Batman limited Omega that is a damn fine idea I would buy one for sure to go with my classic Batman watch.

You're right Dan, Rolex never brought us a jacked up cheesy piece.

I'll just leave this here if you don't mind...

Oh shit, I was so repulsed by the face that I didn't even notice that. WTF, Omega?!

But, I've been seeing posts about this on different forums and Facebook, and it seems like a lot of "kids" seem to be loving it.

Not a big fan. They need to stop with all these ugly special editions and spend extra money on other things...

It literally looks a replica from those replica websites.

Just wait a bit longer...


Otherwise I think the new SMP is awesome! I might buy one. But not the Bond.

Have you guys seen this new "LE" bond watch? Does anyone actually like it? I have always wanted a speedmaster, but over the top commercial tributes like this really make me question Omega's respect to their own brand and history. Thoughts?
I happened to see this on Hodinkee the other day as well and had the same reaction: "REALLY?" What suprised me more was the number that will be produced. 11000 people are going to buy this?

I have never been a fan of the special editions.
This is probably the worst one yet - although the crystal with etched Quantum of solace will always have a special place in hell for me...

This wont affect my opinion of Omega, but I have to agree - limited to > 11000...

I'm thinking that Omega may think alot less of me than I do of it...
