Blancpain makes sense, if Rolex (the original after all) is out of the picture.

Bond should be wearing a Fifty Fathoms!

I am not posting this in the Omega forum as I know I’d probably get stoned (hey, I have an Omega too). lol. But was thinking that Bond really should not be wearing a Seamaster. I mean, we all know Bond drives an Aston Martin…an exclusive and highly stylis...

Yes! I mention FF

Because he always wears a diver watch, but yes….the Omega doesn’t suit him.
I’m focusing on the most recent
By: @wewannaporsche : January 10th, 2024-21:19
Movies and what they’re doing with the franchise now, not the past, so it really doesn’t matter which Omega of the past. The most recent ones from the most recent movies IMHO should be changed to Blancpain as the new supplier going forward. 😁
Q (MI6)

Does not outfit their agents according to fashion or taste. I will remind you that when NASA strapped Speedmasters to the wrists of Apollo astronauts one of the reasons was the FAILURE of Rolex in testing. With regard to BP I’m guessing MI6 did not want t...
Then why the Aston?

It doesn’t perform better than a Porsche but it is more exclusive, expensive, and stylish. He often even drives the old Aston’s. Remember, Bond’s image is of style. He drinks martinis and eats Caviar…no domestic beer for him. 😆
In Ian Fleming books

he drives an antique Bentley (an old project he payed for) as mentioned in Casino Royale. His lifestyle is payed for by the winnings of his own private gambling…also mentioned in a number of the books including Casino…
Right, that may be in the books

But are you saying the new Astons that were supplied to him in recent movies that were prototypes even purchased by Q or Bond’s winnings? I doubt it was from his winnings. The car was actually assigned to another 00 before he stole it for himself. The boo...
Yes I am not arguing
By: @wewannaporsche : January 9th, 2024-19:42
Your period end of story statement that that was the way it was written originally. I am saying that’s not the case now, and he should be wearing something more exclusive than the Seamaster in the new films. No need to get bent out of shape. Wow, imagine ...
I am not bent out of shape…
By: myles721 : January 9th, 2024-19:45
It was you who said prove me wrong. I think I have more than made that case.
I don’t think you did.
By: @wewannaporsche : January 9th, 2024-19:46
Why was the latest Aston assigned to another 00? Lashana Lynch (the female 007 in the latest Bond flick, No Time to Die) also was assigned the Aston DBS Superleggera, a $330K car)). They are obviously selling style and exclusivity in those movies now. But...
They are too dressy
By: @wewannaporsche : January 9th, 2024-21:08
I think Bremont would be apropos but still prefer he wore a FF. More exclusive and stylish. Plus, since Q is already sourcing his watches from the Swatch Group as the approved vendor, he can easily just file the report to request the BP instead. 😆

Agree!
By: @wewannaporsche : January 9th, 2024-23:58
When he drove the Bimmer, the Omega was apropos! No longer though. And yes, the novels do say he wears a Rolex, but I’m not talking about the novels…just the most recent movies which show him driving those expensive Astons. 😁
You guys are correct in the references
By: @wewannaporsche : January 10th, 2024-13:34
To the original novels, but times have changed since the 50’s and the franchise now is product placing highly exclusive and stylish items (see my posts above) and so I’m saying that since they are doing this, they should update to a more fancy and exclusi...
