Accie's fake Rolex.

[vickster]

Connery, Lazenby, Moore, Dalton and even Niven have all worn Rolex as Bond.

Yeah they’re all dead though?
Recently Bond hasn’t

I think that would be news to Timothy Dalton. Anyway, whatever watch the current Bond wears, and let's face it he wears whatever the sponsors decide, it's certainly the case that the character is associated with the Rolex brand.

If you say so… not for me

Its Omega.

Bond switched from Rolex to Omega in 1995.

He's also had Seiko and Tag Heuer amongst others. I think Fleming's Bond wore Rolex though.

Some mistake 'Bond' with his creator Ian Fleming. Rumour has it that 'James Bond''s favourite men's fragrance was Floris No 89, when in reality it was Fleming's favourite fragrance, not 'Bond's'.

Genuine question for you accy. If there are so hideous why is the Rolex Submariner still in high demand today, 67 years after its initial launch at Basel in 1954? Also why do so many homage (note NOT fake) versions of it exist?

Yes, i suppose they aren't too bad. I was thinking more of those 'blingy' (probably fake) ones. I'm not a watch fan, especially big face watches with chunky metal straps, as i have slim wrists.

I can't help thinking that Fleming had a tendency to mistake Bond with his creator Ian Fleming.

I hear a fake Rolex can enhance a spring and summer boating type striped blazer to make me stand out from the riff raff...

I can't think why this forum doesn't attract a younger membership. It's totally beyond me.

... but you'll need to consider the possibility of a mugger knifing you after mistaking your fake for a real one.

I can honestly say i've never seen a thread totally annexed on CC before. I mean from topic diversion to complete title take over... Impressive stuff.

I think @dodgy saw it coming, and IMHO quite a valid reason to abandon ship from CC.

I'll stick with my Smart watch. I even have to wear it with a protective cover as I smash all other watches. No point me having anything posh. Plus mine does sat nav.

 

[Drago]

A smart watch wont impress anyone, unless you're trying to pull a geeky chick like arol Vorderman

On reflection, I may newd acquire a smart watch!
