Once I bought my Bond SMP as my first Omega, I went back and watched all the Brosnan Bond films, noting every scene where the watch was displayed. There was a scene in one of them (I can't remember which at the moment) where Bond is called to duty while "entertaining" a beautiful woman. As he answers the phone, you can clearly see the SMP slide down his wrist, so it was obviously quite loose. I mean, after the "workout" he had oviously just had, his wrist should have swelled a bit from perspiration.
