But that is not my question for the watch experts! (and the rest of us) Which was the best James Bond watch and why? (OK two questions)

Rolex Sub 6538 because he wore it in Dr. No and it’s cooler than the Gruen.

Gold Finger. Best James Bond. Best Car. Best watch.

Spectre Seamaster 300

Casino Royale Planet Ocean

Did like the Camera watch Roger Moore had when I was a kid for obvious reasons 😅

Just saying. 😉

Live and let die magnetic submariner 👌

From what I remember of the books. Bond had a Rolex explorer ref 1016 inspired by Ian Fleming's Owen watch. Sadly never made it to a bond film 😞

·

Hamilton Pulsar goes in the mix here!

Ahh, such poor trigger discipline. Triggers me every time. 😂

Answer: Yes. James Bond wears any and all that has been issued/available to him.

·

Whatever brand that pays more.

The Rolex Submariner. All variants worn throughout the films. It kept with the books in that Ian Fleming wrote that Bond wore a Rolex. Not a Sub as I think the first Bond novel came out when the Submariner was about to be launched but some Oyster cased model. And the scene in Goldfinger with the Rolex cemented its iconic status. Oh, a 5513 with rotating saw bezel in Live and Let Die also did it for me. Can't beat that when you were watching the movie when you were a kid -reruns at the local cinema in the small town I was living in back in the 1980s.
