Best Bond Watches

Check this out, pretty comprehensive list http://hiconsumption.com/2018/01/best-bond-watches/

I had no idea that Bond wore that Seiko in AVTAK and the TAG in TLD!

You should hang around more often in the mem& coll section of this forum
That aside the article is full of flaws....

) Even I who know nothing about Bond watches knew about
the Seiko and Tag. Those nut job collectors are full of Infomation
in their articles and videos, I always learn something new.

Wonder how they didn't mention the Made-For-007 Seamaster 300.

Anyway, I knew all about his watches before joining the forums but it's always nice to see them neatly organised, even if they could do with pictures of Bond actually wearing the timepiece and correct versions of the SA watch (the gold MR Seiko sticks out like a sore thumb).

If anyone's interested in Roger's Seiko in particular, Mr Spencer Klein made an excellent video on the watches he wore throughout his tenure on the news of Sir Roger passing away.
Have been watching his Seiko repair videos while learning about vintage references and what kind of ones I would like to own.
Should I ever get a hold of an old one, I'll be sure to send it to this guy.

The article is a mess. I'm not Bond watch expert, but even I can see things wrong with this article.

Starting with the second line of the article. "Since Sean Connery delivered his first lines in 1963’s Dr. No the world has seen (...). It goes downhill from there.....

The American premiere was in 1963, so maybe that's when the author saw it. But I'm just being kind.

Top journalism there, obviously written by a true expert 8-)

The video author also states that AVTAK was released in 1983 (it was 1985) and he seemed to think the scenes at Zorin's chateau took place in the US.

Zorins chateau, Draxs chateau same bond, same difference!

Yeah, he's not much of a Bond expert but he does show the watches and I thought it was a neat video.
It's impossible to find a video without any inaccuracies.

I just looked at the watches - such a millennial.

Funny thing with all these errors is that someone has still referenced the films correctly below the blurbs.
