I agree about the tacky Bond tie-ins but love the looks of the "Bond"
Seamaster Pro, especially the bracelet and blue dial face with subtle
wave pattern. Of course the Moonwatch is a bit commercial, too, even
if was the first watch worn on the Moon. I marvel at the quality, feel
and appearance of Omegas -- much like that of Leicas (to stay somewhat
on topic).
