Not only are there a lot of "unknown" James Bond watches, but also a lot of people to whom it would never occur to think there were unknowns. "The 'Dr. No' watch," for example, turns out to be a stumbling block, because the all-but exclusive focus on Bond's first on-the-big-screen Rolex Submariner misses the fact that the first watch he's actually seen wearing on that screen couldn't possibly be a Sub! (It's what I call "The Sylvia Trench watch.") That thought-bias continues to "You Only Live Twice," where it would appear that actually watching the movies wasn't felt a necessity before simply assuming that Agent 007 wears a Rolex Submariner in that one. (Note: He does not.) Yeah, my interest is in James Bond watches--. That's not for everyone, I know. But the attention to detail, the interest in getting it "right," well, I think that applies to whatever one's passion and interest. So I'm overjoyed to find common ground, even if only on the fringes. Besides, if you truly enjoy the persuit, as I do, why cut it short? That's why we're here!

Not only are there a lot of “unknown” James Bond watches, but also a lot of people to whom it would never occur to think there were unknowns. “The ‘Dr. No’ watch,” for example, turns out to be a stumbling block, because the all-but exclusive focus on Bond’s first on-the-big-screen Rolex Submariner misses the fact that the first watch he’s actually seen wearing on that screen couldn’t possibly be a Sub! (It’s what I call “The Sylvia Trench watch.”)

That thought-bias continues to “You Only Live Twice,” where it would appear that actually watching the movies wasn’t felt a necessity before simply assuming that Agent 007 wears a Rolex Submariner in that one. (Note: He does not.)

Yeah, my interest is in James Bond watches–. That’s not for everyone, I know. But the attention to detail, the interest in getting it “right,” well, I think that applies to whatever one’s passion and interest. So I’m overjoyed to find common ground, even if only on the fringes. Besides, if you truly enjoy the persuit, as I do, why cut it short?

That’s why we’re here!
