Answer:
"It's just a muscle. Only it is the main muscle. It works as perfectly as a Rolex Oyster Perpetual. The trouble is you cannot send it to the Rolex representative when it goes wrong. When it stops, you just do not know the time. You're dead." -- Ernest Hemingway, Across the River and into the Trees
Answer:
Especially since the blue 300m model will not be featured in upcoming film. As y2keable said, it's a bit confusing here. The split-second Broad Arrow looks nice but the dial would have probably looked even better without the pulsation ring.
Just my two cents.

Answer:
the bond was my first high end watch - what close to 10 years ago or so. I have not been a fan of any of the modifications special editions to theis specific watch. The black dialed SMP sword hand was a nice distinctive change, but the changes on the blue dialed smp inc. the 24hr have been imho tacky. To Laugh Often and Much...

Answer:
Lohse Whether you're allowed to or not, we are grateful for your pictures.
Can't say I'll be dashing out to get the Bond,the standard offering was not one of my favourites in any event. Laterly though I have been more enraptured by De Villes and I have to say, the RG X2 is a very nice dress watch - just my humble 2c you appreciate.

Speedy; mish-mash of ideas... "Bond"; big mistake...
DeVille; nice strap... Regards, KierΩn
Answer:
....search for the Eva Green site with stills from a beach scene; Craig is clearly wearing a watch from the traditional Bond series. (Now, whether that is the GMT, 2531, 2541, is anyone's guess....)
Answer:
Thanks for the pictures...dispelling some of the mystery. Now, I wonder if there will be any changes for the regular Seamaster. Answer:
A behind the scene similar to the ones you suggested was also included. That was why I said it so. But I could have remembered things incorrectly. Sorry. Ruckdee
Answer:
...the Bond model is tacky, and I think the lettering on the De Ville looks kind of off.
Answer:
The bond might have been OK if they lost the "spider web" but kept the 007 counterweight. That might have been slightly more subtle. It does tend to make me dizzy to look at it.
Answer:
Fellow Omegaphiles, I have NEVER been overly critical of Omega designs, even ones I didn't much like as I appreciate that there are dfferent strokes for different folks. BUT, I'm simply stunned by the ridiculous design of the new Co-Axial Bond -- What were they thinking?
I don't know if the spiraling pattern on the dial represents the rifling in the gun barrel at the beginning of a Bond movie, or the Seamaster Bond brand reputation swirling down the drain...
