I VERY rarely wear a dinner suit, so for me that's a yes! (yet more bad news for my bank balance!)

looks to be a similar case to my B-Uhr steiny, and thats fine by me!

Cheers. My next trick will be capturing the blued hands without the shadow on the dial! :)

Someone else could probably photoshop them out.... but I haven't quite got that far with it. I have to rely on trying to get a decent picture out of the camera! :)

I would agree with downer that you could wear it with a suit - and I will. Although the strap is thick and the case is large (and thick!), the clean dial, seconds at six and the style of the strap all contribute to a dressy enough look.

I wouldn't wear it with a DJ, but then I use a pocket watch and don't wear a wrist watch on such occasions.

Now I think I will wear my Nomos with my DJ - seems a nice match and I don't wear a waist coat with mine.

Bond is now a bit like Doctor Who, each generation has their own one.

So who's your Bond, the original Rolex version up to The Living Daylights or the Omega version from Goldeneye onwards?

I reckon Bond is one character in fiction where the film version has completely superseded the literary original. As for which Bond, now I know we are watch lovers but we really can't judge this by the watch worn! :lol: :lol: :lol:
My personal favourites are Connery (of course) and Brosnan, and despite the amount of acclaim he has garnered in the role
I cannot stand Daniel Craig's version!! :zensur:
