The press release



Rolex "James Bond" Submariner from "Live and Let Die", Reference 5513
Estimate SFr 150,000 – 250,000

Quite possibly the most recognizable watch in history with over 1 billion people having watched the film "Live and Let Die", the wristwatch seen on Sir Roger Moore is in fact a Rolex Submariner reference 5513 made in 1972, and was later modified for the movie.

The acclaimed Rolex Submariner worn by Sir Roger Moore was memorable for its buzz saw bezel that spun and could cut through rope to escape dangerous situations, and the hyper intensified magnetic field with the ability to deflect bullets. Used for both humor and heightened dramatic events, the magnetic reach could unzip Miss Caruso’s dress, and catch a spoon off of a coffee saucer.

The present Rolex reference 5513 "Q" is the most unforgettable watch prop used in a movie and is even signed inside the caseback "Roger Moore 007". As a highlight in the most iconic scenes "Live and Let Die", this watch is sure to interest both watch collectors and true fans of cinematography alike.

You have a too high assumption about my financial resources :v

Higgins

On a side note, I find the "Roger Moore 007" engraving quite interesting.

Never seen it and am curious if this has been done when the watch was new (then it would have been given to Sir Roger at one point) or later from one of the other owners.

Higgy Babe, Uncle Dell did the engraving when he had the watch for authentication (Being the world's leading expert on all watches Bond) He did it so he could remember who played Bond at the time :v
