Thunderball and watches

Have been watching Thunderball recently and am amazed about the big number of continuity errors regarding 007s watch.

Example: Bond "relaxes" Pat with the mink glove and clearly wears no watch. He then hears the ambulance appearing, puts on his pants and Poloshirt and voila: The watch is already on!

Has anyone infos, which Poloshirts have been worn in Thunderball? I think, that I have seen a glance of a Fred Perry label on the dark-blue Polo (probably the inspiration for the CR Sunspel shirt), that he wears during his ride with Fiona.

Regarding the blue swimming trunks in the Nassau beach scene, I wonder, if GP had these trunks in the collection, or, if that particular colour has been ordered by Lindy Hemming in CR as an hommage.

    That simply means that Q branch already had the technology they used on the Aston Martin Vanish in the sixties. At that time they could make small items, like watches dissapear, but it wasn't until DAD that they could apply it to a whole car. :D

    The Fred Perry Polo is seen on Bond after he does an underwater surveillance of the Disco Volante. He beaches, pulls off his wetsuit and there is the shirt. He then hitches a ride with Fiona Volpe. I prefer Lacoste shirts myself, but I do have three navy blue Fred Perry's with the white logo.

    If he does, it's one without the logo.
