Omega Releases New James Bond Seamaster “Skyfall” Limited Edition (Video)
You knew it was coming… as inevitable as James Bond seducing a femme fatale and ordering a shaken-not-stirred martini, Omega has launched its latest limited-edition Seamaster watch in anticipation of this fall’s long-awaited new Bond film, Skyfall. Bond, who was famously a Rolex wearer in the original novels by Ian Fleming, has been an Omega man in his big-screen incarnation since 1995’s Goldeneye, in which Pierce Brosnan, debuting in the role of Agent 007, wore an Omega Seamaster Pro. Both Brosnan and his successor, Daniel Craig, have worn Omega models in every Bond movie since. (In fact, in 2006’s Casino Royale, the first movie with Craig in the lead role, Bond even corrects his female companion, Vesper Lind, who mistakes his Omega for a Rolex.) As it has done on several occasions since 2002 (the 40th anniversary of the Bond Bond films), Omega is releasing a limited-edition watch to accompany the latest film �� Craig’s third installment as Bond and the se

It was supposed to be a ROLEX, I swear!!!
Well, I decided I was going to do it today. For my 32nd birthday this month finally purchase the Rolex watch I've wanted for so long, the No-Date Submariner...black dial...stainless steel..timeless. I wanted a brand new Rolex to keep forever. Well, I walked into Tourneau at the Pentagon City Mall and headed straight for the Rolex section. The extremely beautiful Adriana showed me the Sub. It looked beautiful, but didn't make my heart go pitter-patter when I had it on my wrist like I thought it would.Next I looked at several Omega watches. I liked them very much, but again...no pitter patter. Out of the corner of my eye I saw the Breitling section. I've never given any thought to owning a Breitling. I saw the SuperOcean on mesh....and it had an aura around it....what is that? I thought to myself.Adriana spotted where I was looking. Oh, do you want to see that? I really like these., said Adriana. I saw this watch and thought, sheesh...this will be way more than the Rolex. It was gorgeous

Recently purchased this SMP300 with every intention of eventually getting it wet on a dive trip. I love the bracelet, but figured a NATO strap would be better when diving. This strap arrived today. I think the red is a great contrast to the blue face and matches the Seamaster logo and second hand. More photos will follow after the next dive trip.

5980/1/A dial color production question
Been thinking about getting the 5980 1/A. For dial color I was thinking black as I understood these were the 2nd least produced in the series - can anyone clarify?I was told that in numbers produced, from greatest to least, are:1. Black2. Blue3. White While I thought it was:1. Blue2. Black3. White

A good day...
One of the things that I love about Patek is that they are nondescript. Chances are very few of us get asked is that a Patek? or how much does it cost? This generally suits me fine.Imagine my surprise today when an airline passenger (not first class) seated next to me says, excuse me but is that a Patek Calatrava? Wow. The fact that he knew it was a Patek much less a Calatrava was astonishing. Turns out he's interested in watches but doesn't have the resources to indulge himself in this hobby. He was wearing a very clean and obviously well cared for Seiko on strap. He isn't on watch forums but gets his knowledge from watch magazines and really knows his stuff. After a very pleasant hour discussing the merits of various watch topics (silicone hairsprings was an interesting conversation), he says, someday I'd love to try on a Patek as he doesn't live near an AD and has never visited one. Well what's a guy to do right? Would you like to try mine on? I let him wear my watch and he was spee
