Re: Here is my thoughts on this

In Response To: Here is my thoughts on this ()

: I think this is missing a bit of historical
: perspective, and maybe is stressed a bit
: because you want to know the new Bond watch.
: I wan't to know tooooooooo

: But the De Ville power reserve has been a
: "Bond watch" for a long time I
: think. Not in the movies, but as the choice
: of an ambassador - Pierce Brosnan. You can
: see him in the good old catalouge as well.
: If I don't remember too wrong, the three
: watches named as Watch Selections James Bond
: on the web today, was called the choice of
: Pierce Brosnan on the old Omega Web, when he
: actually was an ambassador

: Things like that might happen when an
: ambassador has to be replaced

I can undersand that. I think that the confusion comes from the fact that Brosnan has been seen sporting so MANY different Omega models in magazines, etc., that it's hard to keep track. I have never actually seen Brosnan in any ads wearing the Bond GMT or the DeVille, but I have seen him wearing the Railmaster, a gold Aqua Terra, the 2254.50 Seamaster, and, of course, the Bond SMP (all in magazine ads, by the way). So, maybe he was asked to select these three models as his personal choices for his "top 3 favorite models", or maybe Omega chose them for him to try to generate sales. At this point I'm not sure of anything. I'm just eagerly waiting to see what the next Bond watch will be just like everyone else!!!!
