Here is a picture of my Bond watch collection. Pictured from left to right is a 4 line Rolex Submariner 6538 and 2 line Rolex Submariner 5510 from the Connery era, the Rolex Submariner 5513 from the Lazenby/Moore era, the Rolex Chronograph 6238 (Pre-Daytona) from the Lazenby era, the Breitling 806 Navitimer owned by Major Derval and recovered by Connery/Bond and lastly the Omega Seamaster 2531.80 as worn by Brosnan. Quite a chunk of change in that picture. That's why the Planet Ocean will have to wait.

The Navitimer with the AOPA wings is rare as I understand.
I have never had a good experience with their customer service.

Royal Arcade definitely has them, there is another shop close to Royal Arcade that also specializes in Rolex. Yes, the no crown guard Submariners are ridiculously expensive, but they can be purchased from several vintgae watch shops on this side of the pond. All it takes is patience and duckets. James Dowling has them from time to time too and he does make trips to the U.S. several times a year.

Thankyou for posting the image....I love all of these but the two really early Connery period Rolexs are my favs I think. {[]
Great collection by the way DG {[]
Congratulations DG!
You can watch "Goldfinger" without breaking a swaet every time SC checks his watch, and flicks his lighter.

I am also admiring your Navitimer and am still angry at myself, that I have let the opportunity pass to buy one at a bargain 5 years ago, when the small size ha been discontinued.
I could have purchased it for like US$ 800 brand new and was thinking too long
However, yours will take it up anytime!

Amazing!

That shows uncommonly good taste on his part. Anyone know what version DC wears?
