I really like the look of the SMP and would love to get one. Everybody refers to the 2220.80 and similar as the James Bond watch because of Pierce Brosnan. I really don't like Pierce Brosnan, so the idea of that watch bugs me. I also don't like the skeleton hands. Besides, I've got the Casino Royale PO which to me is the James Bond watch. I loved Daniel Craig as Bond. It doesn't seem to make sense now to buy an Omega without co axial. Titanium seems to tinny. There are some gorgeous pictures of SMPs on the Omega Members Gallery thread #21 and #39 but I dont know which of those are available now or if or any like them have co axial. What do you think? BTW, I love being able to do a thread like this and get great opinions and knowledge.

Check out the Planet Oceans, they are going to be the closest to the SMP's with the Co-Ax movement.

The SMP 2254.50 (black dial and bezel, and on my wrist right now I might add) has been discontinued and will probably be replaced with something with the Co-Axial movement.

well, Mr Beck since you have the Casino Royale... that qualifies as a P.O. and Co-Axil.. hmmm.

if you prefer to stay with the Co-Axil I might suggest when/if the new model 2254.50 is introduced that may be the perfect fit for you.
I know I'm waiting not very patiently for it'd debut:thumbup1:

Hi Mr Beck,

Just thought I'd throw something else into the mix: Have you considered the SeaMaster Aqua Terra with the Co-Axial movement?

You already have a true divers watch. So, how about a watch that is just as happy being a dress watch as it is a utilitarian timepiece with a 150m water restistancy, date function and 42.2mm diameter.

I think one of these would compliment your PO perfectly:

I've seen pictures of the Aqua Terra with a white dial and blue hands that looks gorgeous.

I have recently very much entertained the idea of a 42mm AT black dial 2502.50, just beautiful.. they are out of production but a few left around.

I've seen another memebers (Donnyb's) white dial / blue hand Speedy and pictures do not capture how beautiful that watch is so the white/blue combo is fantastic:thumbup1:
