Toadtorrent Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 I'm thinking, if he's wearing jeans and a sweater, with a flat white harness UNDER the sweater, he's still on set...so the PO would be par for the course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victoria Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Actually, it was a photoshoot on a clifftop hence the harness (insurance requirements). Bond 22 hasn't started shooting yet Ah, but is this true? Didn't someone recently post a still photograph suggesting that in Bond 22, the PO is not going to be the watch of choice? It was IIRC, a shot of Craig in character as 007. Now, it could be that they were doing preliminary photography, and the cameras weren't officially rolling.

Pic was from a shoot for GQ, which also includes a same-day shot piece on one of his chosen charities, the RNLI (excellent choice Mister Bond ). In the accompanying interview he mentions he's tied up until December and then after the holiday he starts shooting on Bond 22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mentalist Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 I think the simple answer is that Craig is the 'official' Bond and due to the nature of the contract between Danjaq and Omega he is by extension a brand ambassador for them meaning that he has to be seen to be wearing the Bond watch during all publicity shots and public engagements. I seem to recall that during Brosnan's tenure the SMP was welded to his wrist for most of it, on and off screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 I seem to recall that during Brosnan's tenure the SMP was welded to his wrist for most of it, on and off screen. Apart from when he was posing for Breil adverts. You can be pretty sure Daniel Craig doesn't pay for his Omegas, though. I don't blame him.

Victoria Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Where's Rico when we need him?! OH! Hang on, this reminds me. The other day I was in a seedy part of Miami, waiting for my mum to come out of this shop, when I notice this Rico Suave Hispanic guy kept giving me the eye. And in fact, licking his lips at me. All he needed was a crotch-grab. I was reminded of John Leguizamo's standup routine in drag, where he shouted, "Take a pic-tcha! It'll last you longa!". So I did. You make me hot, papi!! Especially the lycra Kelly green shorts. Pic was from a shoot for GQ, which also includes a same-day shot piece on one of his chosen charities, the RNLI (excellent choice Mister Bond ). In the accompanying interview he mentions he's tied up until December and then after the holiday he starts shooting on Bond 22. Ahh, gotcha. I searched all over for that thread, and couldn't find it, so thanks for remembering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted November 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Actually he doesn't have a personal 'ambassador' endorsement role for Omega like Brosnan did, so any watch he wears is his own choice. Funny you mention that Pug, he does say due to the box-office takings he was "sorted out" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mentalist Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 (edited) Apart from when he was posing for Breil adverts. Don't remind me. It still makes me wince when I see that he ditched Brioni for Aquascutum. Edited November 4, 2007 by The Mentalist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Funny you mention that Pug, he does say due to the box-office takings he was "sorted out" Omega would be bloody stupid not to have given him a couple of POs. It's a decent unpretentious watch and his wearing it off-the-clock will do them no harm at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 A friend asked me one day how much the watch costs that Bond wears. I said back in the old days, the Sub was the choice and that was about $6K (in today's dollars), then more recently the SMP which could be had for a couple thousand, and finally the PO at about $4-5K. The response? "That's it?? I thought Bond was supposed to wear an expensive watch if he's going into those high class casinos" My reply: "...you have to remember...he's technically a Civil Servant".

Victoria Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Since when is $5000 a cheap watch? Around the same time $400 became a cheap rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsons Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Perhaps before he had an opportunity to read the fine print of his Omega contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r11co Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Hmmm. And there was me thinking his watch was a black dial PO 45mm with SS bracelet. WRT to which watch(es) in Bond 22, no info as yet. Some preliminary filming took place away back in August, but it was crowd scenes for an historic sporting event. DC was there and was wearing...... a black dial PO 45mm with SS bracelet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mentalist Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 I think that pretty much nails it in regards to the Bond 22 watch. I really can't see them going for anything else unless there is some else new on the horizon that has somehow slipped under our radar. For all of us who own Black 45mm PO on SS, it puts us ahead of the curve. I predict that come the release of Bond 22 the 45mm PO on SS will be seen as the Bond watch, as linked to Craig as the SMP was to Brosnan.

Toadtorrent Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Around the same time $400 became a cheap rep. You got it Lady V!! Also, considering the MSRP on the gen versions of some of the more popular reps, $5K is a cheap watch: Breitling fg and tt Bentleys Rolex TT Submariner IWC Big Pilot HBB (I think the taxes on this watch alone in many countries are more than the full cost of a PO) AND...considering the Bond lifestyle: Aston Martin DBS First Class Trans Atlantic flights Stays in villas at Le Casino Royale in Montenegro ...it's all relative.

The Mentalist Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Surely if they have already filmed scenes with the 45mm PO on SS, continuity would suggest that for at least some of the film, that will be the Bond watch unless they do what they did in the previous movie and change the watch halfway through. Either way, this is the first time we have seen Craig wear the PO on SS as Bond and that is good enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r11co Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Either way, this is the first time we have seen Craig wear the PO on SS as Bond and that is good enough for me. My sources tell me DC was present as a guest of the local dignitaries (probably to schmooze them while the camera crew did their bit), but wasn't in front of the cameras himself....
