This is from a week ago on location for the new JB flick (sorry, been a bit distracted with other things). Yup - that looks like a Planet Ocean on a NATO. Seems Spectre is going retro in many ways!

You are kidding, aren't you? I can't see any resemblance beyond them both having a winder on the right,..... and hands perhaps. If anything resembles the AT then it is the smooth bezelled Rolex Datejust, and frankly I do not think it is nearly as elegant as the Omega. If anyone is listening - get these made now - blue tuxedo face, solid caseback, correct clasp, and 2813 movement. Get the lume right and bugger the 'Asian ETA' incorrect anyway movement.

Yes. Incidentally, this is a screenshot of Daniel Craig from the official documentary Everything or Nothing which was released to co-incide with the 50th anniversary of the first cinematic Bond release....

Both are beautiful and have graced my collection. Still have the blue one. And I agree with the OP.

It's bloody brilliant! Transcends all expectations and has a real twist in the tail. I'd love to give it a full review but it would be hard to without spoiling it. Anyhoo - new PO gets a lot of screen time in the pre-title sequence, and Naomi Harris is clearly sporting a gents AT. Craig switches to the AT for the remainder of the movie, and my wife was thrilled to see Ms Harris wearing a Quadrella like her own in a later scene.

LOL @ "10 years in the making". I know this is taking the thread a little OT, but I just dip in and out of this scene that I was so deeply involved in 6-8 years ago, and it amazes me how the hyperbole from the so-called scam dealers that we criticised so much at the time has spread and evolved and is no longer a differentiator of 'trusty' dealers. To think my fist proper rep was a 'closed factory' blue Seamaster 'Brosnan Bond' with genuine ETA and I only paid £75 for it (OK, so the exchange rate at the time ran at over $2/£1). Still got it too... PS. Also got my tickets for Skyfall in 3 hours. Think I'll give the UPO an outing.....

Keep bugging him then TBH I don't give a stuff (or see the point) of making the 2824/Selita look like the 8500. In terms of accuracy it may as well have a DG2813. In fact , if it means they get it out quicker then they should bloody well put a 2813 in it..... . 'ETA clone' is just a price markup issue these days - good for profit for the sellers but meaningless to us buyers now. I've kept my best genuine ETA movement reps to remind me of a time when it mattered......

That looks awful. Sorry. The '00'7 marker looks like it dropped off the face from somewhere else and landed there. The pattern on the dial doesn't know what it wants to be either - kind of trying to be tuxedo but going the wrong way. Just another attempt to differentiate from other Bond Specials in order to keep dipping from the obsessive fans with small brains and deep pockets. Irrelevant anyway - I'm only interested in 'on screen' watches, so hurry up and get that AT out, guys....

Breacelet is ok but clasp is wrong. Bezel is too wide (looks like it came off the green Milgauss). I was thinking more the dial which is OK if the wrong colour. Actually - second thoughts. Hour markers are rubbish.

Seems just about all the ingredients are already available.... Found this on silix

Both the blue chronos (original and 2008 update) look pretty good. If these haven't changed from the models reviewed elsewhere in this forum then either is a good bet. IIRC both use screws in the bracelets but that is about the only (minor) issue other than the usual incorrect date font of the A7750 which is a relatively easy fix. PS. Looking through Angus's site - just how many PO reps are there now!!!!?!

Oh dear.. Time to move on folks. Have you seen Ursula these days?! My own personal Bond girl favourite... Then.. Now... More here.
