5508
By: Mostel : October 13th, 2010-08:51
I saw an older man wearing one at my favorite guitar shop... a patina'd well worn real world watch. I took a mental picture and figured out which model it was with the help of this wonderful site. If I were to go vintage, today anyway, the 5508.
Thanks Nicolas
By: Mostel : October 13th, 2010-23:15
I should not ever start with the vintage stuff...... but...... They look so good all worn in.
James Bond, of course!

Hi Nicolas, lovely vintage Rolex combination of yours and a challenging question for us! My favourite is James Bond and the Submariner (sea); actually it was this association that brought me to overcome my "Rolexophobia" . My second best candidate would b...
Missing Bond pic

This "earthen" pic should have been in the first post already Very grim determination on his face, the villain provocatingly laid-back. Bond fighting underground in a missile silo (from "The World is not enough"). Sorry for the Omega on his wrist...
Nothing to be said against Omega watches
By: anaesdoc : October 9th, 2010-07:16
On the contrary: most of my quality watches are Omegas and virtually all of my vintage ones. The "sorrry" was a smiling comment to Nicolas´ post in the Rolex forum, that I "spoilt" with this non-Rolex pic . Best regards, anaesdoc...

I was waiting for you, or Joe, or Jeff to mention Paul Newman! Of course, my friend, you can add this Star to the other Stars! Best, Nicolas
superb pic!.....

You've got all the bases covered with those three beauties. Cheers, Pete
That was the idea, Pete...
By: amanico : October 9th, 2010-05:10
Well, there are other pieces to include, such as the Explo II " Freccione " or the Daytona, or some themas to develop such as the Explos or GMTs. But that is another story. Best, Nicolas

I thought I will say BOND
By: TdotBean : October 9th, 2010-08:26
but I am looking for vintage subs then I saw your pic. OK I change my mind. Hail to Sir Edmund. What are they going for these days. Please PM me PS: Your E1 is to die for. Tyler
Difficult to choose between these 3, Tyler.
By: amanico : October 9th, 2010-15:08
Add a Daytona and a Milgauss, and I think the basics are totally covered. The Explo I, being 6610, 1016 or any other few references are a bit underated, due to their smaller size. Underated, but not by me, as I'm in serious love with it. Nice choice! Best...
EASY! *cue my theme song*
By: dxboon : October 9th, 2010-10:16
James Bond Sub for me, Vlad dearest! Followed by Ms. Galore's GMT, and then the Explorer. My favorite scene from Goldfinger below. Best. Bond. EVER! And, boy, that Sean Connery. Hubba hubba! From Los Angeles with love! *giggle* Daos
Just...
By: dxboon : October 9th, 2010-17:21
...all of the above! Connery was the best Bond IMO and this watch was the best of the Bond watches over the years. Cheers, Daos
Agreed...
By: patrick_y : October 11th, 2010-09:40
The best "Bond Girl" slash "Double Agent" in all of the Bond films. The above is stated as an opinion, not a fact.
You know, you know, hermano....

James for ever! You know that I love diver watches, and this 5508 is just awesome! But I´d be really happy with any of them Best hermano. Lobato, Emilio Lobato
How about...
By: chaser579 : October 9th, 2010-11:40
Chuck Yeager on the Rolex side and Buzz Aldrin on the Omega side, since they are real people and both watch brands have been featured in Bond films and whatnot also. See what happens after sampling a glass of Pinot Noir and one of Moscato? Wheee! Thanks! ...
Aaah, Reneo!
By: amanico : October 9th, 2010-15:13
Finally someone who put the Galore in the pole position! Love your vote! Best, Nicolas
Amazing to know that

Great question.... Edmund Hillary for me...

That is an interesting view, Andrew.
By: amanico : October 11th, 2010-07:10
Most of the answers focus on celebrities, when you focus on your childhood, and you're absolutely right! Well, I guess that when others refer to James Bond, they also refer to a part of their childhood. But the Explo II so called Freccione has something m...
Tenzig Norgay!!
By: playtime : October 11th, 2010-12:21
wasn't it he, rather than Hillary (didn't he wear a Smiths), who wore the Explorer? Whatever the case, I love the sense of adventure that the Explorer embodies--and its scientific heritage (was it not part of the geophysic year like JLC and IWC?) that it ...
Tenzing Norgay
By: papazulu : October 11th, 2010-12:27
Suposedly yes it was he who wore the Explorer!
Correct.
By: amanico : October 11th, 2010-12:49
As for the IGY ( International Geophysic Year ), yes, the Explorer is contemporanean of the JLC. The IWC came later, IMO. The other one to be contemporanean is the Railmasrer Omega, if I'm not wrong. Yes, 1958 was an exciting year! Best, Nicolas
From that trio..............
By: VMM : October 14th, 2010-04:22
I would take the Explorer, no doubt, but I have to confess that your "PEPSI" GMT looks stunning. What a wonderful patina on that dial. Love it. Thanks for sharing. Best. Vte
