I always wear my $2500 watch when I go swimming. Because if you can afford one, you can also likely afford to not care.



Being able to wear it in the water is part of what you pay the $2500 for ;-)


Exactly, the thing goes 600m under without cracking (no pun intended). lol

Omega PO then, good for me and my pocket. Lunatic. ;)

Now I'll be disappointed if there isn't a 'mind the gap' quip.

Damn, now I´m ashamed I came up with that punchline. I´m sorry I had a crack at it (sorry, can´t help it)

As if the "Cowboys & Aliens" poster wasn´t enough...


Um, is that really the first promotional photo? Who would have though James Bond would give "International Swimsuits" a tie-in priority?

Am I the only one that miss the old days?

In those days Bond´s body wasn´t the main atraction. Yeah, he was fit and had muscles, but the photos we were expecting were of the incredible Bond girls or the terrific stunts... Frankly, I prefer the clapper photos to this...

A little sexist, misogynist dinosaur? yes, that was Bond, James Bond.

This image is like giving crappy drugs to a lifetime addict. While they're great for the new kids and high-schoolers, it doesn't even give me the smallest high.

It's an early promotional internet photo. It's not really supposed to. That's the film's job.

I have to agree. Very disappointing for the first official photo released for the film. I still think we're in store for a very good film this time around, but I can't help but be disappointed that they chose to go with this as the first official photo.

Don't mistake my comment for disappointment. I fully understand we're in January of 2012, not August or September. It's a nice picture but I'll forget about it after lunch.

This is moments before he goes to the changing rooms to find a young Pierce Brosnan and his shower room affections have an ulterior motive.

I hope he fares better than Belloq did, or this is going to be a really short film...

It´s not even a nice picture, I must say. It´s a bloke sitting at an empty pool. There is nothing that would suggest a James Bond film. Only if you think "Oooh, he´s wearing the Casino Royale trunks!"

Empire must have gotten that picture after begging so annoyingly to get an exclusive that EON thought "hey, give ´em this one" and had a great laugh about it.

Great work on the gym ,Mr Craig, but I would prefer that your body wasn't the preview of Skyfall that EON has served us .

Well I mean...what were you guys expecting? Mendes is keeping this film on lockdown. I knew if any official pics were to be released, they probably would be taken from scenes that have already leaked to the press. We aren't going to know ANYTHING about this one for a while. Maybe another pic or two, but that's about it. This film is dark.

Great photo. Very LOST IN TRANSLATION-ish, which I suspect was precisely the vibe that they were going for. I approve.

When "they" said this one would go deep and dark, I wasn't expecting them to be referring to Mr Craig's tunnel of love.

I didn't realise Bond needed a beard, being terribly straight and all that :-)

But on a serious note, it's a very good picture - stunning even. And no doubt great publicity - this picture will be carried. But I can't help but think: When did Bond turn into Schwarzenegger?

Is it the PO? It's kind of hard to make out. Pretty certain there's no bracelet, though, which could mean the new blue titanium model with the blue strap.
