r11co Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 (edited) Nah nah nah.....told you so......imagine even suggesting I don't know my [censored] from my earhole........its' an SMP 007........in big bold closeup......! PS......no 45mm black bezel Planet Ocean for you.....now that I have them in stock....! Well, now that I don't have to go getting myself a GMT in order to 'keep up', I'll have the money to spend on one of your POs (Rubber strap, please! Oh, and if its the same 45 that the rest have got I'm no interested....) Edited June 16, 2006 by r11co Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docblackrock Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 (Rubber strap, please! Oh, and if its the same 45 that the rest have got I'm no interested....) Well do ya Neil??? Hmm, do I get the black 45 PO on rubber (ETA, natch) or wait for the equivalent chrono models to surface ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 <<sigh>> Does no one EVER read my posts on this subject. The movie character will wear two Omega watches - the black 45mm Planet Ocean with rubber strap, and the 300m Seamaster Professional GMT. Is this still believed to be the case?

docblackrock Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Is this still believed to be the case? Well far be it for me to stir the conspiracy theorists out there, but a little (very well-connected ) birdie told me that Omega themselves haven't even decided yet exactly which models 007 will be showcasing either in the film or for off-screen promotion. Hence the photoshopped and fuzzy pics (and handbag-type arguments here ). Apparently the film is in post-production and it'll be decided during the edits. One thing's for sure though - they are creaming their pants literally at the ongoing speculation as they obviously keen to squeeze every last drop of PR from the association especially as interest is ramped up when it's a 'new' Bond. Who knows, maybe Craig will be like that Swatch guy, Hayek and have several strapped all the way up his wrist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 (edited) Some additional info not connected with above speculation but taken verbatim from a certain piece of ahem, 'official' literature procured today, take from it what you will... Seamaster Chrono Diver Bond Objective: "To upgrade the current Bond Chrono Diver with a new dial" Seamaster Diver Bond Co-Axial (note: akin to the old SMP/007) Objective: "To upgrade the current Bond watches to Co-Axial escapement and update dial" Seamaster James Bond Limited Edition (note this is the 'swirly face') Objective: "To introduce a limited edition to coincide with the launch of the new James Bond film" Interesting that all release dates are Sept/Oct 2006 EXCEPT the (SMP) Bond Co-Axial which is listed as November, coincidentally the month of the film's release. *edited for typos, sorry* Edited June 22, 2006 by docblackrock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r11co Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 My initial information came from people on and around the set who saw the watches that were being used while filming. Obviously if some digital jiggery-pokery is going to be used in post-production then their info cannot be faulted. One thing I knew from the start was that Omega had made it a priority to showcase the Co-Axial movement, which is why the PO was a good initial choice for filming while a decision was being made on the SMP - the upgrade to co-axial movement for the 'Bond Blue' has been an open secret since before the whole Casion Royale hoohaa even began. Oh, and apparently Daniel Craig turned up at his unveiling press conference wearing a DeVille on a black leather strap, adding even more to the confusion....

Well, I have an Omega GMT Bond-style in the post currently. If it's not used in the film, I'll not be too upset. I wonder if the black PO, an excellent choice for Bond doing watery stuff by the way, will become a PO-Chrono ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r11co Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 (edited) It just occurred to me that if the Co-Axial SMP 300m breaks cover in November and is 'retro-fitted' to the movie, or has in fact been used in filming, then upgrading our existing reps will be a matter of a simple dial swap (plus a movement exchange for a 2846 if you want to be really pedantic).

I'm with you Puggy, I prefer my tastes to be less mainstream and I'd rather someone spy my forthcoming PO Chrono and say 'cool watch' rather than 'oh isn't that the new James Bond watch?' as if I was some sad desperate 007-wannabee (even if for like 99.9% of men, it IS true ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trick is to be wearing the watch constantly in the run-up to the movie, and then when everyone has seen it and recognises the watch you've been wearing for the past 10 months, you acknowledge their powers of observation and change model just as they are rushing out for one.
