The postman finally turns up, Roberto rips open the package convinced it's the new 007 First Light game... and it's a sample of curtain track. From there it only gets better.

This is a totally candid, unfiltered weekend catch-up between Roberto and his Tailoring Talk Magazine co-host Jon Evans, recorded in one take, warts and all. Jon's been playing IO Interactive's new James Bond game 007 First Light for three days. Roberto's still waiting for his copy. So instead they get stuck into the thing that's actually turned Roberto's head: the watch.

Omega has released the first-ever James Bond chronograph, the Seamaster Diver 300M "007 First Light", a real watch you can buy for just shy of £8,000, designed from the ground up for the game. In this bonus episode the two of them get into:

• Why a Bond watch is coming from a video game and not a film
• How the watch works as an actual gadget inside the game, and the Q Branch scene where you choose your own
• Whether it's a cynical cash grab or a genuinely clever bit of Omega marketing
• The big problem: it's NOT a limited edition, unlike Roberto's Casino Royale (1 of 10,007) and the SPECTRE (1 of 7,007)
• Whether it'll still become a collector's piece, and Jon's bold claim that the game itself belongs in the Bond canon alongside the films
• Roberto's "biggish birthday" and the portrait in the attic

Roberto's full written review and the companion YouTube video will go deeper on the specs, the heritage, and whether it's a future classic. Subscribe here and on YouTube so you don't miss it!
