A guide to the JB watches

CRB

Can someone help me here. I've had a search here and in google but no luck yet. In trying to find a relatively simple guide to watches worn in each JB film. All I've seemed to find is specific eras like Brosnans watches, Craig's watches etc. surely somewhere there's guide to all the watches ?
Thanks

I've got one for you, it is from a big watch forum.

That W-U-S article is really good, but we need HD pictures now :v
If you are interested in the earlier (Rolex) watches, try here:

http://rolexblog.blogspot.de/2008/11/list-of-all-watches-worn-in-james-bond.html

if you are interested in Seikos, just ask me

And take infos from jamesbondwatches.com with a load of salt - not everything is correct there.

27 mins before DD got flamed in a post about watches, somehow I thought it would be quicker than that

Peppermill

I was thinking about it but thought better of it. Otherwise it would have been 11 minutes.

That is an excellent link!! Thank you, I enjoyed reading through that

What's/Who's DD by the way ?? Why is he flamed ?

Thanks for the links - very interesting reading. The one on that watch forum is particularly good but it doesn't say what watch they are - I guessed that they were submariners (I'm a watch newby). Surely someone has a film & model list somewhere ?

Are the 3 Craig films the same watch ?

Some Guy on here wrote a rather good write up on Bonds watches http://jamesbond.ajb007.co.uk/bonding-with-time-the-wristwatches-of-james-bond-22/

It is a shame part 1 is missing 8-)

Higgins

how could I forget DGs excellent article ;%
part 1 is here:

@ CRB a very long story, too difficult to explain shortly.

But like I have said:

Be careful about jamesbondwatches.com.
Many dodgy things going on there and they only serve one purpose: The owner Dell Deaton (DD) himself.

If you go to the comment section from Jake's Rolex blog, you'll find more infos as well as if you search for Deaton here on the board.

It's always good to research yourself to get your own opinion.

Of course not, how else would Omega make a bit of cash...

I liked how Brosnan stayed consistent, apart from the Quartz Seamaster in GoldenEye.

Yeah, I like the fact you can link a specific watch to Bond however I guess product placement sadly wins and variety to flog more models is key.

I guess Bond has sort of lost his way with watches of late. No specific model to identify him, I guess the PO is DC's popular watch but I guess after only making a 13 min appearance in Skyfall I guess he has fallen out of favour with that too.

Suppose Moore was a mixed bag when it came to watches also.

Dread to think what will happen in Bond 24, maybe back to Seamaster since new model prob needs some sales boost

Not from me, I already own one However, it is my first Omega so I didn't buy into the movie tie-ins.

I agree that the WUS link would be even better if all the watches were named.

The Ceramic one? Which colour?

Yes the ceramic one. I bought the blue one because I think it is the colour that suits the watch a lot better than black.

I bought the blue ceramic smp also, a few months ago. I love it.

I also find the blue changes colour depending on light, indoors/outdoors etc so it's always got a different look
