It's the best watch out there. The new Seamaster that Brosnan's Bond so gladly sports. Does anyone desperately want to own this watch? Is anyone lucky enough to own it???

I doubt it... But these are the closest "cheap" watches I've seen to the omega series. I guess they can't be too similar though.

Thanks for that James!! They do have a very Bond feel to them. Can you get it with a blue bezel?

Yeah,. I would love one of those watches too, but I ain't got the money!

Instead I went out and found a Sekonda watch that looks vary,very similar. Looks great, and only cost a fraction of the price =)

It's a Sekonda Chronograph bezel watch, 50M... You can get it in the UK from Argos (catalogue shop

It's cheap, but looks like it's worth alot more than it is to the average nobody. I've had mine for 2 years and they're still going fine. The pictures doesn't really do them much justice though.

Hell YES!!!! Even though I'm a girl and it would be too chunky to wear, I'd love to have one!!!

To date, I have 13 watches!!! (I hate not knowing the time). I woudn't mind another one.

Seamaster? Isn't there a Seamaster Speargun on the TWINE N64 game?? Takes a bloody long time to load......

Actually NJ they make a female version. A shop near me sells both of them. It's practically identical it's just toned down!

I'll see if I can get a picture!
