In Response To: Re: Don't forget Sean Connery ()

My first and only Omega is the 4532.51.00, which is the steel bracelet version of the DeVille "Bond" watch. I first spotted it on the so-called "Bond series" Omega webpage. And YES, it is THE way to go IMO! ;-)

: Well, it is true that the DeVille is not a
: diver's watch and has a low water resistance
: rating, so going diving with a watch on a
: leather strap isn't something I'd expect
: from that watch, anyway. I can see putting a
: diver's watch on a rubber strap, but no
: one's going to go jump in the ocean with
: their watch on a premium alligator strap.

: I just think that from a "wear and
: tear" perspective a bracelet is
: definitely the way to go. Only my opinion,
: though.
