First time poster, so.. ummm.. hello! I'm Ollie (or Daz, whichever you prefer!)
Anyhoo, I found this site via that very interesting article, although I did spot what I think may be a small error in it.. I watched Thunderball last night, and JB was wearing a Breitling 'Top Time' Diver Chronometer (with built in Geiger counter, naturally!), and not a Rolex. I only spotted it in one scene.. did he wear a Rolex elsewhere in the film?
Thanks
Ollie

Yes, in all the other scenes The Rolex has plenty of close up screen time, especially when Bond swims into Palmyra via the water channel and checks the time. Great shot of the 6538.

Hello and welcome to AJB, by the way {[]
You know, your absolutely right. After a rewatch, there are numerous scenes where the Rolex is seen in close-up, yet for some reason my brain only picked out the Breitling. Maybe it's a subconcious desire to (have the money to) own one! Thanks for the warm welcome as well! {[]

It's amazing how much you notice after several viewings. I've studied the early Submariners in GF and TB ad infinitum over 17 years, and just when I think I know everything, someone will point out something very new.
I can't wait for CR to come out on DVD, a few of us will be very disappointed about the inaccuracies of our findings about certain props, clothing and continuity, which will lead to more spending. God help us, and thank God I was not a Bond fan in the Sixties, pre DVD and pause buttons.
Yes, welcome to the forum. Ditto what ASP9mm said. My follow up article will include the Breitling Top Time.
