, I found your channel years ago and became an instant fan. Your secret bond moments are a staple of our lifestyle and this watch (10/10 on your wrist) is yet another milestone for the bond community to celebrate.

Yes...The Bond community is pure gold. I sincerely hope there are genuine plans in the works to have an actual gathering of the community for all Bond fans in London that will be an event for everyone to attend & enjoy for this October's 60th celebration.

It’s always been an underrated film. It’s an incredible epilogue to Casino Royale, and I’ve loved it since day one.

Just picked up my 1st Omega Seamaster 300 Ref. 166.024 . Love this story about your journey finding the Quantum of Solace Omega watch!

I have an obsession with x2 things. James Bond, and Italy, namely Siena where the opening fight scene was. This movie has it all for me! I really enjoyed your enthusiasm and how you talked about looking down at the watch repeatedly and realizing that you finally have something you've wanted for such a long time! I know that feeling, I feel like a crazy person but I think it's truly appreciating the product! Cheers!

Absolutely. I feel like if we would magically turn Craig's Bond into a watch, he would be a Planet Ocean. The transition from Seamaster 300 to Planet Ocean is very analogous to the transition from Brosnan to Craig. The latter is bulkier, more robust, more pragmatic, unapologetically brutal at times.

Great choice, David. When I saw QoS at the theatre, I immediately wanted this watch. In 2015, it ended up being my first watch which I bought myself for graduation. It will never leave my collection, and the 42mm case size is absolute perfection for the Planet Ocean.

A very nice timepiece. As a huge Omega fan with a few Omegas in my collection, I can fully understand the satisfaction, love these type of videos, David. Apropos servicing an Omega: will never forget how Volker Müller of the Omega Boutique in Hamburg, Germany, recommended to me not to service my Seamaster. He said it was a rare model and that, in case of servicing, we would risk to loose he water resistancy. This meant he turned down about 800+ Euro from me. What a great person and very good service. Learned that he owns a Mark II, also very rare. This is why I take Omega seriously and would really recommend them anytime. Have fun with your QoS Omega, David! 👍🏻✌🏻🤠😉

My favourite bond has to be Rodger Moore as these were the films we watched when I was still at school in the 70's and early 80's. Great collection.

The QOS Seamaster was the first Omega I bought (I have since bought a Speedmaster). I bought a 2008 model pre-owned in around 2011. I totally get how you fell in love with it. As a huge Bond fan I knew I wanted a Seamaster, but that was the model that checked all of the boxes for me. Black face, stainless steel case and bracelet and... it looks like the Omicron Spymaster from the show Archer. That sold it for me :-)

The only collection I have is modest watch collection and I always purchased one with the saying "this is the last one!" I've said about 11 times... So far... Nice watch David!

It's a wonderfully slippery slope!

Quantum (the movie not the evil organization) inspired me to get a Planet Ocean too. However, 42mm is just too big for me, so I went with the current smaller PO, which is 39.5mm and can say that it's absolutely wonderful. A bit more shiny than your classic Planet Ocean, but the sizing is incredible for me, and I absolutely love the micro-adjustment they've added to the clasp. Adds so much comfort, which is needed as even the smaller size is a hefty watch! I'm starting to look at my 5513 Submariner collecting dust now, and thinking the formerly unthinkable... maybe sell that and keep the Planet Ocean.

Great videos. Id love to see a video that explains the differences between the Planet Ocean models in Skyfall, QofS, and Casino. Maybe Lorenzo has done this already?

I was able to get Omega to make it look like new...and Lorenzo helped me track down the nato with the Omega branding...now it looks like it came out of the box and is my go to Bond accessory of the 4 watches that I own.

I assume he wasn't wearing this watch in the final scene of Casino Royale.

I love the idea of Bond taking a break and choosing a different watch or changing straps or bracelets.

You're not wrong on Quantum Of Solace, it's a good "Bond on a normal mission" story, which just hasn't happened in the last 30 years. He doesn't *have* to go rogue for once, and the fate of the world isn't at risk, at least not in the sense of instant annihilation of everyone but the Bad-guy and his homies. It's made *better* by treating it as Casino Royale part 2, but on it's own it's a good fun movie.

I think QoS is a very good film. I don't understand why people in the community seem to hate it.

This is probably too old now, but what ever happened to your QoS watch you had on display years ago? I realize collectors sometimes cannibalize some of the collection to finance new acquisitions. Early videos of TBE showed it in the QoS display. Thanks for your videos. I now have two Planet Oceans, the one from Casino Royale and the titanium version of the one from Skyfall, but it is larger than the steel version they released to the public. I love them both.

Whatever one may think of the film it's a lovely watch.
