How's your back? I imagine it starts to hurt from picking those names off the floor all the time?

Carry on.

Funny, I was watching that movie an hour ago and spotted the same watches. It really looks like a SS GMT 2C because when we see the bezel from top , it looked all black with grey/platinum numbers.

Hadn't heard the story that he used his personal watch in either film. Source on that?

Also notice samsung plugs throughout the film as well. Just to let you all know, I know the producer and director. Hope this helps.

PS here's mine.

I've always been more of a SS guy, but that is sweet. YG really suits the GMTIIc.

The watch was worn on both films although only briefly seen in The Living Daylights.

(Not meaning any offense; it's just that, as I point out most routinely to Bo w/ his links here, there's just too much unsourced copycatting that goes on via the Internet that, upon the most basic examination, turns out to be, um, wrong. Thanks!)

I love rollie spotting...... especially in the early Bonds... :-)

HDHNTER · 3 July 2008, 09:54 PM

Not a movie but I spotted a Pepsi GMT on Hell's Kitchen (Cooking reality show with Gordon Ramsey) last night. One of his Chef's was wearing it, got to see a nice shot of it in High Definition, no mistaking what it was.

Art161 · 5 July 2008, 05:25 AM

I have been searching the various movie threads, but I can't find any mention of Holly's Rolex in Die Hard. Is this something nice people don't talk about because the bracelet broke and Hans fell from the high-rise office building? Maybe I'm not nice or maybe I'm not good at searching. Or both.

I dont have the movies here so I cant tell you, however, this came up when one searches "Rolex" under wiki.

Thereafter Seiko digital watches were worn by Bond until the Rolex Submariner reappeared in 1989's Licence to Kill. Since 1995's Goldeneye, Omega Seamaster watches have been 'product-placed' in the Bond films.

Of course I wouldnt rely on that site if it were important, but they usually get this factual stuff right. As far asthe watch being T Dalton's personal piece, I'm still looking for a source for you, bear with me.

EDIT here is a better link...

Without getting into a debate about specific articles and websites here, I'll simply say again, "buyer beware" when reading and relying on such sources. It looks like you agree.

In any case, here's a link to definitive information (from Christie's) on the George Lazenby Rolex chronograph reference 6238 from On Her Majesty's Secret Service. LINK

I just re-watched this movie again last night. The Cosmo really gets some air time too. Probably 10-15 seconds of pure beauty on the screen!

Yeah, I saw that as well, but aren't those sub-dials suppose to be second, minute and hour markers? What am I missing? I've always wished the Daytona came with at least a date indicator, the day would be even better. But alas, I was under the impression this watch has never been made. A little help for all of us non-Daytona experts...anyone???

unfortunatly this one is as "FAKE" as fake can be!

was watching OCEAN's 13 last night and i saw alot of rollies there. will watch it again tonight and ill tyr to post some pics.

I did a google search for "Rolex Kill Bill" and came up with the following quote from a moviemistake site.

"In the scene when Uma is doing the pregnancy test, she uses a Rolex watch, but the watch has a ticking second hand, whereas real Rolex watches have a swiping movement. [Fake Rolexes are often notable by a ticking second hand rather than a swiping movement. Maybe Uma wears a fake Rolex because she doesn't think it's worth getting a real one given all the punishment it would take."

Now personally, I have never seen the chrono part of the Daytona functioning. I would assume it acts like all other second hands....yes/no

ronbo710 · 10 October 2012, 09:57 AM

Didn't Brad Pitt wear a Platinum Day date in '12'? I thought it had an ice blue diamond dial. Maybe Not -Ronbo

mikeinalexandria · 10 October 2012, 11:34 AM

Rolexes were used in a lot of the James Bond movies. Here is an excellent, well written article about the various Submarners that appear with Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton.

Hi all,
As this is my first time here (just found the Forum while trolling the net), I don't want to break or bend any rules. James Heaton at Hodinkee wrote a neat little piece on the Bond Sub a few days ago, on the 50th anniversary of Dr. No (great film!!). Link: http://www.hodinkee.com/the-james-bo...turns-50-today

Watched thunderball last night featuring james bonds vintage sub 5510 as well as his breitling toptime, he also wore another watch in the bathroom in his hotel room as he sat on the counter and moved his arm to see the chicks ring, but I couldn't identify it?

It's fake, I believe... I mean know. Look at the bezel, the wheels with the day and date, etc.... Lame, you would think Rolex would give them one for free for product placement, rather than the, resort to fakes...
