Well, your comment above is not really sticking to the subject. So if that would have been left out, I wouldn't have to comment on it.
BTW... There are a lot of watch collectors out there who like these watches and buys them for sheer fun. And there are a lot who don't like them... which are more right?
My above comment just proved that Omega (amongst others) always have been (and still are as Omega deliveres Planet Ocean watches to the SAS) closely linked to the British Military... but granted that you've served and know eveything, I guess your simple version is more truthful.
#facepalm
BTW... Do get just as pissed when you see Bond driving around in his Aston Martins, when Fleming actually portrayed him as driving Bentley?
PPS: the discussion started on Peterkaa linking to a story about a watch from the Bond film being donate for a good cause and the question on the Bond vilian watches... but who took this debate in the wrong direction?

Jeg kom i en anden tråd til at disse Omegaerne for deres Bond-image (bortset fra Sean C.).
Men hvad bar skurkene egentlig? Jeg ku' købe et af dem.
... altså ikke lige Jesper C.'s til 90 k. Men mere generelt: Skurkenes mærker og modeller
I øvrigt Gert...
Som et lidt sjovt indslag til din forespørgsel om skurke-urene:

Mvh. John
AAh ja. 36 mm er selv 1016 versionen. Jeg kan kun huske at jeg gik med et i 2 dage og synes det var radsom lille. Men havde sjovt nok model 17013 selv på 36 mm og se syns den var større. Måske var 1016 jeg gik med poleret en del mindre. Hvem ved ?

Det er også interessant, at der var tale om ure med faste remstifter.
Og her er det så, at NATO-remmen kommer ind i billedet.
Også specificeret af det engelske forsvar.
De originale Phoenix NATO-remme fås stadig til 12 Pund. Næh, de er lige steget til 13,5 Pund hos Monkeyswag.

Peterkaa called it the real Bond watch.And i was not the only one who took issue with this description.I worked together with SAS Issing  In Malaysia we were trying to stop terrorists sent from Indonesia.Google this if you like.And because i have served does not mean i know everything,that is a stupid comment to make.Your knowledge about the type of watches we used is just second hand.We used to sit in bars in Borneo and throw our Subs at the walls,just to see how tough they really were.Rolex are a legend for British military personal in a way that no other watch comes close to.Since this time they have used many brands watches,but none of them reached the hights of Rolex.What you and others who believe all the marketing junk is irrelevant to me.Same kind of people who think Rocky balboa is a great film about boxing,and that soldiers like Stallone portrays in his films are real.Marketing is a wonderfull thing,when a second rate actor could revive a forgotten brand like Panerai.People however tend to forget that all of the original Pam watches were built by Rolex 
You are just falling into the same old marketing bullshit,that has absolutly nothing to do with reallity.The debate about Rolex verses Omega has been raging for years and years.I think it is a bit of a joke.Both are in their way great brands,who have given a lot to watchmaking.But only a Omega fanatic would dare to argue that they make a more reliable watch than Rolex,or that they have the right to call their watches genuine or real Bond watches.It would be more truthfull to call them Bond film watches.Just like IWC is a Top Gun film watch.I just have something against people who try to rewrite history,to fit their marketing plans.Ever seen a film called Wag The Dog?
Ps. I am now going on a fishing Holiday so you can get my answer to your next comment in three weeks time.

I wasn't trying to take this into an Omega vs. Rolex debate, as you clearly have done.
I was mere trying to say that in regards to British Military, other reliable brands have also delivered watches to them. I think 110.000 pcs. delivered during WW2 is quite a significant number of watches, which I'm sure the British Military wouldn't have ordered if they didn't believe these watches were of good quality.
I'm not an Omega fanatic, I juet tend to believe there are other sides to the truth than the one you are portraying.
BTW... if you want to go in the direction of this battle of O vs. R I seem to remember a significant Rolex chronograph failing all the Nasa tests and some other famous chronograph being used in space instead, but that's completely off topic and that can be continued on another occasion...
I don't know you Willy, but from reading your threads and comments for the past many years, it seems you have a lot on your mind, and at the same time you're a person who are the last man standing in the argument/discussion even after everyone else has left the room... ease up and enjoy the watches.
Even if watch bloggers are the worst scum on earth and all watch brands are talking marketing mumbo jumbo in order to sell more watches to please stakeholders, then fear not, the world is not coming to an end just yet.
