From Russia with Love is my favorite 007, Istanbul and teamed up with the great Pedro Armendariz.

Wife and I just finished watching a matinee Dr No. the rest will be watched chronologically in the coming days. A martini and then some will surely be shaken during the viewings.

RIP. I was a big fan of many of his films through the years. One of the greatest of his era. He will be missed. He will always be the true and original Bond.

I think we should call the 2020 Sub No Date “The 007“

Probably the reason I fell in love with the brand as a child. RIP.

Seems like he had the means for someone else to pickup his luggage.

A self-made icon, an inspiration to many.

It's all about the journey. And Yours, Sir, was a great one.
Thank you, for making our own, that much better.
RIP

Absolutely gutted about this, I've only ever seen him in JB but he was the best for me! I quite often watch them all in order including Never Say Never Again and quite often get a tear in my eye at end of NSNA as I know it was his last.

I live 600 metres from Aston Martin Works where the original DB5's were built, and where they are building the Goldfinger replicas at the moment.

Mate of mine at work, Sean used to be here milk man many years ago, another bloke on another forum I'm on, his grandad (who is still alive) did bodybuilding with Sean.

Lived an incredible life, rest in peace!

This was such sad news. Sean was the reason I wanted a Rolex as a kid and the reason I love them now.
