Did James Bond Wear a Sub Mariner in All the Bond Movies?

Any other Bond nuts that know? If not, which ones did he wear a rolex in?

I don't think James Bond wore Rolex all the way... I believe there's one point he wore a Seiko.

Here's a good link.http://watchismo.blogspot.com/2006/1...history-q.html

I'm an Omega lover and Omegas are great watches by themselves but the recent movies of Bond wearing an Omega somehow makes Omega looks cheap. But that's just how I feel.

The GMT is from the first casino royale spoof with David Niven and Peter Sellers.

I believe Connery wore a sub in all of the movies except Diamonds are forever, where no watch is seen.

George Lazenby also wore a Submariner

Roger more wore a Submariner at least until the Man with the Golden Gun. He wore a Seiko digital (of varying sorts) from the Spy who Loved Me on.

Timothy Dalton wore a Submariner

Pierce Brosnan wore a Omega Seamaster (quartz in Goldeneye)

Daniel Craig wore both an Omega Seamaster and an Omega Planet Ocean.

I believe in Live and Let Die, James used the bezel of his sub to cut through some rope that was keeping him and Jane Seymour tied up, saving them from certain peril.

Yeah, here are some more infos about it:

Original sketch drawing of the 5513 "Live And Let Die" Sub:


From the book "The Rolex Report" (highly recommended!) by John E. Brozek:



Note that there was NO MOVEMENT INSIDE the 5513 Sub that Roger Moore wore in "Live And Let Die". It was a mere "dummy Rolex" sort of speak.

And here is a nice "Bond" link:
