I don't get it. Why would anyone buying a new Sub try to connect it to James Bond. In the movie it's a 5512 later a Sub Date. How does this connect to the new Subs?

dddrees · 16 January 2013, 12:54 PM

Because girls like Bond, and guys want to be James Bond.

No big secret, this kind of thing happens all the time.

And as you mentioned: James Bond wore a sub.

Oh no.... err.... Dr. No......

dddrees · 16 January 2013, 01:00 PM

It's an association that was a big hit when it first took place, and it just stuck no matter what's taken place for the last 50 years or so.

Who cares?

It sounds cool.

Why not?

I thought of getting a Submariner and look like James Bond but I changed my mind when I realized there was no Aston Martin coming with it...

Didn't the AD tell you?

You can still get that option, you just have to pay for it Carl, that's all.

Try to explain to an AD that 22$, a candy bar and my leather jacket are more than enough to cover such a car's cost, they didn't want to listen to me...

Face it.

You gots to pay, to play Carl.

Unfortunately the closest thing to the James Bond watch to car integration reality is the JLC AMVOX2 DBS Transponder... but this requires you to buy the watch and Aston Martin.

Puff Daddy auditioned to be Mr. Bond. He put together a whole reel. It didn't work out and they went with what's his name. Resulting, Puffy had really elaborate cologne tv ads. So in the end he still made Aston Martin money.

khyamboy · 16 January 2013, 05:37 PM

Its all to do with the DNA

I heard a rumour that he is in fact a ficticious character...

Tri-National-Man · 16 January 2013, 05:57 PM

Do Seiko wearers and BMW drivers feel at all Bondy??

kryten2001 · 16 January 2013, 06:37 PM

I'll feel like a bond when I get my nato strap for my new 14060M. Sitting at my desk, middle aged balding fat guy... License to provide IT support....

All those guys with '007' personalised plates on their Fords can't be wrong.
It's still a powerful fantasy.

So Indiana Jones's father did even wear a Submariner!?

Frogman4me · 16 January 2013, 11:09 PM

Original is the 6538 ;)

kryten2001 · 16 January 2013, 11:16 PM

Fidel and his GMT would own bond any day of the week.

kryten2001 · 16 January 2013, 11:22 PM

And 007 wouldn't stand a chance against rambo.

Mickey® · 16 January 2013, 11:43 PM

If it doesn't at least have LUG HOLES...NO BOND Connection!!!
I agree.

But even then it's weird to "want to be Bond/have a connection"...

WAIT!!!!
If I wear red, white and blue leather can I be Evel Knievel???
