Received an invitation from the LA Omega boutique for their Bond event . . .
. . . Friday last.
Guests were suggested to wear Bond outfits and fulfill fantasies of James gambling at casinos.
Naturally I went as myself and declined offers to play blackjack or roulette. Now, if they had a snooker table . . .
How could I visit the boutique and not take photos of Omega's latest offerings?
Choosing between these three would be like choosing between these . . .
. . . angels.

questions!
1) what did you think of the ploprof in person? our little boutique in scottsdale has yet to get one -- a "C" boutique, and it often does not get models, especially the pricey ones, unless someone has prepaid bought/ordered one and you are lucky enough to...
Favorably impressed by the blue Ploprof; unfortunately there wasn't time . . .
. . . to try it on. Another dive watch would be superfluous for my collection, so no thought of getting another except maybe for a vintage Super Kontiki. Also liked the 9 kt 859, but my collection is replete with vintage gold Omegas, so not compelling eno...
that bronze/gold annual calender is very nice, but how compact is compact? 39, 41 or 42 mm case?
besides my father's omega constellations (mechanical from late 50's steel/gold and quartz from 80's also steel gold, which i do not wear but are sentimentally meaningful to me, I only have a 2014 steel seamaster master coaxial, the original master coaxial...
The compact AT annuals are 38.5 mm if memory serves . . .
. . . correct, and over 13 mm thick. Here's my wrist shot taken eleven years ago . . . . . . of the yellow gold model. The version I would've gone for is the two-tone red gold and steel model on a strap, which listed for ~ $13K. Art ...
Here’s a wrist shot of the PloProf:
I would love it if they would release it with a black dial.🤞 ...
You've heard the joke about the executive who had to choose . . .
