    Hey Everyone,
    Last night I went to my AD and picked up this beauty. The pictures aren't the best right now, but I'll clean them up later. After taking the pictures, it got me thinking... I don't think I will ever wear the extra included strap, and I know OB's want something like $250+ for the deployment clasp. Can I purchase a plan leather band and take the deployment clasp from the extra band?

    Nice pickup
    I think you might like that extra strap as the weather gets warmer. It gives that watch a very sporty look with a tshirt.

    I was going to go to the OB near my house and pick up a blue leather strap, and potentially the NATO one too

    Congratulations on the great looking 007! With all the anti magnetism protection, you'll no longer be forced to let bad guys get away in a foot chase if they hide inside an MRI machine*

    Wow great choice!!! I'm thinking about taking one of this LE, too. (This one, or a "SM 57" with the correct hour hand :))

    Please - just wondering if the second strap is waterproof; maybe your operating instructions tell that? Thx

    Looks good, concur on the strap thoughts, but plenty of time as we are moving into warmer weather.

    Congrats, Atomic! It's a spectacular watch. Mrs. Jones inevitably stops to oogle it when we're in the Omega Candy Store. I wish you many, many years of happy wearing :)

    I love the AT and I own one myself, but this is just sad. 15007 gauss ? Another timepiece made specifically for a made-up hero. We know he wears the Skyfall, a PO, the 2531.80 and 2220.80 and so on and that's the way it should be, those are all great generic models - but then they make a ridiculous timepiece like this one, with the "Bond family crest" and an awful "15007 gauss" label. I just wish Omega would treat themselves with a little more respect.
