This is a higher-res version of the Empire pic. The color of the watch is a little more pronounced here.
Are you then all considering this to be same watch as in the earlier photos from Jamaica and London, may I ask?
Best regards,

Yes it’s the same watch. Can’t tell from that picture if it’s a stunt or not. The stunts in this film are far better and more realistic than in previous films, and quite hard to tell apart. The stunt used in the upcoming The Kings Man is amazing, 3D printed metal with real plexiglas and hands. Not sure if they used the same technique with Bonds watch, as I’ve only seen a hero and rubber stunt to date.

Apologies wasn't sure if we had a thread for this ?
My spectre 300 sm has now stopped working since Ive not worn it for a day and didn't use the winder
I've winded it but its not going , stops after 30 secs roughly
Do i need it serviced or just give it a few days and try again or is there anything else I can do ?
It's 4 years old exactly so seems not great.
Just want some advice from you experts , cheers
Hope you can help
I know it's brown and won't be to everyone's taste but I think this watch will look pretty cool and I would consider purchasing were it priced more sensibly and not (I'm guessing) £8K! You could get a new Seamaster and Speedy for that.
I remember the Goldeneye watch being available for £850 in 1995. I know we're comparing different spec, quality, inflation etc. but Omega have just whacked up their prices so high now, these watches are just unobtainable (for me anyway). And, even if a rich dear old Aunt insisted on buying me one, I would ask politely for a Submariner and £2K towards a nice holiday..!
I love my Planet Ocean and enjoy wearing it without worrying excessively about damage or loss, but I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing £8K on my wrist. I know that's what we have insurance for, but still..

I’d give it about 20 full rotations on position 1 of the crown to wind it properly then a few shakes. If it stops, consider taking it to a watchmaker. If this is the first time it’s been flat, that’s odd. Should be able to see the barrels turn through the case back whilst you wind it up.

I'm no expert but I'm not sure a "few shakes" should be welcomed. Automatic movements are really delicate with tiny pieces. A good winding is better a shake....I guess !!

If after 40 winds It’s not working you have a problem. Needs servicing.

Shaking it won’t harm it. They aren’t that delicate. They’re quite tough.

The reason I bring up shaking is because I’ve had a watch where the hand wind has stopped working. Shaking to increase the power reserve would prove whether this is the case on his omega. It’s normally on a watch winder according to this man. You could diagnose the problem that way before taking it to a specialist.
As for “shaking not being welcomed” There are £50 Seiko 5’s out there with no winding feature that rely on shaking when the power reserves are depleted and they cope fine. Costing 100x more, if the omega can’t deal with a light shake to spin the rotor then it’s a fake. A bad fake. I’ve seen omegas drop from a two story balcony when a spring bar has failed and they’ve kept perfect accuracy. These are tools. The price and marketing just makes people scared of using them as intended.

thanks for all the advice guys, fortunately still in its 4 year warranty so hopefully the jeweller where i got it from will get it sorted.
As long as a don't get a massive bill as that particular problem is not covered
If you ever read an interview with Cavill, it’s obvious that he genuinely cares about the characters that he plays, and he does his homework to understand their history. He also takes care of himself all of the time, not just when he’s prepping for a film. As a result, he would have the chance to be convincing well into his 50s. He’s not a great actor, but if we’re being honest only Connery and Dalton are better among those who have played Bond. EON could do far worse.

It’s more than acting with Bond though. You need to have screen presence and charisma. HC is unfortunately devoid of both on screen and is exceptionally wooden. I like the fella, but he couldn’t do Bond.

Daniel Craig is now on his fifth Bond film, proving that you need neither screen presence nor charisma to play Bond.
But Cavill is indeed wooden, on a level we've never seen before with Bond. He has no chance of getting the role, so I'm not worried.
Let’s not leave Mr Cavill just yet...
He appears to be wearing the 43.5mm Ceramic/Titanium No-Date Seamaster (nice!) which retails at £6.5K. If the NTTD Watch is a variation of this model this would indicate a price point around £7K???

Omega will whack more than a £500 Bond premium on it I think..

Babs doesn't go for posers
Ha ha that photo reminds me of
His mummy dressed him like that for school pictures, so it doesn't count.
100%, no subtlety, good luck to him, I think he'd will be great
