With my favorite Submariner 5508 on my wrist. Of course it is not a Big Crown Sub as the one our adorable 007 had on his wrist in his first film “Dr. No” in 1962 but it is the closest watch I own. I’m eagerly looking forward to the announcement of the nex...
I feel Bond´s Submariner was fitted with a 16 mm pass through straps and not a real Nato by the way it fits on his wrist. Who knows the real reason for that. Thank you for your viewing and commenting! Cheers, Abel
... but finally went for the Rolex. But this is an extraordinary homage to the Franchise I feel. Have a great Sunday my dear friend and let´s keep enjoying the adventures of our beloved Agent 007! Cheers! Abel
Nothing official I guess as I don´t know whom had the idea actually. But Omega has released yesterday a couple of beautiful videos celebrating it in their IG. Glad you like my 5508 dear Nicolas. I feel that regrettably to think to own a Big Crown is absol...
It seems that all these watches had "travelled" abroad to reach US or European collectors, regret to say. But... who knows... Lady Luck some times helps! Lol! Abrazos amigo mio! Abel
It would be interesting to see your census post some day. I always remember that in one of our meetings in Paris you introduced me to a very nice gentleman and fellow collector who owned a Ci Tudor which was just nine Ci numbers difference with mine (ref ...
... some time ago by mail: "Ci" Meaning "Codigo de Inventario" (Inventory code used in internal control of the Argentina Navy stores). As you know in the past many "experts" were telling that those intials corresponded to different Military Corps, somethi...
Guess you are right about trying it with a thinner straps. I never tried because I wear it with it´s original riveted Oyster bracelet. I just took it off and put these straps for the shoots. By the way, I feel that Connery wore his watch with a pass-throu...
Great shots from the film. Here it’s clear that the strap is most probably 16 mm than 18 mm as I suspected. And not a true Nato but a pass through strap. The BC makes for the big difference in character! Thank you so much for sharing!! Best cordial regard...
I remember when you originally posted these shots some time ago as in those days I had bought my own Bulova and after viewing your pictures I run to order a similar straps. I´m also a Bulova fan! I didn´t think in using them in my 5508 to simulate Bond´s ...
What a wonderful sub! Thanks for sharing it here with us. 5508 are said to be more refined and elegant thank 5510. Yours is a beautiful time capsule. How do you like to wear it more? On oyster bracelet or on straps? Un abrazo querido Abel. René
I feel the small crown Subs have a more refined and fine look and the BC Subs a more brutal or "macho" personality. The stronger case of the BC versions also plays on its character. I love both choices but being a BC the reference worn by Connery´s Bond (...
Exactly that was why I was asking how do you like it more!!! It looks more refined indeed, and the “Big Logo” bracelet looks just perfect! Thanks for sharing your treasure with us my friend. Un abrazo desde tierras mexicanas. René
I´m happy to know you like the old Sub with its bracelet. It looks very nice on the wrist indeed. It´s always a pleasure to share my watches in this, our place. Un abrazo afectuoso desde las primaverales pampas!! Abel
