Transcript
Good afternoon, sir. It's me. Love to buy my first Omega watch. Oh, wonderful. Was there a particular model that you are after? Love to go for the Seamaster. Alright. Diver? Mhmm. 300 meters. Sure. Right. So James Bond. Double no seven. Big fan? Big fan. Oh, you're in the right place. Here I have some Kate's quarters there. Of worse. You can. So here I have two iconic pieces from our James Bond collection. One of which is my personal favorite Seamaster of Seamasters. It's been always my dream to to own one. From my yes, we have the titanium, grade two titanium, no time to die Seamaster. Rank no tier right we have the sixtieth anniversary Tier 300. This is a rank of the Ministry of Defense. When your service was completed, you'd have to hand back the worse. Am I six? Yeah. Kind of. It is a good sign. I have a question for you. Worse. What was the watch that got you into watches? I'm sorry. No we are fighting for this property. We have a lawyer that's taking care of the case. I was younger. Yeah. I was younger. I was younger.
