Gilt is an invite only buying site where they put stuff up usually at deep discount. They have the pen up for sale right now for $428 instead of $1415. Not sure how many they have, but the sales usually only last a day.

    There is a post with someone who has all those ties with James Bond logos. There are glasses with JB logo, bags, pen, just about anything. Maybe this is just me, but I don't think that the true spirit of James Bond is to have some fake (but sometimes very well made, or even luxury) items with someone's logo on it. I think it's about craftmanship, originality, elitism at times, but simple, spot on clothes and accessories. And drinks.

    I don't think James Bond would use this pen. I know I would not. (Even though I must confess I love it). I suscribed to the site web but I think I'm on the waiting list. I wonder how long it will take.
    If you can't trust a Swiss banker, what's the world come to?

    Well, I know this item isn't a fake; I'm sure it was made as a tie-in with the S.T. Dupont cufflinks used in the movie. I'll PM you an invite link for Gilt since I'm a member.
