I couldn't find anything about it being mentioned in Thunderball, so if you have something to back that up, I'd love to see it. Then again, this is the internet and people do tend to say anything with absolute confidence.

Despite those things, let's say that you're right and I'm wrong. That brings that massive total to three novels. You're acting like this new piece of evidence suddenly changes the entire argument. Ok, so maybe he mentioned Rolex by name in 3 (instead of 2 out) of 14 novels and 9 short stories.
That really changes everything.
Again, I'd love to see some of your research into where exactly it appears in Thunderball.
