Let's not forget to mention. The only reason why Dalton didn't do a third film was because his contract expired. Due to something completely unrelated to him, a legal battle between the long time Bond film producer Albert R. Broccoli and the studio MGM/UA. Hell, even after that debacle ended they still wanted him to do 3 or 4 more films. However, Timothy Dalton declined the offer and step away from the role for good. I don't understand why so many people undervalue Timothy Dalton's time as James Bond.

@Hydrograd57

When he said that, I was like "Uh... WHAT!?!?" Dalton is extremely underrated in the role and he brought new life to the character and the films with his more mature take on Bond after Roger Moore's films were so campy which got old really fast

Great video. While I do own a genuine Omega Seamaster Black dial I had also bought a replica Omega Blue dial. Plan is to put a smaller ( ladies ) quartz movement into it, take out the hour markers and replace them with led lights that can be turned on when you turn the bezel. Also want to do something with the helium Valve but not sure what yet. Thought it would be a fun project after I saw a watch from MTM special OPS.

The one in the movie was actually an Omega Seamaster 300 Quartz as the Automatic didn't come out until the following year, it was then worn in The World Os Not Enough and Die Another Day.

Another Seamaster-Esq watch to look out for is the Casio MTP-VD01, its actually fooled a couple of people into thinking that its an actual Omega every time i've worn it

always loved the games music as well

Great video, and very well researched. While I'll never own a real James Bond watch, I do have a decent novelty one and an actual N64 promotional watch. Plus, it's nice to see how much armour I have on throughout the day.

@@goldenguns2659 Seiko was making incredible mechanical movements well before the quartz crisis. They even were the first manufacturer to sell an automatic chronograph (there's some controversy and backstory here) and were doing things in automatic chrono movements in the late 60s that Rolex didn't do in-house until the late 90's. Seiko was also founded before Rolex. Omega was using modified ETA automatic movements in these Seamasters until just a couple years ago. Same with Tudor in many models. Seiko has been all in-house for so long I can't even figure it out. Lot's of misconceptions out there about Seiko based on nothing other than marketing by Swiss watch manufacturers. My Seikos run forever, accurately, are beaten like hell and never need a service. I cannot say the same about my Seamaster, though I adore it. I have a 5 year old Oris which I have babied that needs a service. I prefer Swiss personally for irrational reasons, but I still love a Seiko and see them as just as good or better than most of the big Swiss brands. And they can achieve this at a tiny fraction of the cost

Omega does make titanium Seamaster but the 2541.80 goldeneye model is 316L stainless steel

Sure does bring back memories.. I should dust off the old n64 soon

It's hillarious how even nerdy Bond fans MISS the fact that their hero (Brosnan or Craig) would nevr be caught dead "in the films" wering a "theme watch" (with Bond markings of any kind e.g. "007" on the back o f the case of hte No time To Die watch...or more laughable the cheesy mechanical animation on the "Brosnan watch" :) OR the odd fuax pas in the BOnd films where they have Bond wearing a SPortS watch (diving during FORMAL occasions and not soemthing like a Cartier Tank a "Dressy watch".... Companiees and certain reviewer s are tying to sell us on the idea that "...we CAN wear a DIVE watch" at a formal dinner. NO we SHOULD NOt. Be like wearing an ADDIDAS skin tight exercise pants to a wedding...heh...or running shoes...the things professionals manage to miss...UNREAL..
