James Bond Wears Omega Watch In 007: Blood Stone Video Game
While this is not exactly a surprise, it is pretty neat. James Bond has been wearing an Omega watch for a long time (since maybe 1995). The brand was able to usurp Rolex - as was the watch chosen by Ian Flemming originally. In the upcoming James Bond 007: Blood Stone video game, the digitized version of the Daniel Craig will wear a prominent Omega Seamaster Professional Ref. 22005000 watch. It is part of the Planet Ocean collection and has a retail price of $3,950. I believe that this is the same watch he wore in one of the recent movies. Perhaps Quantum of Solace.The watch is a good look for Band (and anyone really), and is thankfully not one of the branded limited edition models made for the fact that 007 wears an Omega. The Seamsater Pro is a 45.5mm wide model and funny enough looks smaller on the digital character's wrist than it should given the size of the case. Unless I missed something and Daniel Craig has massive wrists. So imagine you have never seen the watch, play the game,

Two Men Bought The Very Same Kind Of Watch On The Same Day In The Same Town, One Paid $950,000 More
Here is a question I receive at a frequency of more than three times per week, in person: "How much should I pay for a 5513 Sub?"To answer that question with less than six caveats does the inquirer, and the world of vintage watches, a disservice. For a late 5513 with white gold surrounds, the answer would be one thing. For an early matte dial, another. For a gilt, yet another. For an underline, another. For a military-issued 5513, still another. For an Explorer-dialed piece, yet another. Oh, and any of the above could range from x to x times three for an NOS example with box and papers. You see, the thing with vintage watches is, there is no "market price" for an entire category of watches – and that is the first thing I want new vintage watch lovers to understand. And that is why I am here to tell you about something that happened on November 8th, 2015 in Geneva – to show you just how wild this market is, so that you don't try to make general assump

41mm RO or 41mm ROC?
I don't think anyone has made a thread on this. Which would you choose between the 2 designs?Could be any variation of either as long as it's 41mm. Also compare apples to apples. Don't compare a RG ROC to an SS RO.

Speedy not repaired after 5 months!
Allow me to to tell you my tale of woe and then I'd be grateful for any advice.Cast your mind back to 9th September last year. I'm on holiday and decide to treat myself to a new Speedmaster Pro from an AD in a city 300 miles from home. I have a very pleasant transaction with the salesman and receive a 12% discount. I'm happy.2 weeks later, I'm not quite so happy. The Speedmaster has a serious problem. After a full wind it dramatically gains time, 20 seconds in 5 minutes! I've also spotted a dent in the bezel. I refer back to a photo I took an hour after purchase which shows the ding, (at the 90 mark) but which took me 2 weeks to notice. I didn't dent my new watch.So with cosmetic and major mechanical faults, I agree with the AD to send it back to him. That was on the 29th September 2009.135 days later I've still not got it back on my wrist! The AD sent it to Omega and by mid-December it was back at his shop with the mechanical problem repaired. However Omega had refused to replace the

How many BLNR owners will be jumping ship for new Pepsi?
I love my BLNR even more after seeing the new Pepsi. I'm glad it lives on but it doesn't look good with that jubilee. I couldn't care less about the new case (which looks the same) or the new movement since my 3186 is spot on.So how many BLNR owners will be selling theirs once they get the Pepsi?
