Hello all, I loved Daniel Craig as Bond and I think Omega suits James Bond very well. Bronson even had an Omega as James Bond, but do you think Rolex should be the official Bond watch again instead of Omega? If so, which model would best fit for Bond?

Submariner

Bigblu10 · 16 January 2019, 12:10 PM

Yes, but Omega seems to have the foothold on the modern James Bond franchise.

tmmii · 16 January 2019, 12:14 PM

Submariner. Just so my neighbor doesn’t think he’s hot shit with a beat old inherited omega.

In-Cog-Neeto · 16 January 2019, 12:19 PM

Depends where he is on the waitlist

exador · 16 January 2019, 12:19 PM

One of these:

klenboy · 16 January 2019, 12:23 PM

I’m a Bond fan and my favorite Bond is Roger Moore and the iconic Bond watch to me is the Buzzsaw Submariner from Live and Let Die.

Yes! The Sub needs to be the Bond watch again!

Ljung · 16 January 2019, 01:00 PM

NO ! Please.

Enough shortage of supply.

Wearing rolex because i love rolex, not because of Bond.

ltmgeller · 16 January 2019, 01:05 PM

I think he should be wearing a sub.

Jeez, what did this guy do to you?!

Dr.Smellody · 16 January 2019, 01:56 PM

Yes

dba · 16 January 2019, 02:08 PM

IIRC, in the book that introduced Bond, Fleming wrote, "Bond could not wear just any watch, it had to be a Rolex."

That should cover it nicely, thank you.

DonBateman · 16 January 2019, 02:10 PM

I think after Craig’s final appearance they should switch to Rolex. New Bond and new watch!

Bronson wore a Rolex.

Brosnan wore an Omega.

Bronson would kick Brosnans A#*

ferrissteve11 · 16 January 2019, 03:48 PM

I suppose it would also depend on who the new Bond is...but I would say either a Sub or Sea Dweller of some type. I think either of those would check the appropriate boxes.

Hendrikus · 16 January 2019, 03:51 PM

More likely that he wears aTudor, if there were to be a switch away from Omega.

In my professional life, I’ve had involvement with how Bond movies tied in with Aston Martin. You heard it here first..... Tudor.

superstarmar · 16 January 2019, 04:04 PM

Yes , the Iconic Sub ....

mangoseed · 16 January 2019, 04:18 PM

Ian Flemming's iteration of Bond did wear a Rolex Oyster of course. The black dial OP would be understated enough for him to wear. The Planet Ocean is just too ridiculous and loud for a secret agent to wear.

doctoryellow · 16 January 2019, 04:20 PM

Definitely a Sub. Bond deserves better

Like the idea of a tudor. But which one?

Rolex should be everyones watch if they havent already got one in the collection

HogwldFLTR · 16 January 2019, 04:55 PM

Really, it's all imaginary and paid for product placement. It doesn't matter. No matter which company it is it will be bought and paid. Might as well make it Patek.

Hendrikus · 16 January 2019, 05:03 PM

That is correct. Which is why it won’t be Rolex. Rolex didn’t pay when Bond wore them. Tudor may pay though ...

Should be Rolex but it will depend on who pays the most, Tudor are the likely ones if Omega ever let go.
