: Heck, I am a huge Bond fan. But I considered

: Also, realize that if you ever have to send a

I was talking about the original, as sold by Omega, 007 LE Seamaster. I would never alter a factory-built watch to turn it into something that was never made by Omega.

And yes, the 007 LE is a little too flashy and geeky for my taste as well.
