Rolexman Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 (edited) WOW! Nice pre-view! With New Casino Royale 007 & Omega Globe Logo on case back! Sweeeeeeeeet! Edited March 20, 2007 by Rolexman
b16a2 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 (edited) Looks nice. Ultimate PO with different case back and second hand? Wrong logo still, and squiffy 6 and 12 (might be the example on PC) marker jump out on that. Edited March 20, 2007 by b16a2
b16a2 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 Isn't it meant to be on a rubber strap too the Casino Royale edition?
Rolexman Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 Little off topic but does anybody know if ALL genuine POs have the 'globe' symbol engraved on the case back?
rsv123 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 Little off topic but does anybody know if ALL genuine POs have the 'globe' symbol engraved on the case back? Apparently some do and some don't...
rsv123 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 Cool. Now they have to get the strap. Without the rubber strap this special edition would be pointless, I am sure they must be making the strap...
Pugwash Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 Without the rubber strap this special edition would be pointless, I am sure they must be making the strap... ... just not yet.
rsv123 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 ... just not yet. But they are going to make right? I can't see them shifting many Casino Royale special editions without it, since that is what the gen is supplied on.

I hear it's a couple of months away, but someone better-informed will probably chirp in and conform or deny that.
bklm1234 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 I've been holding off getting the ultimate po for this. Seems like another couple months are needed, for the rubber strap. -bm
andreww Posted March 20, 2007 Author Report Posted March 20, 2007 I hear it's a couple of months away, but someone better-informed will probably chirp in and conform or deny that. From Andrews post Watch meantime is only avail in SS Bracelet for now. There is no rubber strap avail yet. Maker should have the strap ready in a couple of months.. Thus, please do not flood my mailbox asking for rubber strap.. It is not avail now.
uziuzi Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 Well i guess they only chaged the second hand and the caseback, everything else the same...and the caseback looks pretty bad (sorry to say this) and wrong logo again...this is not the Angus-type of high end rep i was hoping for......
Steve G Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 I'll just say I don't like it. Even if it was repped with 100% accuracy, I just don't like it.
mumum Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 I'll just say I don't like it. Even if it was repped with 100% accuracy, I just don't like it. Agreed, rather get ultimate PO or similar instead of a "007" fad version capitalizing not really bond but a bond movie. As Connery would say "...bloody hell".
justaguy88 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 (edited) I dont like it either. It just screams CHEEEEESY. Bond would wear a tribute watch. Are we goin to start collecting lunchboxes too? Edited March 20, 2007 by justaguy88
dadog13 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 i was waiting for this one too...seems that i'll have to wait a little bit more, cause i don't wanna wear that one with a bracelet...it looks better with the rubber strap...
TeeJay Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 Nice watch, but without the rubber strap, it is not 007 accurate
jfreeman420 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 Nice watch, but without the rubber strap, it is not 007 accurate It isn't accurate anyway. Bond didn't have 007 on his watch in the movie. This whole thing is very Disneyesque. You don't see Rolex screwing up their watches do you? Not what you should expect from a high end watch. What's next, a Batman Panerai?
andreww Posted March 20, 2007 Author Report Posted March 20, 2007 It isn't accurate anyway. It was never meant to resemble anything in the movie. Its a special limited edition watch to commemorate a movie. Many watch companies put out special editions, including Panerai (North Pole), Breitling (Various Aviation themes), Omega (Olympics), etc.

You don't see Rolex screwing up their watches do you? Not what you should expect from a high end watch. What's next, a Batman Panerai? This is very true... To be honest, I do not like any of the Limited Edition watches. They are just a marketing exercise. There was a Panerai in Batman? What model was it? It was never meant to resemble anything in the movie. Its a special limited edition watch to commemorate a movie. Many watch companies put out special editions, including Panerai (North Pole), Breitling (Various Aviation themes), Omega (Olympics), etc. This is true, but the LE 45 PO is only available on the rubber bracelet. Unless the factory put the rubber strap on the watch before it goes into sales, the price should be reduced to reflect the cost that an owner would have to go to to fit the proper strap.
Seadweller4000 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 Maybe you guys should get the gen diverstrap?
