Happy Birthday Mr. Bond!


Sir Sean Connery celebrates his 81st birthday today. I wish I had an 'original' bond Sub to wear in his honor but this will have to do:



Anyone else?

Happy Birthday to Sir Sean Connery! I saw "Dr.No" and "From Russia With Love" two weeks ago. I immediately ordered a Bond strap for my Invicta! It still hasn't came yet.

Mine is the 18mm RAF style.

There has been a lot of discussion on here about the flimsiness of their straps compared to others. They are on the flimsy side but I think that gives it the most authentic look.
