Omega's "disgraceful public relations bungle" *PIC*

In Response To: Re: What we know about "Casino Royale" ()

As I begin this Post, I sorta feel like Quint in that early scene in Jaws, where he scratches down the chalkboard.

To paraphrase-- You all know me, and you all know where I stand on this issue.

For what it's worth, I have before me at this very moment an official eMail from a real officer w/ the Omega SA press department, dated January 31, 2006. I won't share all 357 words here, but the one phrase I will share is where she says, "...in the coming months we will issue a press release regarding this matter..." (emphasis added).

That was 2 days before MI6 ran its story, "Omega DeVille may be 007's new watch in Casino Royale," on of it's top read stories now and a top read among Google News Searches.

Public scrutiny has a curious effect on behavior.

As to the "certain athletic 'in your face' panache" required to wear an orange Planet Ocean - that criteria wouldn't slow me in the least. But if we're going that far, why not put it up in titanium as something to back any testosterone it may bring out?
