TeeJay Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 I understand all your vision. I love Fleming's books, but make movies who respect exactly Fleming's visions, with actuality problems could be any sens... That why for me, the evolution of Bond is important. Craig is a good choice I never said that wasn't. He is actualy the most realistic James Bond ever made. The PO is more Bond because it's a real functional watch. But the SMP can be a Bond's watch too (SMP with rubber strap...). The PO without the rubber strap loose his personality and I prefer the SMP with stainless steel strap. I post a shoot of my wrist. 41MM is my size I think... 45MM can be big... I never try the PO: Don't let the size of the Planet Ocean put you off. I admit, if you go into an AD, and try the 45 on after wearing your SMP, then yes, it will look huge. But. Go into an AD without having had a watch on for a few hours and try one on, and you won't be comparing it to a smaller watch, you'll just be judging it on it's merits. As long as the tips of the lugs aren't hanging over the sides of your wrist (at the same time ) the watch isn't too big It's worth going, even if just to try one on so you'll know one way or the other The first time I tried on a 45 Planet Ocean, I'd taken off my Daytona, and my wife thought it was too big by comparison. When I finally ordered the 45 and put it on (without anything else as a comparison) she didn't think it was too big at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashman Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I've got a PO 42mm on order and I can't wait to wear it to the movie launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perry563 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 The first top end gen I bought was an Omega Seamaster automatic..blue dial. I bought it from a local Jeweler for around $1600 back I would say 10 years ago. problem was back then I thought the mens large size was too big and bou8ght instead the meds mid sized version. BIG was not IN back 10 years ago mind you. Now of course I think the watch is too small for me and I never wear it! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perry563 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Connery was THE James Bond. All others fall short. The author who wrote the BOND novels felt, as soon as he met Connery, that he was the perfect James Bond. I think that says it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipSlap Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Thanks for letting us see what a PO with sword hands would look like. My preference is for the 45mm PO. I wear mine frequently with rubber and with ss. It just looks more utilitarian, which is the aspect of the Bond character I prefer. It is kind of a large watch, but just think of it as 220 grams of training weight for your off hand. My boss wears a gen SMP and prefers that, but his wrists are smaller. That is a consideration. At least you have the consolation of knowing there is no wrong choice. And why hasn't anybody spoken up for George Lazenby??!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmegaSeamasterguy Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Hi everybody! Finally it's probably my time to buy a GEN! I have for project to buy a gen (in 1month...) but I'm really not sure about the model I really want... I have a SMP replica Bond model. That watch was one of my dream. I love the PO 45MM with rubber strap but I don't know what is better between the PO and the new SMP. I know, choose a watch is a very personal thing but I would like your opinions! so: or this Thanks guys!! J.Bd i own both the gen 2254.50 and gen 2531.80 ...if it was up to me i will sell my 2254.50 and get the black bond PO 45 imo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanya Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 How about both??? My Newer (about 2 months old) Gen SMP Chrono And my Genified UPO with Gen Dial, Crystal, Crown, HE Valve, Hands, and modded pearl (relumed resset to correct height and a thin layer of clear epoxy over the lume to mimic the sapphire pane on the gen. Parts, watch and labor about $850ish for essentially a gen. I know I owned two gen PO's a pumpkin and a black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its classic and it shows pure luxury in its own way.. I'm actually saving up to get it.. For the PO with rubber straps, I think I will only get a rep of that one.. Anyway JBond, have you bought your gen Omega yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris93 Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 I own a gen SMP (not coaxial). It's a great watch, comfortable, easy to wear, classy and sporty. However, I'm going to buy the UPO. I've tried the gen this morning and it looks fine. The watch has a lot of presence but not to heavy. If I had to buy a gen, I would get the PO 45mm, but it's much more expensive : 2800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
