cougar1 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Yep totally agree, but you know how it is with their new sales slogans, '1:1, complete teardown, 10 years in the making, all parts interchangeable with...' As long as they get the case and dial right I couldn't care less what movement is in it either, they can sell it movement-less and I'd still buy it if good enough in the front. I'll keep plugging at Angus, he definitley mentioned that noob have looked at the probability of it and it looks good, the case/dial etc look not too difficult, and even though they seem to have a policy of trying to avoid displayback watches in many cases these days, some they just can't ignore, we will know more after the ceramic PO has been released hopefully.

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.....

cougar1 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Yep agreed on the sales slogans, they love it, still some good stuff out these days but it would be nice if they didn't keep shoving out pams and hublots and give us some other choices. I have a closed factory smp too, that was a great price you got it at ... great cases, in some ways we've gone backwards with omega reps compared to a few years ago, yep we have the PO and ploprof, but then we had good smps, speedydates, old AT's and railmasters etc. Enjoy the movie, I hear it's pretty damn good!

r11co Posted October 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 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.

Major_Error Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 In the movie it looks like he is only using a Aqua Terra... Still Omega, mostly, is flashing the PO as Bond-watch 8-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that it looks like a different watch with VCO like flashy markers Lots of watch shots for Omega though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Error Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 I will try to check up that next time I watch that film! (I am looking forward for the DVD....) But did you catch what kind of watch Moneypenny had? I did not catch that... (But my guess is an Omega.....) PH 8-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 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.... I agree 100% These 007-special editions look cheap and cheesy. Omega is only tarnishing their brand image with these. And how many Special Editions they do have? Is it really anything special when you put out a new one every year? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how many Special Editions they do have? Is it really anything special when you put out a new one every year? As i have expressed before these 007 watches look cheap they should keep these in the swatch area not omega i am a bond fan but i second that im interested in the screen watch not a watch that advertises 007 ,007 is famous already and omega is high end watch again does not need any bond endorsment how would it look if aston martin started spashing all over there car 007? with special edition watches they should fix these to the box not on the actual watch and i would like to see a solid backcase to me see thu is tacky if i buy this as rep i would change the backcase first .

tabularasa415 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 That 007 looks horrible. The AT, though... Super classy/sexy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougar1 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 A few nice pics of the blue AT I found on the net, just to [censored] us all off! I love the way the colour/texture/tone changes in different light, it can look anything from teal to mightnight blue depending on light.

r11co Posted November 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 (edited) Is that what he wore in Skyfall? 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....

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.

It did reminds me of the VCO -so chill out mate The markers are the same shape and the polished metal on the edge of the markers reflects light the same way. So that's why it reminded me of my VCO.

whitestripes Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I think unless they can rep the arabesque decoration on the movement its not even worth repping. One look and it's obvious, also why are there still happy feet on logos? I thought we were past that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorian Gray Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 As a Bond fan I'd like a replica to place with all of the rest of my Bond related props. I couldnt care less about the movement or if it shot lasers out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
