Ok, since it's not Bond related, I'm back again...

Thanks , man! It makes me smile too! Actually, it looks just like me, struggling through the mud in the rain!

Not exactly ...

She says something like, "Your watch is beautiful; Rolex?"

007 says, "Omega"

She says, "Beautiful!"

There was nothing about Omega being better than Rolex.

Thanks, Mate... I do love my Avatar! And yip, I'm pure POM... But I'm a Scotsman so maybe I'm just your kind of POM! (Hell, I've even got a Blue Heeler!?)

There is only one James Bond...and he was before I was even born.

It appears that Craig the actor has much better taste in watches than Craig the fictional James Bond :)

Craig is also a Project X fan...

I like this bad boy; but at GBP10K, the bang for buck factor is a bit over the top..

I know i will be without much support on this one, but I feel the Nylon Safari suits a 40" waist and the raised eyebrow still rocks for me. I was a child of the 70's which explains a lot

however reading the books i picture Sean in my head. Thunderball was an awsome film and the book was just as good.

Back to DC he was good in Casino, great debut but Quantum was weak in many ways. Too much on the mobile phone, sunseeker yachts and an Aston that cant get away from some Alfa Romeo police cars? Do me a favour.


Ahhh i am getting involved!!!! I am with the Badger and walking away.



Still Walking

I happen to think that DC does an adequate job of being James Bond but the best ever and in a league of his own is Mr. Connery!!!

Daniel Craig simply personifies Bond.


His predecessors were almost insignificant by comparison.

Wow, that's quite the collection of photos. Seems to prove he's definitely a Rolex guy. But he's actually listed as an ambassador of Omega - not just the James Bond character, but himself by name. He's being a terrible ambassador!

As a teenager I remember Dr. No, Goldfinger, From Russia With Love, etc, so Mr. Connery will always be "the" James Bond. But, I must say Craig does a very good job of it. Anybody but Roger Moore.

IMHO, DC has the right amount of mongrel, desperation, smarts, fight and charm to pull it off. Connery is the quintessential Bond, true to the books generation of readers. Movie production values have changed through out the decades of Bond movies as well.

DC is this generations super agent, with less gadgets....But he's still the man evil henchmen can't root, shoot or electrocute
