Always a shame, but I hope I get to his age before I check out.

A great Bond, if not a little too much farce in some of it, to be my favourite, that's Connery.

RIP, an excellent Bond and a true Gentleman.
I think his Submariner in Live and Let Die set me on the road to Rolex.

Forgot to say and it should be mentioned....he was awesome in the Persuaders and the Saint.

Not so well known for his timepieces in those roles, but one of my favourite cars the Aston Martin DBS and of course the Volvo P1800.

Such sad news. Looks like we lost three greats this week: Roger Moore, Nicky Hayden and Chris Cornell.

Rest in Peace Sir Roger Moore... loved your humor..."“I only had three expressions as Bond,” he joked. “Right eyebrow raised, left eyebrow raised, and eyebrows crossed when grabbed by Jaws.”"

That's the film/watch/man that started my interest in Rolex Subs.. I wanted that very watch first time I saw it when I must have been about 5-6yrs old.. took a while, many years later I got a 14060m.

Loved his Bond films and I think he was a genuinely good guy.. rest in peace Sir Roger, you will be sadly missed. I look forward to watching your films with my children when they are older.
