I'm thinking of getting one but can't tell which size is worn in the movie.
Does anyone know for certain?

Yep, 45mm...
2900.50.91
The other watch he wears in CR is the 41mm (Full Size) Seamaster Model 2220.80
Both my absolute favourite pieces in my Bond collection. :v
Note, the Limited Edition (with '007' second hand) is not worn in CR.
He wouldn't be much of a secret agent if he's wearing a watch with his code name on it xD
Dear Sir
Thank you for your enquiry. In both films the 45.5mm model was used, in Casino Royale Daniel Craig wore model 2900.50.91 on strap and in Quantum of Solace he wore model 2200.50.00 on bracelet.

I believe this to be a simple case of mis-information. The proof is in the pudding and the pudding will be served later this month when the QOS DVD and BlueRay discs are released later this month. The 45.5 was featured in Casino Royale with the rubber strap but the watch featured in QOS was the 42 on the metal bracelet. Mark my words this is DEFINITE.
I ask those who purchase the BlueRay discs to bear this out for me. I am 100% certain this is the case. The QOS watch is visibly smaller than the CR PO and it has a coin bezel edge as opposed to the wave pattern featured on the 45.5. This was plainly evident on all photos I saw and when I saw the movie at the theater.
I've said this all along and I stand by it. Waiting for those BlueRay discs fellas.

The 45.5 mm info was regarding CASINO ROYALE. This thread is from 2006!!
In QoS it's the 42 mm and here is a broad discussion with 20 pages:

(and I love Asp9mm being wrong with the SMP
And here is Omegas confirmation:

2201.50.00 = 42 mm

Dear M.H.
Thank you for your email, unfortunately we do not have internet and so I have been unable to open the link. However after further investiagtion into the matter it does appear that the watch in fact is model 2201.50.00 and I was originally misinformed.
Kind regards from England.

42mm on bracelet
NOT 45mm for both!

My personal preference is the 45.5 on the rubber strap. I only have 7 inch wrists so I wasn't sure I could pull off the 45.5. The first time I tried it was on the stainless steel bracelet and it did seem too big. However when I finally found it with the rubber strap it had a whole different fit and I had to have it.
It's funny because the face of the 42 seems to be better balanced than its big brother but I don't like the coin edge on the 42. However, the wave pattern on the 45.5 is a work of art.
I think they chose the 42mm version for QOS because the smaller version would look better with a suit.
Remember that when we saw the 45.5 in CR on the rubber strap it was in a utilitarian fashion in the field. You certainly couldn't have Bond where a rubber strap with his suit or tux.
Perhaps this should have been the start of a whole new spin off thread but which one do you prefer and why?

Interesting point of view, why is that?
Well, I think it has to do with Daniel Craig's portrayal as Bond. It's the same thing for Connery, I think it was his portrayal as Bond that made us want his watch. In CR Daniel Craig burst on the scene in a new and different way as Bond. DC made Bond his own and the big PO was a part of that. The big PO on the rubber strap looked as rugged as DC's Bond was.

Plus, you can swap out the bracelet for the rubber strap if you so desire.

I did'nt know that...thanks for the tip.
You're welcome. Although the Omega PO rubber strap is not cheap, it's a lot cheaper than buying a whole new PO. Invest in a spring pin removal tool and you can sport the CR or QOS look at will.

Try here:

There is more than one type, plus other tools. Ebay should have them too. A spring bar removal tool should work wth any watch.

Well, if you love your watch without scratches and hear to someone, who has been replacing spring pins for years, go for a good remover with a fine end and a wide end like this:

Screwdrivers are usually used by the boutique ladies, who have no idea about tools and watchmaking
I think, that Flume does also exist in the US. {[]

Actually those are pretty nice, the grooves would definitely make it easier. Good find!
