The TD's will have the ceramic Seamaster with a wave dial (but not a 2254) that's a good franken base.

I may have a blue fantasy 2254 that you could use as a base if you're interested. I'll have to dig it out. You'd need a dial and insert though to make it look something like. It would have the hev in the wrong position though, but at least you'd have the case and sword hands! PM me if interested. The dial - try cousins uk.

A friend used to buy and sell these about 15 years ago when they were cheap. I said at the time get a good one and throw it into storage as they'll be a future classic. Did he listen, errrr no. I hope it goes as good as it looks.

Wait a few days and if the reply is unsatisfactory then contact a mod via pm with the details.

Yes welcome Ben1212. There are a few watchsmiths in the EU that can assist with yours, have you any idea of the value of your watch - it maybe cheaper to drop in a new movement or even buy a new watch if yours is a cheapy.

The majority of peoples worldwide are honest hard working citizens. It is the few from whatever religion that spoil it for, and give a bad name to, the masses. Sometimes you need to break a few eggs to make an omelet. Just saying.

For me: get rid of their families. Anyone proven to be a terrorist will have their families (insert punishment here). It is the responsibility of their friends, family's and associates to stop these attacks. If they, for one minute, believed that their loved ones would suffer they'd think twice before committing such atrocities. Vote Kernow on the 8th June

He has been asked to not bump old threads. If it continues please let a mod know. @ilikewatchestoo - yes?

Wow, glad you're alright mate.

Just read this thread. Now watching the TV. Shocking. The three perpetrators have been shot dead - if it were me their families and associates would be next. Disgusting people.

@deandavis My PO insert came with the bezel that I bought for parts. I don't know which factory it's from but it does look rather good. Regarding the Silix one posted above, the dial is wrong - this looks to be applied rather than painted. Also the case with have the hev in the wrong position.

I've not seen it so can't really comment, but don't forget the hands too! Sword hands do look good. Here are some of mine. Gen 2254. A rep closed factory built by SSTEEL using a gen 2230 dial (relumed in white) and a PO bezel and insert. Finally, the Bond 50th Anniversary.

The new ceramic cases are a little thicker if I remember correctly. A closed factory case is what you really want. However, once on the wrist a ceramic case is very good indeed (I have a bond 50th anniversary).

I have the gen of this and it's lovely. I also had a rep with a closed factory case too, which has been sold back to the previous owner. @deandavis like @Sogeha said, it maybe best to franken one yourself (or have it done by someone else). If you can find a blue Bond rep then you are off to a good start. There are lots of people building Seamaster reps, including the 2254, from the newer ceramic Seamasters because the HEV is in a better, more gen like, position. Parts such as inserts, hands and sometimes dials can be found on eBay or if needed at Cousins. @SSTEEL here maybe able to help with the build - he's built several of mine for me with great results. Good luck.

Indeed, not all religions are equal. However what is currently happening is due to extremists, not the general masses. I am not religious is any way, I actually have a deep seated distrust of all religions. I don't need someone telling how to live my life righteously - my parents instilled a sense of right and wrong in me. If I ever decided to act a certain way it would be because I'd thought it through and not because of some higher order calling me.

Ah, Casino Royal. I only ever saw a few minutes of it and wasn't too impressed so switched channel.

Indeed. And was more of a gentleman/playboy spy compared to any other Bond actor.

A shame, but 89 isn't a bad age and I trust he had a good innings. His Bond was good, but a little too camp at times, for me Connery or Craig for the best Bond. I did enjoy some of his other film though, such as The Wild Geese.

RIP Sir Roger, he made some fantastic films - and not just Bond. Leave the two threads as he was more than Bond.

A despicable act at a venue filled with teenagers. The news reports are pointing to a lone suicide bomber. No mention of religion yet so please keep Muslims and Islam out of this until we know different. No matter what the reasoning the individual was a sick person.

The looks great and also makes the V1 vs V2 debates seem kind of pointless if the V2 looks this good.

I don't see TC being a brand name, so anyone can assemble a TC build. What's Thomas going to do - take you to court? Leave the vendetta next door and play nicely and you're welcome to stay guys - you know who you are.
