The AT more comparable with the Explorer right..

Anyway the bond films are like a movie length advertisement... maybe the next reiteration Bond switch to Pam instead.

now its back to the DB5...same license plate as the original also.

plus bond has no insecurity issues...so has no need to wear a pam on his avg sized 7" wrists.
unlike midgets with 6" wrists wearing pam...if ur rocky then no issues la tongue.gif

but thats not the AT, its a deville hour vision.
i would guess the AT falls under the seamaster range cos of its 150m depth rating.

hi guys, i have a 13 year old tag heuer and its dials on the faceplate does not glow in the dark anymore. i've called tag and they told me that they will change the entire faceplate for a few hundred ringgit. are there any shops in klang valley that can just repaint on new luminance onto the faceplate without replacing it? thanks in advance!

not sure u can get it relume, but in many cases relume by someone not experience always results in uneven finish.
that is why Tag ask u to get a new dial.

Yup.. agree.

Legend has it that Ian Fleming based the 007 character on himself (he wears an Explorer) and during the filming of the first bond movie, Rolex cheapskate dun wanna sponsor watch so the producer lend his own Sub.... and the rest is history.

Now we have Omegas milking the 007 product placements with countless 1/gazillion "limited" editions. shakehead.gif

guys, anyone knows if there's a chance there are fake Mondaine watches out there? if yes how do I identify one? i'm meeting up with a seller in garage sales selling off a new unit Mondaine Night vision for a very low price without the box and manual.

anyone can please advice?
