Mistakes in Bond film

I've seen a few postings, both on this forum and on a 'Mistakes in Films' website, pointing out some continuity errors in Casino Royale specifically related to Bond's watch. In one scene for example, when he opens his laptop, he's wearing a Planet Ocean (I think), but by the time he's finished typing the email, he's wearing his Seamaster Pro.

Excluding the possibility that he just got bored of his PO mid-email and decided to switch to his SMP instead, do you think this was a deliberate ploy by Omega, knowing that the error would be picked up by lots of film geeks, leading to lots and lots of discussion and therefore free publicity for Omega?!

The more I think about it, the more I suspect some clever marketing dude at Omega snuck it in there on purpose!
