CR Cufflinks

Hi. Just been watching C/R and during the train ride to Montenegro, Bond wears THREE different Dupont cufflinks, first he wears the square version that we all know and love, then after Vesper makes her point about the government, we see the train from the outside, then Bond pours Vesper wine, the shot cuts to him and he is wearing the casino cufflinks; then Vesper makes a comment re. Bond bluffing and he is wearing half moon shape cufflinks.
Makes me think of how many changes are made from scene to scene form a product placement standpoint...ie Tom Ford Ties ect.

was there one, two or even three different links ...
tricks of the light I believe....
far from being drink related, i recall it driving many to drink....
And that was probably without reference to any Blu-Ray HD images?!
Well done guys... :007)
Yeah, I remember it well. I think we came to the best conclusion though with those half moon links, and Blu-ray confirmed it. I remember I wasn't 100% convinced it was that particular style then, I am now.
There certainly wasn't any coffin or diamond head links in that scene. We certainly would have picked up on that. The problem with those half moon links, they reflect the light in all kinds of bizaare ways. And to boot, they were the only ones I didn't get
"Your contact?" "Not well."
Yep, that's it.
The coffin ones, of course, had "007" on the inside. Obviously, a gift from M to the newly promoted James Bond. And to help identify them in case he ever lost them.
my M (um.....) did similar for me, sewing my name in my socks and undies..
on a serious note, how appropriate a subliminal at a poker table...
As u stare across at Bond's hand of cards your mind sees a silver coloured COFFIN....
And the feeling of being buried sets in....
Yes, I believe "someone" was good enough to put James Bond's name on his expensive Tom Ford sunglasses for the same reason.
And I think from the Bond-M relationship we know who!
just a thought but would there be any interest in trying to get dupont to do another run of these cufflinks?
As the saying goes..'I would rather know the truth and be wrong than be wrong and think I was right'....or something like that.
"Your contact?" "Not well."
Hey I like this subliminal thing
Just to clarify
Coffin links = Poker scene
Crescent Moon = Train scene
Diamond Squares = ???????
Anybody help?
That was my understanding the cufflinks to be per scene, unless someone wants to throw a spanner in the works... 8-)

I see the tie changes also, poor continuity unless he changed on the train
If you look closer, you can tell he changes his suit and tie as well, presumably for the arrival of the train in Montenegro.
NMS
Quite. There isn't any.
The changes are perfectly plausible.
Of course you correct, for some reason I thought the suit was the same howeve totally diff.
Should have known better :007)

Anyone buy from them before? Any problems?
On another note,anybody here contacted Dupont about another re-run of the coffin cufflinks?
I don't think I've heard anyone state on here that they have contacted S.T.Dupont about a re-run on these cuflinks - can anyone correct me? However, I seriously doubt they will reproduce these.

The engraving is certainly present on my pair.
Beautiful cufflinks by the way!!
