FINALLY found this watch, after much trial and error. Ordered it from many dealers, both trusted and non trusted and they all would tell me they had it in stock but then right before shipping it out tell me they didn't, and in 2 cases (non trusted dealers) sent me the wrong watch. Finally saw that Perfect Clones had it, (which I don't think they did when this post was created) and ordered it. Josh was super nice and fast and answered all my questions. Sent it out fast but it spent almost 2 weeks in US customs. It is as accurate to the original as I need it to be, considering I was very close to just buying a Tiger homage. Think I'm going to wear it as is for a year or 2 before aging it. Also, they say the bezel is unidirectional but it's not, moves both ways like the original. I am a bigger Bond fan than a watch fan but I've learned a ton about watches and reps from the help of this site. Now that I have this and the Skyfall Seamaster, I aim on having a watch worn by each Bond actor. http://www.p-cls.com/rlsv10029-vintage-james-bond-6205-ssnato-a2836-p-9099.html

I also went with an Omega, the Skyfall Seamaster with glass back. Good to know TT deff has the Rolex.

Well, lesson learned not to go outside the trusted dealers. After finally recieving my order from theonewatch, I ended up getting a Sub that was nothing at all like what was pictured. They told me they would pay to have it shipped back (which they did) and would mail me the correct watch. 3 days later they email me that the manufacturer is all out of the watch, and refunded me my money. So now I am back to ground zero If anyone can send me links where I can find this watch, or build one under 250 I would greatly appreciate it, preferably places that accept paypal. It's so weird that such a famous watch is one of the harder ones to find good reps of.

haha I was planning on doing the same, however that watch has a fixed lug bar I think, not spring.

No idea, I didn't run into this problem at all. I do know if you email their Gmail account they should get back to you with answers within the next few hours.

Thank you for the info, but I am only buying it for looks, and the unidirectional bezel and hacking movement are more than fine to me. I understand it is not a recommended dealer, but I've read a handful of the reviews off this site and others about it and everything is positive. They have kept in contact, and answered every question honestly and I have a Fedex tracking number. They guaranteed its exact as what pictured, and can return it within 30 days if anythings wrong. I also paid with Paypal which has its 45 day dispute claims if I have any problems. I understand even with all this something can go wrong but as of now I see no reason to feel uncomfortable about my buy. I do appreciate every ones concern and wishing me luck and in time I will either be posting pictures of my new watch or writing the seller a nasty review on here.

I also already have the correct strap, (remember green stripes outlined in red on black, not the widely believed gray stripes!) Was very surprised by how thin a 18mm strap really is.

Most likely, thats why I brought mine up. I originally was going to use TT, but if I remember correctly they don't take Paypal, and thats what I wanted to use. After A LOT of searching I found this watch on that site for way cheaper than other sites had it, with free shipping, and they take Paypal. I'm still waiting for the watch to show up (fingers crossed that its exactly whats pictured) but so far they have been amazing with keeping in contact and answering questions via email.

No, I was this one, a 6205, sorry a bit off topic http://www.theonewatch.net/Watches/Swiss+Catalog/Rolex+Swiss/SUBMARINER/ROLEX+-+Vintage+50s+James+Bond+Sub+6205+SSAndNato+Blk+A-2836_10569.html

Just ordered this watch from http://www.theonewatch.net ,as far as I can find this the most accurate James Bond Rolex rep I could find, at least by basic looks (large crown with Bevet on it, no crown gaurds, non-graduated bezel, correct markings.) Might be hard to mod, but since its already so close to the exact Bond Rolex, and I'm only buying it for style, I think this will do me just fine.
