"Kina Lillet....which is not Vermouth."..."6 of them."
Thats really cool mate and thanks for sharing. I really want 2:40 and ooo yes I have that 5:29. I recomend getting the EMPIRE magazines on Bond and the 'ACTION MAN 007 dolls' if you ever get the chance. all the best
This was wonderful. I want everything David has and more :) Thanks for showing us this and may his collection grow
I imagine Bond saying "Been there, done that, got the shirt".
Makes you confident, that’s what it’s all about. I really struggle with sizes. I would say I am a medium, but some mediums fit way too small, some way too big. Like you, when I find something I like that fits well I always want all the colours
Nice video boss.
Love them but I am between sizes unfortunately. I like them so much that I am even tempted to get them nevertheless!!
What the hell happened to the sound quality at the start Luke. Good looking Polo shirt to wear and looks good on you. If he is the next Bond then perhaps he will bring over some brands to the franchise and Lacoste will be a “Bond Brand”.
Freaking AC!!!!!
Nice Top 💯 was watching Michael Fassbender in a film the other day I think he would have been a great Bond bit to old now however. What's your thoughts?
Its a nice top. I saw it when you did the video with David and when i watched the gentlemen, i paid attention to it
Enoksen watches...they do a JB dive watch (007 connection)...based in Belfast....ask for Hans...a really nice guy.
I thought they discontinued the Skyfall?
We haven't finished the drinks of Bond yet
If it was a little larger I would have bought one long ago
nice !
I love the idea of this series and plan to watch each one with great interest. I also really enjoyed the scoring system and could see the challenge with being fair but authentic in grading the different attributes. WELL DONE!
Luke… Why do you do this to me? Now I have spend more money 🤣
As a fellow watch collector I'm a bit ambivalent about micro brands. I have several and some are definitely better than others. I have a Stratton, (I'll say their name because I think they're fantastic!) that I would definitely buy from again. For a micro brand I was blown away by the high quality at their price point. I have another that will be nameless, not because the watch was bad, indeed I enjoyed it for years but there were a few minor issues that came about and now the company is out of business, I think. They no longer have a website, so I can't go back to them with repairs or any issues. If a Micro brand fails, you no longer have a valid warranty or place to go to for any issues that may arise. It's a hit or miss and you're taking a bit of a risk.
Great video! I enjoy wearing my AJ watch as well. It's a great watch with a great story.
Excellent presentation. I had never heard of the brand before. Will all the micro brands have an “element of James Bond” in the theme ? If so and heys it’s Bond’s Appartment” after all - shouldn’t the series be called Micro Bond Brands …
Thanks for watching! No, not all the brands will tie in with Bond!
Would love to be featured with my Lorier Neptune IV! Beautiful homage to the Sub in Goldfinger, and akin to the modern 300 Heritage from Omega. 🫶🏻
Off topic.. Is that star wars lego on your Top Shelf behind you?
Sure is. The Invisible Hand.
@@BondsApartment quality 💯👍
Historically the Palladium boot never was meant to be waterproof, they were meant to breathe and release water out the boot fast. They were meant for the Indochina war so waterproofing never was an option.
diy WATCH DRAWER! sTEP ONE GO ON aMAZON AND BUY ONE!
They envisaged bond only wearing a omega .... Is that before or after a huge bag of money traded hands
I have the Rolex Explorer because it's the watch always worn by Ian Fleming as he wrote the Bond books.... And why he wrote that James Bond wore a Rolex. As others have mentioned he now wears Omega because they paid to do so.
Yes that's correct
It’s shown when he is in the digger on the train
That's correct
I don’t understand the coolness of wearing a watch that’s on an actor paid to wear it. James Bond isn’t real.
Wait...he's not?!?! Must delete my channel!
Late to the game....just bought it for $126 shipped with discount code BONDLIFE20
You lucky devil!! 💯🔥Now I most def need one lol..🤙
How you gonna do a review of Obi Wan sunglasses review and not start with "Hello there" :')
Great review though! Was looking at the Mace Windu ones (purple is boss) but the lightsabers on the arms pulled me over, shame there isn't a bit of blue on them though. :(
Oddly I have used toothpaste with the same results
toothpaste could be to coarse of a grit for polished surface.
Can you share what your wrist size is? Looking at this one but it’s thick one
I’m sorry but the factory finish on the clasp originally is not polished, but brushed… for sure scotch pad method is best for that finish.. anyway great video! Keep em coming!
Upvoting because I like you bro but I cannot agree with your premise. The Rolex submariner was the original and the best - just like Sean Connery himself. I do have a soft-spot for Pierce Brosnan and his watch was cool - but it was quartz so I don't think its as cool as the Rolex sub. But mainly what kills the Omega for me is its association with Daniel Craig's Bond. After NTTD I would like to disassociate myself from all aspects of Daniel Craig's portrayal of Bond as much as possible - and lean into the icons of the Classic-era of Connery|Moore|Dalton|Brosnan more. So - for me at least - I actually consider Seiko to be more "Bondian" than Omega. That's just me - but yes I hate Daniel Craig's Bond that much that I just don't want to wear or own anything associated to it. Daniel Craig's Bond wasn't Bond in my eyes - it was some alternate universe Red Grant pretending to be Bond.
Good vid, man. I am not that brave, tho to put anything on my timepieces. Haha
Good review. It certainly brings up the stainless steel bands to showroom quality. Be careful to not put it in your hair. A lot of hair touches in this episode Luke !
lol thanks for the tip!!!
How sad it'll be when we see a 🌈Omega strap/face
Hi, I’m 180 cm (around 5’11 if I’m not wrong) and weight like 80 kg. I haven’t found a brand that sells leather jackets with more of a normal/loose fit. Do you think a size L of this would fit normal and not like slim fit?
I have an Omega Seamaster that I was given to me by beautiful wife back in the late 1990’s. It’s a fantastic watch let down by their absolutely incompetent service division.
Love the look of the pants. Trying to get that same size 34. Hoping for a restock by Royale.
Hi, I need to correct you. Planet Ocean in Casino Royale was on a rubber strap, not a leather strap.
Sorry I misspoke.
Former Omega CEO JC Biver explained how he made Omega Bond’s watch in IONs 007 movies. “They asked for $50,000, I gave them $2Million”. There you have it gents.
Exactly 👍
😮
That was after Lindy Hemming had already picked Omega. It was an organic decision before any money was involved.
@@menswearmusings 🤭So, product placement in a billion dollar movie franchise is now organic. 🤣 Believe whatever you want buddy.
@@morganthau4448 if you think she’s a liar so be it but she has explicitly said there was no money involved whatsoever when she made that decision. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Obviously afterwards there became a huge amount of money involved to keep it that way.
Fantastic job as usual! If never own another Bond watch, I have the best…the 2531.80! Keep up the great work!
It's a hot take Luke, but one that I generally agree with. I could have bought any watch, but to scratch the Bond itch (a little itch, down there), I had to go with the classic SMP 300 2531.80. Either the Quantum Planet Ocean, or the Skyfall PO will be next, but the SMP 300 was my grail, and now that I have it, it's made it quite hard to want to buy something else. Love the video! Was looking forward to it after seeing the teaser on Insta!
Aaa love it! ❤ yes all the way
Bond did wear a vintage omega chronograph towards the end of Spectre that was not a seamaster. Hard to see but it was there.
Yes a friend of mine has it. @omegabondwatches
There is no one quintessential Bond watch. The shear number of brands (Rolex, Gruen, Breitling, Tissot, Seiko, Pulsar, TAG Heuer, and Omega) featured in the movies back this up. What there is, is Fleming’s personal watch choice and book watches, Rolex, Bond watch. The Connery era, non gadget Bond watches. The Roger Moore, gadget era, Bond watches. The transitional actor era Bond watches. Finally, the paid for, product placement era, Omega Bond watches. There are two brands most associated with Bond and that is Rolex and Omega. The Submariner and Seamaster will forever be linked with Bond.
When it comes to fine imitation watches, nkuwan delivers. I've bought from them several times, and I've never been let down.
My dady bought one #nkuwan and he loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when he went out with it.
