You couldn't make this up.
Was in an AD today looking for the new PO when a guy came in asking about an Omega he had seen that glowed bright blue with lights in, the AD explained that Omega didn't make a watch like that. The guy was adament they did and had seen it the night before, the AD asked where and he said it was in a film and a man ended up in a ball in the snow and turned the lights on in the watch. Being a bit of a Bond and Omega fan I realised he was talking about the scene in The World is Not Enough. I told the AD what the man was on about and explained to the man it was from a Bond film and not real, he said it was real as he had seen it in the film and wanted one. The AD explained again that it was not real and only a prop from a film and never made for sale, but this is the best bit he turned round and told the AD if he couldn't get it he would got to another Omega dealer. Some people never listen and never belive I suppose thats what makes the world go round.

I was going to try and ask the same question at the Omega Boutique in NYC. I couldn't pull it off because I was already laughing just thinking about it :).
