I’m contacting you from Fellows Auctioneers in Birmingham.

We are selling a Rolex Submariner which featured on James Bond’s wrist in the film Licence to Kill.

The Rolex Submariner worn by 007 could fetch a whopping £90,000 at Fellows Auctioneers in Birmingham.

The magnificent timepiece - worn by Timothy Dalton’s stunt double during the British spy thriller, Licence to Kill, in 1989 – is estimated at £60,000 - £90,000 in Fellows’ upcoming Watch Sale on Tuesday 30th October*.

The stunning timepiece, reference 5513, will be on view in Fellows’ London and Birmingham offices leading up to the auction.

The Rolex featured in a memorable scene during a car chase where 007 is driving a tanker truck in Mexico.

Laura Bishop, Watch Manager at Fellows Auctioneers, said: “This is one of the rarest and most fascinating watches we have ever had up for auction at Fellows. It’s amazing to think this watch was on screen in a James Bond movie. The more I read about the provenance of the watch, and how it featured in such a classic Bond scene, the more excited I get about selling it.”

*Please note the Rolex Submariner was worn onscreen by Timothy Dalton’s stunt double, not Timothy Dalton himself.

Coincidentally I saw this piece this week. The provenance that this guy worked on the film is very good, but it’s not worth that price by any stretch of the imagination. It’s a stunt doubles watch that doesn’t get seen on screen, and has no connection with the production at all beyond that. Above all else the provenance doesn’t unequivocally prove that this watch was worn by the stuntman beyond his word. It’s an interesting piece, but £10k let alone £90k will get you a higher profile screen used principal actor/Bond used prop actually seen on screen. Or indeeed a very nice example of a 5513.

I always thought, he was wearing a Submariner Date in LTK.

He was. This belonged to one of the stunt drivers. So it wasn’t worn by Bond or even seen on screen. The auction house write up on this watch is somewhat misleading.

They might as well chuck the stuntmans undies up too and list it under Bond
