The 007 connection with Omega

Please forgive me if this was posted before, but I just came across this today.

http://www.chronocentric.com/omega/bond.shtml#bond

It is a worthwhile read!

Interesting, but the excus- sorry, justifications for "Euro Bond" wearing an Omega are lamer than a Cambodian minefield dancer.

The sub will always be a true bond watch. Why would anyone want to wear a Omega with the 007 logo inscribed on the dial????Without the Sub worn in a bond film just adds to the Rolex Sub legend IMHO

Ya, not a fan of the second hands with the "007" inscribed, but some people love it
