r11co Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 (edited) It comes with all the flaws that are typical of today's SMP reps. (single piece end link, oversized pearl, etched rather than engraved clasp) and the simultaneous release of the Asian and ETA movement models confirms what many of us have suspected for a while now that we are simply getting the same cases with movements swapped these days. Oh, all the above notwithstanding the completely wrong colour, bezel font and caseback combination, plus the fact the original is awful looking anyway...

ryaku Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 In my eyes, THATS one crazzzzy dial. Perfect for this forum i think... Not on my list, never ever... //robi I'm a lover of omega watches but i don't like it at all, either the genuine one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 BAD first version of a no good looking watch.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gran Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Looking at this watch I wonder what the potential customers might be is it only for die hard Bond fans? I have a similar feeling towards the Olympic watches from Omega and Longines. They look great while the Olympics is going on but looks silly in the periods in between the event Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look great while the Olympics is going on but looks silly in the periods in between the event I agree...very specialised clientele. Not too my tastes, but hey...Omega think they can get sales so someone must like it! Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcrooz Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 That is one of the worst (if not the worst) Omega I know of. Not for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r11co Posted May 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 (edited) Looking at this watch I wonder what the potential customers might be is it only for die hard Bond fans? I am a die-hard Bond fan, and I'd never wear one of these. It only interests me insofar as I despair at the thought that Omega marketing people know there are folks out there who will want one and buy it, and those people want to associate with the Bond thing. I wasn't too keen on the 40th Anniversary 10007 model SMP either* - I'd rather have the actual watches as worn in the movies than something carrying the trademarks! (*I'd still kill for one of the 2892 based reps though - if only to transplant the face of my 2824 SMP into...)

jimmytim Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 My head is spining!!! That looks like a ten dollar watch to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r11co Posted May 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 (edited) PS. This watch is about as far removed as you can get from any of the models that will feature in the movie 'Casino Royale' being released on November 17th. Correct watches are the 45mm black Planet Ocean with rubber strap, and the blue Seamaster Pro 300m GMT model.

Indyclmbr Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Yikes! The graphic on the dial is great when it's on film and accompanied by the Bond theme music. Man, that's fun to watch and hear with some popcorn, but not on the wrist. I agree with miguel, I'd be afraid of walking into a bus as well. Climb on.

crystalcranium Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Echhhhh, Anyone remember the TV show The Time Machine from the '60s. Be careful not to fall into that dial. What the hell is Omega thinking and why make a rep of such an awful watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
