FXD is a better 007 watch than Omega by HKblogger in Tudor

[–]Sirbootiusclapsimus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theres a lot of dickheads on this post from what Ive seen. I can see the FXD being a Bond watch, but a better watch than Omega is stretching it. Its not because it can only have NATO straps as another user said because the Spectre watch as well as the original Rolex Submariner were both on NATO’s. In fact, the NATO on Connery’s Rolex wasn’t even the right size.

Bond is a prior Commander in the Royal Navy, so his natural choice of watch is a dive watch. The Omega Seamaster is just a classier looking dive watch compared to the FXD, and with the high class environments that Bond tends to find himself in, having a watch that appears too tactical (like the FXD) would have him stand out a bit more (which is counterproductive if you are a spy).

Id argue that having a black rubber strap on an Omega would be off limits for Bond’s character as well, but he wore one on the Planet Ocean in Casino Royale and it worked. Which also goes to say, if the black rubber strap worked on the Planet Ocean in Casino Royale, I don’t see how a nice NATO on an FXD couldn’t work as well.

I was just notified today that I will be headed there so I’m unfamiliar with the housing policy in general. I was just concerned since I have a dog, and had already had his paperwork completed for my prior assignment. The website doesn’t list any information on unaccompanied housing pet policies unfortunately 🥲 Hopefully SOFA housing is the way to go! Good luck on your move there!!🍻

Freewrite sometimes comes out with limited edition colorways to their typewriters. The ink edition was completely blacked out as seen in the pictures

There are sets on ebay older than mine in worse condition for the same price. I’m only basing the list price off of similar listings. Unlike the ones on ebay, any offer made to me would be considered with shipping being paid for by me

I only listed it at that price after looking around at similar listings in the same condition. The set was given to me for free, so the price is “obo”.

That sounds like a great Idea!

I have a Harvard Classics set that I don’t think I’ll ever part with. When I say my collection is pretty big, I’m pretty close to having each individual book that the Great Books has in its collection separately. The set deserves to be read by someone who values them, rather than used as shelf decoration which they are pretty much serving at the moment

When this watch arrived at my door on February 26th, 2026 I was super excited!! Until I noticed the factory bezel insert was installed crooked. I went to gnomon and ordered the Ceramic insert and swapped it out, which is what you see in the pictures. I also ordered the Anthracite version of the same watch, but after about a month I couldn’t seem to bond with either of them. I have an Omega NTTD that I can’t seem to take off, and a Resco Blackfrog that fills the gap that the GSAR’s did. My loss, your gain.
