JoJo35 Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 You are looking at an industrial laser which emits an extraordinary light, not to be found in nature. It can project a spot on the moon - or, at closer range, cut through solid metal. I will show you "Do you expect me to talk?" "NO MR. BOND, I EXPECT YOU TO DIE!!!!".....Auric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Padge Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Wow that is some timepiece! I have always had a soft spot for this watch, the Bond link makes it irresistible I must say one thing though, this thread shows the colour of the original nato strap clearly: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...bond+green+nato Props to UncleJay to spotting that colouration Great watch, I am envious too!

freddy333 Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 JoJo -- The best 5510 franken I have seen to date. (Or is it a 5508?) Absolutely awesome piece. My hat goes off to you (with the usual tilt to The Master). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hat goes off to you (with the usual tilt to The Master). Freddy, thanks to you and everyone else for your compliments about the watch It's actually a 6538 big crown, although a 5508 brevet is in the works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJo35 Posted May 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Here's some interesting info I found: All shoulderless Rolex Submariners should have black gloss dials and are known as the James Bond due to the sporting of one by Mr. Connery in Goldfinger. It looks like he is wearing the military issue A/6538: Nato strap, fixed bars , large 8mm crown but no minute markers first five minutes on the bezel insert. For me the only true James Bond Rolex Submariner is the new ref. 6538 model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
