This is the watch that was in Spectre just not the Spectre Limited Edition with lolipop chronometer

So not used in SPECTRE then. They only used the version with the lollipop hands during the production.

I've never been convinced of this, my reason being during the photo shoot in Rome DC is wearing a standard version with arrow second hand on a grey/black nato. I've always thought both were worn during filming.

If he was wearing a standard version in the photocall, it's probably because he wouldn't be allowed to wear a screen-used prop off the set? But I'd defer to Asp on this one... -{

Why wouldn't he be allowed to wear the le watch offset? It extra marketing. I just can't see DC putting his personal watch on the same strap as his screen used one, then being forced by the costume department to take it off.
It's more likely omega hadn't made the limited edition Watches yet and they used the existing model, then used the le for the later close ups etc.

I tend to agree with what Asp9mm said.

We have Nerds here, but the common 007 fan would want to see the lollipop hand on the Spectre Omega.

I don't recall if the photocall pics clearly show the Standard (non-Lollipop) hand or if it's only a speculation.
A photoshoot is a photoshoot - things change on the way to the final product.

You can see the watch here, Higgins - http://www.impulsegamer.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/SPECTRE_RomePhotoCall05_rgb.jpg

He wouldn't be allowed to wear a screen-used prop off set because it would be a costly and time consuming expense to deal with it being lost or damaged, and he's a professional who knows better, is my guess.

Chriscoop

) how funny, I never thought a watch was at such risk going out to dinner, but not so much on a stuntmans wrist.
I totally agree asp is correct that the op is mistaken but I'm still of the opinion the standard one could have been used, when did omega announce the le with actual photos?

Agreed, you do need the lollipop second hand, I'm simply saying it's not beyond reasonable doubt that the standard issue was used early on in filming.
At this juncture I'm expecting someone with "personal on set knowledge" to dispel this, i have both versions so have nothing to gain other than a decent discussion

Asp9mm

I've had it from a few sources that the non LE was most certainly NOT ever used on set. This comes from several production people and Omega. It was very important that the watch designed specifically for the movie was the only one seen on set/screen and it was very tightly controlled by continuity and the propmasters. DC was not allowed to wear the prop off screen for obvious reasons, but had both a vintage and regular edition given to him by Omega which he wore occasionally off set, and was seen in the off set pictures we all have seen published and led to the original confusion.

Production of the LE Omega began as soon as the design was finalised by production and 'Locked In'. There would be no way Omega could produce that amount of watches before the film was released without beginning production on themwell before SP started shooting. The design was finalised and Omega also supplied the screen used watches well before filming began. It was something they started working on back in early 2014.

He wouldn't of worn the LE at the SPECTRE photocalls as it would have let the cat out of the bag and ruined Omegas eventual marketing campaign for the watch which of course came a lot later

Asp9mm

Also there are zero shots of him in costume with the non LE watch and there aren't any on the BR disc either. HD is a great thing and just watching the film dispels the myth for all those that don't believe Omega/production people.

Costume and props are controlled much more than they used to be in regards to continuity, and due to the importance of that particular watch, there is no way the costume people or propmasters or continuity people or director or even DC himself would allow the regular watch to be left on his wrist. DC takes the character very very seriously and relies on the props and costumes to make him feel the part. He even wears the PPK and holster in all the scenes where you don't even see it. Donk will attest to this. So the watch slip just wouldn't happen.

DC has several Rolex Subs, including a vintage 6538 on NATO straps. Including the screen accurate GF strap.

The reasons he was'nt allowed to wear them off set are numerous.


* They are props and props aren't allowed off set by the talent, whoever they are

* Omega marketing didn't want the watch released before the official announcement, too much time and money went into the project for that to happen. Also the reason why the non LE being on set would not happen.

* The watches seen on screen were prototypes, loss damage or any risk of them not getting back to the set when filming began would not be an option. That would be an expensive mistake and a few jobs would be lost.

* Why would the above points be ignored just for a photoshoot, when the rest of his clothes were not Bond costume anyway.

The evidence against the non LE being used on set is airtight. It's a nice thought for those who have the non LE to think it might have been used on screen, but there are too many barriers in the way for that to have been possible. It was just far too important for Omega, EON, Continuity, DC, Costumes, Props and the Director for the specially created prop to be seen on screen at all times. For the regular version to make it accidentally onto the set and then no one at all noticing would take some pretty serious neglect by too many people at the same time. It would also mean that the Omega he was meant to be using being in limbo on set somewhere without anyone noticing it was missing. That would be pretty slack. Pretty impossibly slack. If that kind of thing happened, they'd be losing watches left right and centre.

Yeah... sorry ;%

That's pretty conclusive then
There you go sriram858 you can't say this is watch worn in spectre but you can say it's the watch worn by DC himself in his personal time during filming of spectre -{

I think it only wise to get 100% clarification on this by asking Mr Deaton. ) {:)

Guys I meant that I have the Vintage SM300 that DC wore in the photocall (That is a different watch than the watch for sale).... the watch for sale is the non-spectre version as stated in the original message.... I meant that I don't wear the watch that is why it is up for sale....

If anyone is interested in the watch and not talking about all the other stuff stated above, please respond on this thread or PM me or email me at SriramS20@gmail.com

Thanks

Now you've pi..d him off -idiot!

texas007

why don't you just post a picture of what you are selling and make it clear - if that is too difficult - packing and mailing the watch is a lot harder in my opinion - if you can't even take a picture - forget about mailing it.
