wat44 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Posted April 9, 2012 It's a great change. I prefer the traditional sub, but ATs are great. They should change to an English brand eg Bremont
Logan Posted April 9, 2012 Report Posted April 9, 2012 I'm really not seeing the mid size idea unless he's wearing a suit for the whole movie.
Tom Hawkes Posted April 9, 2012 Report Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) I'm really not seeing the mid size idea unless he's wearing a suit for the whole movie. I'm really not seeing why someone who spends most of his time in tailored clothes as an undercover special agent, moving around in high society places, would want to run around with a 46 mm clock strapped on his wrist like he just came back from the jersey shore.

cougar1 Posted April 10, 2012 Report Posted April 10, 2012 I'm really not seeing the mid size idea unless he's wearing a suit for the whole movie. It's not really 'midsize' though Logan, you know that, even though it's called that these days! It's 38.5 almost all dial and 13mm-ish thick, it's quite a good size in the flesh, comparable size to the Explorer I 39mm and chunkier aswell. It's a good classic size, rather than midsize. Even the 41.5mm AT are massive looking, much bigger looking face than the 42mm PO due to all dial!
cougar1 Posted April 10, 2012 Report Posted April 10, 2012 Old AT @ 39mm, it's a bigger fcuker than the mm suggest!
Logan Posted April 10, 2012 Report Posted April 10, 2012 Actually that picture has me a little more convinced..
om3ga_guy Posted April 10, 2012 Report Posted April 10, 2012 Man you guys are all putting me in the mood to get an AT. Where should I get one?!?!?! lol
r11co Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) Hey, see what I started! Current 38ish mm a21j AT Fix the hands, put a blue face, black datewheel and SS band on that and I'm in. Edited April 10, 2012 by r11co
gran Posted April 10, 2012 Report Posted April 10, 2012 This is the watch Bond should be wearing...the AT XXL 1
r11co Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) This is the watch Bond should be wearing...the AT XXL Sorry G. We go back a long way but I'm gonna have to completely disagree with you on that one for reasons already stated... I'm really not seeing why someone who spends most of his time in tailored clothes as an undercover special agent, moving around in high society places, would want to run around with a 46 mm....or for that matter a 49mm...clock strapped on his wrist like he just came back from the jersey shore.

gran Posted April 10, 2012 Report Posted April 10, 2012 Sorry G. We go back a long way but I'm gonna have to completely disagree with you on that one for reasons already stated... OK
r11co Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Posted April 10, 2012 They reshot and relaunched that image... 1
gran Posted April 11, 2012 Report Posted April 11, 2012 They reshot and relaunched that image... The larger picture is better, I agree
Jkay Posted April 11, 2012 Report Posted April 11, 2012 Wow everything about that first image is shit compared to the second image, from the background to the shave to the haircut to the pose to the suit ... everything.
r11co Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Posted April 11, 2012 Wow everything about that first image is [censored] compared to the second image, from the background to the shave to the haircut to the pose to the suit ... everything. ....and the watch. What were they thinking combining a tux with a rubber strap...?!
r11co Posted April 15, 2012 Author Report Posted April 15, 2012 Seems just about all the ingredients are already available.... Found this on silix
Tom Hawkes Posted April 15, 2012 Report Posted April 15, 2012 (edited) Everything is completely off. They used the first generation AT rep case and bracelett. And even for that generation everything is off. Also hands are too long for the current generation. And I haven't even checked the other pictures on Sillix' page.. Edited April 15, 2012 by Tom Hawkes 1
r11co Posted April 15, 2012 Author Report Posted April 15, 2012 (edited) 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. Edited April 15, 2012 by r11co
Tom Hawkes Posted April 15, 2012 Report Posted April 15, 2012 (edited) Mate, compare the bracelett of the first gen AT and the current AT. This is the bracelett from the first gen AT, not just the wrong clasp. It's completely different, other than both are made of steel. All they did was take a bad rep of the first gen AT and put a teak-dial in it. Edited April 15, 2012 by Tom Hawkes
cougar1 Posted April 15, 2012 Report Posted April 15, 2012 I honestly don't even know if it is the first generation AT case, you could tell the better one of those by the fake serial on the back. This watch imho is one of those examples of reverse engineering an old selling ploy. Remember before 1:1 came out it was all 'a21j in swiss case'....well this is 'swiss eta in a21j case' ....in other words, it's crap, the movement holder and the movement has changed, the dials had a lick of paint and the dial dw has been morphed to accept the movement, ....all other features could probably be found on any cheap AT concoction from watcheden or timeshops
lebowski Posted April 27, 2012 Report Posted April 27, 2012 Is this a picture of a replica? If it is were can i get one of these it looks amazing!
Tom Hawkes Posted April 27, 2012 Report Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) Of course a replica. Hands wrong, date wrong, case wrong, crown wrong, hour markers wrong.. Edited April 27, 2012 by Tom Hawkes
cougar1 Posted April 27, 2012 Report Posted April 27, 2012 Yep as tom says, it's a rep and there's a lot wrong with it You should probably wait a while until a good one comes out but if you really must I think they are still available on watcheden.
cougar1 Posted April 27, 2012 Report Posted April 27, 2012 I 'think' this is it: http://www.watcheden...-92116-p-1.html or this: http://www.watcheden.net/omega-seamaster-automatic-with-black-dial-leather-strap-i-69592-p-1.html fcuk knows, it's easier to pull out your own teeth than to browse watcheden
