Personally i think the 007...

 

Personally i think the 007 watches are made for people who dont know anything about watches, but want a secret agents watch on their wrist.

At least with military watch collecting, which is the only similarity i can think of at the moment, they were worn by people involved in life or death warfare so have a story behind them if we can find it.

One good news and couple of interesting footage of .... Earlier this month, the Seamaster Planet Ocean worn by Daniel Craig in SKYFALL has been sold for £157,250 at Christie's, in London, for the "50 years of James Bond: the auction". For more information...

Is very artificial. I grow up seeing Mr. Bond wearing a plethora of watches (Rolex, Seiko, Breitling that's the ones that I remember) and recently (Since the Seamaster Bond) Omega. On the books, Ian Fleming (if my memory is not failing) it was a Girard Pe...

Yes, Graham, if they really knew about watches and bought one, then I hope they would have enough generous friends or family available to sign the committal papers :) I think the Omega/Bond relationship from the Omega perspective is now a very ill-fitting... 

You really shouldnt hold back...
