This should have been the new Bond combo

I know, it's not 100% traditional, but it is very practical.

The Sig and Daytona are nice, but I'm more old-school and prefer the Walther ppk/s and the SS-Sub Date, Mr. Bond needs the rotating bezel so it could cut through ropes, handcuffs, ect.

Mr. Bond wore a real Submariner, he would never need to know the date.

Well, if we do want to be purists, it would be a Beretta 418 instead of a PPK.

I would think that a GMT would be more practical for Mr Bond ?

You guys are nuts!

When did Connery ever bother with that bubble on the crystal of his watch? About half past NEVER!!

Looks like a Walther P99 with a supressor and a black Omega Planet Ocean in the new Bond film..

If it were up to me he would be carrying a Sig 226 and a PAM 88.

All Bond (or any other spy) would need is a simple .22 and always remember to pull the trigger twice at a time in quick succesion.

As for what watch, the brand is inconsequential since Q would take the guts out of the watch to install all the gagetry.

John, with seven in the box and one in the pipe, double-tapping's probably not a good idea.

Hmmm, maybe I should have used my vintage 5513 on a NATO band in the picture? Nah, I was going for a more modern look!

You need to either not talk out of both sides of your mouth or only let one personality post baldie.

You yourself have stated that Connery is the only real Bond, well he never wore a Sub-Date, only the real Submariner. So which is it, Connery is a fraud, or you??????

You really need to up the dosage on your meds dipwad.

This thread was talking about Bond and his watch gun combo. You said that Bond should wear a Sub-Date, or the non original sub, I said he should wear the real Submariner, like Connery.

What the hell does that have to do with you. other than you have the same haircut as Dr. Evil and Mini-me.
