Going to a black tie event tonight and cannot decide which Bond watch to wear.

Roger Moore 5513 sub on rivet OR Sean Connery 6538 Big crown on NATO.

Some advise would be appreciated

Gina Marie · 29 January 2017, 03:38 AM

There is only one Bond.....with another somewhat close (Craig). No brainer.

Hahaha, but they BOTH go so well with a tux..

6538 and be sure to check the time to the glow of your lighter...

Hahaha... But the "Roger Moore" might come in handy with its "buzz saw" feature incase I get in a jam?

Wesley Crusher · 29 January 2017, 04:49 AM

Do what a true WIS would do and wear both!

yannis · 29 January 2017, 05:13 AM

Sean and 6538 i.e. the real thing.
Great watches man!

subtona · 29 January 2017, 05:17 AM

Great pair.

Love the big crown but wondering if the NATO will fit under the shirt sleeve as well as the bracelet?

this is what I'm wondering? I feel like a 6538 would always be the no brainer but tonight with the tux, I'm wondering if the Roger Moore is the way to go?

Wow. Flip a coin.

Boaters · 29 January 2017, 07:16 AM

WOW now thats a hard one what a couple of absolute beauties!!!

droptopman · 29 January 2017, 07:17 AM

Great pair. Beautiful examples. Bracelet more formal. I like the big crown and Connery better but the 5513 with bracelet better for a formal event

Or put the bracelet on the big crown.

thomaspp · 29 January 2017, 07:29 AM

Very nice!

this is what i'm thinking. I could wear I different piece all together, but I insisted I go as Bond tonight.

call me crazy, I promised myself the 6538 would never see a bracelet because it looks too darn good on a nato.

I'd rather have dinner with Roger Moore, but prefer Connery's watch...that chapter ring is just outstanding.

AK797 · 29 January 2017, 09:45 AM

Wear both, you'll be the talk of the soiree, half will think you are a hero, the other half will think you mad... just like our James.

Rebel · 29 January 2017, 09:51 AM

Share a pic from the event.

SubKing · 29 January 2017, 10:35 AM

I couldn't decide between the two so I went with the tie breaker!

Wesley Crusher · 29 January 2017, 10:45 AM

Rebel · 29 January 2017, 10:51 AM

Dang. I was thinking you would go with Sean.

SubKing · 29 January 2017, 11:16 AM

Hahaha, oh come on, it's not that bad.

It's actually all my wife's fault.

She saw me still deciding when I got dressed so she pulled the ceramic off my winder and said I couldn't go wrong.

themaninblack · 29 January 2017, 11:45 AM

Lovely watches but with a tuxedo, a WG Day-Date.

twnturbo · 29 January 2017, 12:04 PM

Very nice "shaken not stirred "

MATCH1969 · 29 January 2017, 03:55 PM

Too difficult choice

amazing pieces

timemachines · 29 January 2017, 04:04 PM

Big Crown IMO

Nsx_23 · 29 January 2017, 08:15 PM

The correct answer is one on each wrist.

rmlovett1 · 29 January 2017, 10:55 PM

Tough choice, can't go wrong! Those are beautiful!!

Mike Wood · 30 January 2017, 08:29 AM

Well, that's the wrong NATO to do the Sean 007 thing...so it's gotta be the fifty-five thirteen.

Not being critical, just a friendly opinion, since you asked.
