In fact, Ben wore it to the Skyfall pre-screening he attended yesterday (chauffeured in new Jag XJ, no less, courtesy of Omega).

I'll be wearing my Rolex. :bird:

I still prefer a vintage ploprof or sm1000.

But that is a beauty!

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong

That's beautiful, Mike, but honestly I never bonded with the SM300. This 120, though... Wow.

actually it hits all of the right notes except for no date. I have to say it is a all around great watch and worth the price of admission. :salute: and I haven't said that about many watches. :thumbsup:
