I thought that Daniel Craig looked rough as used razorblades in Road To Perdition. - Great film by the way, but DC looked terrible. He is the least likely looking Bond in my opinion. I would've gone for either Clive Owen or Christian Bale, but Daniel Craig just doesn't have the look for me. But then again, if his performance is good and convincing when the film is seen then this might soften the blow a little. I just don't see DC as a style icon and I don't see him as Bond. With regards to the "LE" other watch that you mentioned Zin, was this it? This is the one I like. I would love to get my hands on one!

Yes pal That's the 40th anny LE. I must admit it looks better than the gun barrel one. I think they are haddable at around GBP1400 or so - discounted PO price range. I know which I'd prefer but in terms of it being an LE........hmmmnnnn Cheers ZIN

Sorry for not including the rest of the info, it is the new 2220.80.00 coaxial. I sent them an email to see if they have it, wont be holding my breath, I think they just posted the new model early. I did a search for "Omega Watch" on a search engine and got a link to topperjewelers, they show a nice photo of the new watch, don't know how to post it here, but you can check it for yourself.

Bill I just posted a watch on the forum but not the one with the reference you posted - in fact I can't find that one . To post a pic, you'll need to register with a picture host like photobucket.com. This can be done free of charge. Then, click the "browse link " on your photobucket page which should take you to the HD of your computer. Select the pic you want and click "submit" to upload Then copy the 3rd option which is the Image Tag and paste it in the body of your text here. Piece of cake Any problems, do feel free to ask Best wishes ZIN

Looks like it worked, hope you enjoy this pic, I know I will be wanting one of these soon. The site I got it off of says they are an AD and their pics are images officially approved by Omega U.S.A

Thanks Bill Glad you got the pic posted. So this is the standard Bond SMP but with a Co-Axial movement? How much are they asking for it if you don't mind my asking please? Cheers ZIN

I'm not sure the price, I called them and ordered my first Omega two days ago. That is the only way to get a quote, and I did not see that they were showing the new Bond until the yesterday. I am deployed in the military and my phone connection is so bad that after I got my price quote I finished my transaction through email. When I saw the new Bond I sent an email asking if they have them in stock, but have to wait until tomorrow for a response.

Have you seen the Planet Ocean? I think it compares favourably with its' 2x depth rating. Here's a pic - Cheers ZIN

Boy! does the main Omega website really keep things under wraps! They are still (to this day) advertising "New/latest products" as the special edition speedmaster and Planet Ocean. There is no news on the Bond SMP which Bill brought to our attention on the site he listed.
Please step it up Omega! Please!

At least we know (or we think we do) that Bond won't be wearing an Orange PO! I'll safely say that! - becuase that's what Omega e-mailed me to say as a little "in-house" joke! They sure do have a sense of humour there! Kind regards Jonathan

Well I got the email from my AD, they said they were told to feature the watch but it isn't going to be out until OCT/NOV.
The watch I ordered was the 3565.80.00 Speedy Gemini4 40th Anniversary 1965-2005
The Speedmaster is the watch that got me interested in Omega, just happened to see it in a watch store, and ever since have been wanting one, or two, or.... When I looked up the Speedy at the Omega site I looked around and noticed the SeMP and I was hooked. Right now I know there are two Omegas that are on the top of the list, SeMP and the Speedy.

I hope this works, never done this before. Great pic... is it just me or do the rounded hour markers look bigger than the current model? I like the red Seamaster text on the dial.
