Thats a very nice watch. I am a fan of Omega, but I was hoping Mr. Bond would see the light and return to Rolex.

Agreed. That DeVille looks too delicate and dressy for the rough and tumble work 007 does. He needs a 16610...a real man's watch!!

Not really! With the amount of travelling Bond does, he'd go bonkers trying to keep track of so many times zones!! The 16610 is the only way to go, pal!!

Hey C.J., they just invented this brand new thing, it is called www.google.com.

The nato strap is the velcro military strap that Bond wore his sub on mostly.

LMAO!! You made me wake up the dog LOL!!

The blue/grey I believe is the one of choice. I am not a fan personally, but I like the look. (on other people)

Seriously, guys would you stop insulting that superb looking watch with that atrocious strap. Gosh...that NATO strap is simply terrible and cheap looking. Sorry, don't mean to sound rude or insulting....it's just NOT in my nature, but to put that strap on a Rolex.....puhlleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease.....:bang head:

For JB who is an experience Diver, I think only the 16600 will do. Over-engineered like all of his Q branch toys

Seriously JJ, it is all personal preference. If a strap is not your flavor then fair enough, but because others may not like the same ole same ole every day that is there preference.

Why should it matter if they wish to wear (key word here) THEIR sub on a Nato, rubber strap, carbon strap or piece of string for that matter. Where what makes you happy, how it makes you happy, where it makes you happy and however it most makes you happy.
