I like it but would not buy one at full retail. Like a lot of Omega LE's I will see where it goes.

Here you go for comparison. I love my SMP. This is nice. But certainly not worth changing. And if I had to choose today, I’d still choose the original. But it’s better than I first thought.
Based on this photo I much prefer the original.

I like it, it's a fun watch. Certainly not to be taken seriously.

With all the good things Omega is doing lately this is really disappointing

Not surprising. many, especially folks outside this forum want a watch that is fun and has a story and actually like that it is associated with something. Its not for me, but I can respect that. Many dislike the LE's that omega puts out, but I think they are more focused on making the larger audience happy as well as the purists. Lets face it, while this one and some others I can recall (ie bond commander watch) leave me wondering, but their reissue of the railmaster, revival of the 321 movement, semaster 300 are on point and even make the purists happy. So I think they do a fair job of balancing the larger audiance and also the forum folks like us.

I also think Omega gets ripped for the LE's but lets face it JLC and even AP have had their share of LE's. At the end of the day, business is business and if no one is buying, the watch companies we love will fold. LE's are a way to be attractive to folks who may otherwise be 1 nice watch people, which is likely 99% of the owners.

The gold hands and the gold outlined indicies just does NOT work with the stainless watch.

Actually the hands can easily get lost in the spirals in that real pic, just think it all screams limited edition which is not my cup of tea but presumably there are Bond collectors so good for them.

Does it spin in the opposite direction in the southern hemisphere?

It’s interesting. The coolest feature is the 50 hidden in the 10 lume. But the mix of SS and Gold and design is a little busy for me.

I have the 50th Bond watch and I like it better than the last two that came out.

Pretty cool how they used the font from the series for the date and adding in little details that will really appeal to the Bond fans. Not sure if it can really be considered LE with that many watches though haha.

Just noticed I also had the announcement email from my OB, sitting in my inbox from 2 days ago. Haha maybe that says something about how I subconsciously gloss over some messages. I actually think the watch itself looks neat, but the LE thing over OHMSS is silly IMHO.

I was planning to go to the mall this weekend anyway for a Prada event, so maybe I'll stop by the OB as well. Then Mrs Yoda can also go look at her Constellations. All this assuming I can get over this horrible cold I'm battling though.

Check out the Prada running shoes, the red and black ones with the huge soles. I almost bought a pair yesterday.

I'm actually a fan of this piece. Not planning to buy but I like it and think the use of gold was very tasteful.

There’s a lot of individual components that I really like but all of them together is too much and makes it a bit of a mess. This watch could have benefited greatly from the less is more philosophy.

It'll be on J&@a$h#p in 5 weeks at 30% off.

The gun rifling represents Omega shooting itself in the foot yet again.

I don’t think it’s terrible - that being said I prefer the non LE version.

I was contemplating waiting to see what comes out for No Time To Do -

I ended up telling my AD to get me a Blue bezel Blue dial Seamaster Pro yesterday. Fills the blue void in the collection. Getting it on the bracelet and ordering the blue rubber strap. Excited to have a Seamaster back in the fold.
