chris5264 Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 We got out 22mm lugs... how about the planet ocean the way it was meant to be... Black rubber strap!!! pretty please... and the seconds hand with the 007,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,with sugar on top.......If I’m curt, it is because time is of the essence.
hookoo Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 Just saw the new bond movie. The movie definitely focused on the Omega watches. Would love to see this watch with the rubber strap. But, I will do without the 007 on the end of the second hand. Great movie BTW. Very surprised by Daniel Craig. He looks more athletic then the others, so he is more believable in some of those action scenes.
Devedander Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 and the seconds hand with the 007,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,with sugar on top.......If I’m curt, it is because time is of the essence. Laser and grappling hook and I am sold at pretty much any price.

And i can't see brosnan jumping around and kicking people in the face like craig either. I definitely had doubts, but they're gone now - love the movie! Now i want an OHMEEEEGAH!
lovepanerai Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 have just seen it - best Bond ever can't wait for the next one....and yes the rubber strap please
docblackrock Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 Trust me, I've spent last 3 months pestering several dealers about the 22mm rubber strap to no avail. One even confirmed that the makers of the 20mm SM rep strap refused as they didn't think there'd be enough of a ROI on this one! WTF? Maybe now the film is out, and the 22mm PO is in wider circulation, they'll reconsider? BTW, if you want to stump up for the gen, my AD quoted me 160GBP with buckle, and an eye-watering 360GBP with deployant (that's 300USD and 700USD respectively). The AD manager smiled apologetically as if to say 'yes, Omega are taking the [censored] somewhat'. I asked 'do I get a free watch with that?'
r11co Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 Trust me, I've spent last 3 months pestering several dealers about the 22mm rubber strap to no avail. You as well?! And I see more people will now be understanding my squidgy balls reference....
cornerstone Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 For that matter, is there actually a 20mm rep rubber strap that fits the current 42.5mm PO's? The ones that are out there only fit the 3rd generation, is that right? (I think only Trusty carries a 42.5 with a rubber strap, it looks like an older model)

The ones that are out there only fit the 3rd generation, is that right? (I think only Trusty carries a 42.5 with a rubber strap, it looks like an older model) Correct. The case has had to be modified and lugholes redrilled in a different position to allow the rep rubber strap to fit as it was originally designed for the SMP, not the PO. Trusty supplies cases with two sets of lugholes and a positioning hole in the case to accomodate the strap locator. Not having these means you end up with a huge gap between strap end and case. The genuine 20mm PO strap fits the 42.5mm rep perfectly....
cornerstone Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 The genuine 20mm PO strap fits the 42.5mm rep perfectly.... That just makes it hurt all the more! Cheers!
mezzanine Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 No kidding. I've also gone to an AD and priced out the gen strap. Yeah. Not cool.
chad Posted November 20, 2006 Author Report Posted November 20, 2006 So the gen 22mm strap does not fit the newest 6th from joshua? No kidding. I've also gone to an AD and priced out the gen strap. Yeah. Not cool.
chad Posted November 20, 2006 Author Report Posted November 20, 2006 http://www.ofrei.com/page750.html so the gen comes in 20mm and 21mm?? so there is no 22mm? are the lugs on gen are 21mm? and not really 22mm?
r11co Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 They are Seamaster Pro straps for the mid and full sized SMP case, not Planet Ocean straps. You can differentiate the genuine PO strap by the slightly different buckle (it has a round tongue rather than a 10mm flat one).
chad Posted November 20, 2006 Author Report Posted November 20, 2006 hmm....I heard board members buying these for the po? They are Seamaster Pro straps for the mid and full sized SMP case, not Planet Ocean straps. You can differentiate the genuine PO strap by the slightly different buckle (it has a round tongue rather than a 10mm flat one).
rsv123 Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 hmm....I heard board members buying these for the po? I have the 20mm SMP strap on my 42.5 PO and it fits, just not perfectly. Need that 22mm strap for the 45mm rep... the dealers are missing a trick!
docblackrock Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 Well since I was talking to Angus anyway, asked him to check his sources and see what can be done Christ if he can pull off the 187 dive strap/buckle, this is a piece of [censored] in comparison...
smart Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 Did you notice Bond starts out wearing a Planet Ocean with a black strap and then somehow changes to a Seamaster with a steel bracelet. Then, as he dives underwater to save the girl, he has NO watch! Shoddy continuity. Must have been a rep Seamaster!
rek001 Posted December 24, 2006 Report Posted December 24, 2006 I believe Craig wore a 42.5 mm PO in the movie, not 45.
flavor flav Posted December 24, 2006 Report Posted December 24, 2006 i just may buy the gen 007 PO. i'm sick of waiting for the 22mm rubber strap
