cjjoyce1 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Fantastic! It's interesting how the original in the movie had it on an 18mm NATO, and how Bond still wore it with a dinner jacket - a bit casual for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Connery could wear a Rolex-signed banana & it would look cool. On just anyone else, a vintage Sub/striped strap worn with formal wear just looks silly (speaking empirically). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyB Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 I've been wearing it the last couple of days and received very positive reactions from people. Something about it makes it quite noticeable. The NATO strap colors really go well with the gilt dial. I'm not a strap fan, and certainly not a NATO strap fan at all, but this one works well. But you are right, and a step further in that a Submariner is not a watch to wear with formal attire, and certainly not a vintage diver's watch nor any tool watch. Only Connery's Bond could do that.

Nanuq Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 My photo skills are not very good, but here is a dial shot. I think it came out nice. Are my eyes deceiving me or is that a tropical dial?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyB Posted March 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 No, it's just the reflection in the crystal. But with those decals it'd be easy enough to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanpnichols Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Great looking watch Joey! That's exacty the look I'd like to get. Did you purchases it like that or did you get a base model and do lots of mods? Please share with the group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyB Posted March 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Thank you! This one is a straight up build. I just posted about it here: http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/157082-6538-case-review-phongs-vs-tiger/ reply #17. It is not a very difficult build, I think the key is the dial.

studiocityanonymous Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 The reason he's wearing the NATO strap is that in the scene before, he infiltrated the joint via SCUBA, and his Sub was worn on the outside of his wetsuit... wouldn't have boded well for a leather strap.
