Thread: James Bond’s watches!

  1. #1

    James Bond’s watches!

    I know this subject has been debated to an inch of its life! However James Bond Radio has released a 2 part podcast of James Bond’s Watches! First part is available and it’s Dr No to For your eyes only.

    https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas...=1000501273615

    Hope the link works.

    Be seeing you.

    Annoyingly clueless about the Tissot PR516 Seastar in 'Live and let die'.
    "Is it a Longines, a Hamilton?" Claim to search the internet for info, so un WIS-like...

    I’m a big fan of JBR but did chuckle when they mentioned the famous Rolex Seamaster!

    Sorry to be the barer of bad news but James Bond didn’t wear any watches, because he doesn’t exist, he is but a fictional character!

    Product placement at its best.

    Named after a real person, of course:

    though I'm not sure that we know which watches he wore ...

    We all know Fleming inaugurated his life into the books so I like to think of them as quasi-memoirs. That being said if there is an obligatory bond watch it's his Explorer 1016. Exhaustive to extoll but there you go.

    I've a pretty decent idea...
