After making my way through the G-threads last night, I guess we're in long-Post mode...
Here are my further thoughts on the big change at Omega vis-a-vis Bond watch ads this morning. If that's not your cup of tea, this eMail isn't for you.
Since Omega has changed its website sometime between midnight and 8:00am Eastern here in the U.S., is it safe to assume that the watches they now list among their "Watch Collection James Bond" are, indeed, James Bond watches?
I mean, now they have scrutinized it (a reasonable assumption), changed it, and put it out there "updated." It's gotta be reliable now, correct?
You recognize the Omega Seamaster 2531.80, of course, from Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough, and Die Another Day, correct?
Now the Omega Seamaster GMT 2535.80.00 sits right next to it.
The only other watch represented as a "Watch Selection James Bond." There is no reference to near-Bond watches, such as the Omega Seamaster 2551.80, which is the mid-sized version of their 2531.80 model. There is no reference to the Omega 2561.80, which is the mid-sized version of their 2541.80 model. As a matter of fact, they do not even include the 2541.80 quartz, which actually did appear on the James Bond character in GoldenEye.
If the Omega Seamaster GMT 2535.80.00 didn't appear on 007 in any movie so far (or did I miss something?), then are we now being told that this is the new Casino Royale watch?
