Well done Sherrington. Looks fantastic!!!

Beautiful shots. The white Navi is nice. Quite different from the black and blue versions... more understated and "stealthy". And congrats for finally receiving it... that was quite an ordeal!!!

Unfortunately I'll be spending most of the weekend in the office... too much unfinished work. Right now I'm wearing the PO...and probably for the rest of the weekend too. Have a great weekend!

I always wanted a black PO to keep company to my orange... and this watch looks like a perfect excuse to get one. I'm usually not too crazy about the special edition (007) versions, but I wouldn't mind getting the standard black one with a rubber strap. After all... that's what Bond really wears.

Beautiful!!! The Bond Seamaster is a classic. Definitely one of my all-time favourite watches (rep and gen). Congrats mate... that's a keeper!

Nice shot as usual. I like how the lug details are visible in the pic. Definitely one of the nicest things on this watch. Plain simple Rolex Sub is a great watch to photograph. Looks like it inspires you as well (although you're not a Rolex fan).

We here in the old part of the globe don't spend "thanksgiving" (whatever American nonsense that is) but HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all my good American friends anyway!!!

I agree, Narikaa has some excellent models. I bought a TAG for my gf from Narikaa. The quality is very good and she likes the watch a lot: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=14263 Omega Constellation ladies is another excellent choice. Joshua has some nice ladies' Breitlings too. There are some nice Rolex ladies' reps, but you know how it is always with Rolex... so I'd go for TAG, Breitling or Omega.

Good Wednesday morning (at least for the EU members). Going to work with the good old GMT on my wrist:

Wanna know what's a joke? Listen to Britney's version of "Satisfaction". I'm quite liberal when it comes to music... I can tolerate almost anything... but that's just pure Chinese water torture.

All the dealers are selling the exact same version of this watch. (Link Chronograph blue with polished bezel). . Andrew will do nicely, he's a trusted good dealer. Here's Andrew's link to this specific watch: http://www.trustytime.com/index.php?main_p...products_id=473 Yeah, great dealer and nice guy.... but man... his pics suck the Big Green Donkey Dick of the Universe!!!

Sorry to hear that Neil.

Hey Puggy... congrats for the Navi. Finally!!! Looks fantastic.

Good review...thanks. But I'm not so sure about the "date issue" that members constantly talk about. I can't see much difference in the date mag and the cyclops. There could be small difference though... but hardly noticeable without zoomed pics. Here's two genuine pictures for reference: And just for the interest... this comparison shot shows that the date magnification is actually BIGGER on the replica GMT Master (rep on the right). They probably use different crystal though. PS: I mentioned the sharp bracelet edges in my review, but I definitely didn't have those issues with the SEL.

Looks like you have to change your motto: You have both quality AND quantity these days.

I was wondering if the non-chrono SMP would feel a bit boring after wearing the chrono version. Luckily this isn't the case. After a few weeks break from the wrist it feels and looks just as great as always:

Yeah... I've been thinking of opening my own soon. We need more Casino Royale threads... how about posting one to each subforum?

I think it wouldn't be any cheaper for the Chinese to produce their own high-beat 28.800 bph bullet proof and reliable automatic movements. I don't really care what they are as long as they work like a charm (all of mine run without ANY problems). Members have four-year old ETA watches which run flawlessly. And even if you hear about any problems with our ETAs it's usually badly installed caseback or rotor.

Lol...that's funny Alex. I wouldn't mind Bond wearing a Sub, either. I think the new Co-Axial Seamaster retails at $3K+ and sells for $2.3K. Not good news for the Omega fans. You can still buy the old (non-coaxial movement) Bond Seamaster for $1.5K though. I think I'll eventually grab a preowned genuine, it's definitely one of my favourite watches.

Looks pretty cool. I've been thinking about purchasing a black PO as well. Now that it has become a "hot topic" due to the new Bond movie.

Someone posted this link at TRC. Looks like Bond is wearing the good old SMP too:

PS: I just noticed for the first time that Perfect Clones version of this rep has different, less accurate date font:

The gen SMP chrono is very thick watch too... the rep looks accurate to me. Picture of a genuine:

If the gold wears off it usually comes off of the bracelet. And even if it wears off... Navitimer is perfect with a strap. I seriously doubt it'll come off the bezel (like I stated in the review). For me it's not going to be an issue, because a watch like this is a special occasion watch, not a daily beater.

Beauty!!! Good work Andrew!!!
