I like how you say 'until now' . Daniel Craig is the new Bond, no doubt about it. He owns the role... i want a black dial Planet Ocean with a rubbber strap...

Well that's that settled then.

If I remember it right... he says "Oh meg ah"

Excellent film, liked the bit where Vesper Lynd asked Bond if he was wearing a Rolex... He replied 'No, it's an Omega'

More than likely, yes! If Bond had worn a purple and yellow striped NATO strap with his Rolex I'd more than likely want one of those too... I admit I'm a sheep when it comes down to following trends, I like the stripey NATO strap, I like it even more because of the Bond connection..

I couldn't agree with you less morgan, I think the sub looks great with the NATO strap - the Bond connection makes it even cooler imho. Each to their own I suppose...

I've got a 'noobmariner' on the way and want to pick up a NATO strap, what size do I need to get? 18mm?, 20mm?

I like it!

I should have my 196 back from Finepics in a week or so... Full dial and hands re-lumed... I'll post pics as soon as I can.

All I can say is "Wow!" That's a seriously cool 196 you've got there David! Absolutely gorgeous! Excellent work sir!

You nailed it there If you don't have a tape measure wrap a strip of paper around your wrist, mark it, then measure up to the mark.

I just bought a Balenciaga bag for my wife from Joshua. Paid for it 5 days ago and according to the parcelforce tracking info it's arrived at my local depot ready for delivery! I know nothing about womens bags but the wife was very happy with the ones on offer on Josh's website... http://perfect-clones.com/balenciaga-bal003-p-270.html

Oooh, that's nice. Thanks for link phoband.

I have a spare link, if anyone wants it feel free to drop me a PM.

I get it now, thanks for clearing that up. A new stem it is...

Just looking a rolli's posts above and he's needed a new stem for all his watches so as to fit these crowns. Will I need a new stem for my 7753?

Cool. Thanks for the update!

Have the s/s crowns been shipped yet Palp?

Same goes for me too... EDIT: Just received PM from Tommy and have paid up in full.

I'm soo in love with the Planet Ocean Chrono, it hurts! I'm holding out for a 7753 version though... It might be a long wait but I'm going to hold out. I must, resist.

PM sent. Thanks a million for the update (and the excellent work!). Nice one Palp & PAMela!

I'm only poor as regards monetary value. I'm rich beyond my wildest dreams as regards my wife and my beautiful children.

I'm preparing a photo shoot as we speak with my Speedmaster Broad Arrow and a carving knife I have in the kitchen, should look seriously cool.

What's with the pictures of guns? I don't get it? Is it big and clever? We don't have guns here in the UK so maybe I'm missing out on something? We have knives, would that be cool if I posted pictures of watches draped over some big knives? Or Knuckledusters?

OK, here we go... I drive a tatty old Vauxhall Astra, earn £16,000 a year. I have a few friends who earn a shedload more than I do and some of them have gen Rolexes, one of them owns a diamond importing company and has a big fat AP Royal Oak. Hell my little brother earns more than I do and has a nice gen Tag Steve McQueen Monaco... Everyone I know knows I can't afford a gen Pam 196 (7753 BTW ) but they still look at it in awe and want to hold it and caress it everytime they see me out wearing it. I know it's a rep, they know it's a rep but they still love it. As do I.
