    You're correct, Caterina Murino was a Omega ambassador at the time of shooting CR... Well according to the manager at the London boutique.

    Most of the watches where store versions, there are a few different ones there from the actual films, mainly the ones that had flashing LED's in them.

    I've got more pictures of those on my SLR camera, I'll post some more pics over the weekend. All the above ones where from my iPhone.

    Thanks for the comments guys, nice to finally give something back to the community.

    Yep, I'll post the remaining pics over the weekend, there's more prop watches, bottle of Bollinger, prop bombs, first edition books... and a couple more bits.

    First thank for posting… -{

    1. Is that a FE GG ???
    2. Dammm tekst.. it is not a re-breather but a breather (is that SA ??? Peter please tell)
    3. The radio flute is not Tee Hees but Baron Samedis
  • texas007texas007 Houston, Texas 77041Posts: 2,356MI6 Agent
    that is the real GG prop that is always on tour and featured in many books.
    The stand is FE and also the bullet - I think

    Thanks Kan -{ … only as the stand clearly was FE thus the question
    The other comments was just some boring typos :))

    The breather is correct and from DAD, the bullet is also genuine -{

    I did a run down to the exhibition yesterday, and shot some photos and two short videos. Not wanting to steal MrEddy's thunder, I won't post any photos, as his are truly excellent, but here are the videos for you to get an idea of the feel of the exhibition. Please excuse the less than perfect production values, (- Mantis, I am not!), but the kind and enthusiastic staff at Omega had already furnished me with 2 glasses of champagne, to get me feeling Bondy, my camera ran out of memory half way through, and I could have done with another pair of hands to hold the camera, but you get the idea....

    very enjoyable -{ , thank you for taking the time to do it :)

    Nice videos, wish I'd though of doing that - I got caught up in the excitement of seeing all those Bond bits.

    No thunder to be stolen, we're all here for the same purpose.

    Good work!!! -{

    Looks like The Mantis has some competition with his podcasts :))

    Nice tour of the Omega exhibition - great for those of us unable to go ourselves.

    Omega Bond 50th props exhibit:
    Small point and there is always one "I'll get me coat" in the prop collecting community: The TWINE light up Omega Seamaster is NOT the screen seen prop, it is however the Omega promotional prop. Now before you all scream for my blood the screen seen prop has a break in the LED pattern at the bottom of the dial. The promo unit has a break in the LED pattern at the 3am/pm marker. This I would imagine was done so as to not obscure the Seamaster Professional Chronometer identification on screen...good old product placement!

    I smell a co-anchor ;)

    Very fun and thanks for doing!
  • The Bond VivantThe Bond Vivant SeendPosts: 1,347MI6 Agent
    Thanks for that :) It was a spur-of-the-moment decision, a giggle doing it, and the staff were fantastic. Here's hoping that Omega stores Stateside follow suit!
