Makes sense as he is wearing watch with metal strap in the London boat scene (after Mexico PTS) Appears he switches to the SMP with Nato later on in the film (bit like Skyfall) when he leaves London
And back on thread, if anyone has an Omega dealer in the UK nearby, that happen to have a NATO in stock, can someone pick me up a Nato 21-22mm (Ref 031szs002053)...
If not I'm off on a 100 mile round trip !!!
M
No need now.
Apparently the SM300 needs the 19-20mm NATO and not the 21-22mm I thought it took and that would fit my CR PO in the meantime. So not going to buy one for now as was only putting it on my PO short term, want to keep it CR accurate long term...
Going to hang on and see what Omega do with the SM300 nearer the release date. NATO's are not a ltd ed so should still be available then.
I've been saving up for the Aqua Terra ever since Omega released its pictures for SPECTRE. Shouldn't be too much longer now till its sitting comfortably on my wrist.
"Now pay attention double O seven..." - Q. Words I think we should all live by.
Just bear in mind that the AT is yet to be confirmed for Spectre and screen shots thus far have not proved conclusive. It will more than likely be the Gauss version. Especially as Omega are releasing a special Bond edition of this watch. -{

I'll measure my SM300 when I get home but I am 99.9% positive it has the 21-22mm version on it. I originally bought the strap to go on my PO and the lady who served me ensured me it would fit both.

That would be really helpful ! The Omega boutique (Ash) on Regent St convinced me otherwise this morning... Yes I need the 21-22 for the PO but this would be too big on the new SM300... Not going to buy a strap that I cant use just in case so put off ordering it. Annoying as had a friend all lined up to pick up and post to me. Wanting to do the same as you and fit it to my CR PO (45mm) until I knew what was happening re Omega and SP NATO SM300. If nothing official then would buy the SM300 and add the strap and put my CR PO back to standard.

It is the same strap mate. My PO is a 45mm on Rubber and the strap is 21mm. The Nato I have is 21.5 (ish) and fits the new SM300 it is on perfect.

Fab, many thanks for checking for me, really appreciated.. Dont you feel that too often we know better than the so called store experts ???
The new SM300 has the digits 21 in its reference number, which to me denotes the steap width... Apparently not according to Ash in Regents Street Omegs boutique !!!
Going to pop to my local Omega dealer and order it tomoro. At least I can measure both my PO and SM300 next to each other there ! Then just have the wait for it to come in 8-)

The stores receive very little training. I was the sole source of in-store training for Rolex in the UK for ten years. There is no priority given to training staff. In 2009, it was deemed by even Rolex, that training was second to brand policy adherence. In short, do your own research because stores don't train too much. The only stores I found that trained their staff to an exceptional level was Wempe.

Like a lot of other stores I guess. Shame though they dont share a passion for their brand. My Management motto has always been to know everything.... Good for credibility with own team let alone customers.

Retail is a cut throat environment now. Not many staff stick it long term anymore, so training new staff constantly isn't viable or cost effective. It's more about sales and psycho analysing the customer than giving them a human experience. It's all about harrassing the customer with 'how can I help you' and 'how are you today', than letting the customer approach you with their needs. The modern sales assistant is all about robotic corporate spiel than 'real' personal service. It's one of the reasons I gladly left and decided to study venomous snakes. It's quite similar to the corporate world except snakes don't give you BS before they strike.

Many high-end retail stores in New York where I live have knowledgeable employees, but it seems like less than there used to be. I went into the Billy Reid store in New York and was greeted by a stoned salesman who made an offensive remark to me (in assuming I was or wasn't from a certain background). His tremendous enthusiasm for the brand didn't make up for the way he presented himself. As nice as the peacoat is, I will never bring myself to step foot in that store again. But it is comforting to return to a store time after time and see the same employees, who usually have the experience to know what they are selling, though sometimes they don't. Most of the time when I shop I make sure I know what I want and use salespeople to show me where the item I want is since I hope they know how things are arranged. It's sad to hear that such a high-end brand like Rolex doesn't even care about helping customers. The best shops are the smaller ones where it's likely the owner is the salesperson as well. I've been in some jewellery shops like that and they have the best experience.

Rolex has never trained the staff in stores en masse. This is mostly due to the multi chain stores just sending higher management and directors to swanky events who are supposed to pass down the training to their staff. Sadly this doesn't happen. It's only the small agents that have one or two stores nationally or internationally that pass down the training and try to retain loyal staff. In the UK, Wempe is the best, followed by Rudells. The multi chains like Mappin and Webb, Goldsmiths and Watches of Switzerland, which are the group that owns the Rolex boutique in Bond St, couldn't care less. The thing I complained about most was the use of incorrect screwdrivers to adjust bracelets. They used to mess up the screw heads beyond belief. It wound me up no end.

This is pretty much the case with people (but not all people) in all industries. Higher management doesn't want the people below them to gain the knowledge to advance higher than them. Knowledge is power.

Bit different in my world, well was before I left, I'm a highly skilled coach now due to the amount of it I did with my Managers and team. Seeibg people develop, grow, be promoted or even leave (for better jobs) was the greatest pleasure I ever got from my job !
Anyway, sorry for diverting this thread for a few posts. And great posts gents !
The Aqua Terra wears big, so it's no surprise that it looks huge, in the full size. It would have been nice for the sake of continuity that it was the 38mm size, but continuity be damed when Omega wants to push yet another identical watch which is just a little larger with a different engine.

DC appears to be wearing a watch with a metal bracelet rather than a NATO strap. There are more pictures in the main SPECTRE thread.
Yeah, you can just see a metal strap peeping out from under his cuff in one of the Mexico photos (the one where he climbs out on the balcony).
No need now.

I have blown the pic up and its hard to tell, but does look like the date is there, just not the day. Again just like the Skyfall Aqua Terra
In my opinion Craig feels better Aqua terra Skyfall.
I am kind of thinking about it but dont know if the 41MM is a good look for the dressier watches.
Thoughts?
