My Christmas Omega
I finally unwrapped the Omega that my wife got me for Christmas. She also enjoyed the Canon Digital Elph that I got her plus a necklace with some diamonds on it... can't go wrong with those for the spouses :-)
Had fun time with her family and mine, and just took it all in. Here are photos of my Omega SMP "bond" and loving every minute of it. Loving that wave dial!

Nice Seamaster, Vernon. Congrats! It bears a strong resemblance to "you-know-what", doesn't it!

Sounds like you got your Omega from a great Amiga. :)
And is it me or does that look like a subtle-Tough-Strong watch? |

Congrats, Vernon. A classic which was first introduced in the Bond film "Golden Eye". A watch which actually revived OMEGA from a bit of a slump, a watch which is an icon and one which will probably never go out of style!!
Wear it in good health, pal. Cheers - JJ

Vernon,
Congrats my friend! From the packaging and lengthy manual to the blue wave pattern and so sleek skeleton hands the SMP bond is a real beauty... now all you need is a nice matching chrono version as well! Let's see how long you keep it on with out switching to your Sub or Avenger!
