I know Gumba Johnny has his eyes set on one of these!!:D August 23, 2005 1972 Royal Navy MOD Sub Filed under: Reviews, Rolex — john @ 6:19 pm  Adam at EoT found this incredible-looking Rolex. Looks like something James Bond wore in basic training. “Large stainless steel case, with brushed case sides, fixed strap bars, screw down Rolex crown, and acrylic crystal. Fitted with the 60 minute marker bezel unique to the military issue Rolex Submariner. Screw case back with military issue markings. Original black dial with luminous dot and baton hour markers, outer minute marks, and signed Rolex Oyster Perpetual, 660ft=200m, Submariner, and Swiss T-25, with a white T in a circle. Original white metal sword hour hand, pencil minute hand, and arrow centre seconds hand. Nickel plated Rolex calibre 1520 movement with hacking seconds (seconds hand stops when the winder is pulled out to allow time synchronisation). The watch is fitted with a NATO-style nylon strap. It is estimated that around 1,250 Rolex Submariner watches (ref. 5513 and 5517) were bought by the British Ministry of Defence and issued up until the late 1970s. Model ref. 5513″ |

Very cool... and for a little humor to go with... An old Mafia Don is dying and he calls his grandson to his bed. “You listen to me. I want you to take my chrome plated 38 revolver so you will always remember me. “But grandpa, I really don’t like guns. How about you leave me your Rolex watch instead?” “Shut up an listen. Some day you’re going to run the business, you’re going to have a beautiful wife, lots of money, a big home and maybe a couple a bambinos. And, some day you’re going to come home and maybe find your wife in bed with another man. What are you going to do then…. point to your Rolex and a say, times up?”  |

I'm pretty sure James Bond used his Oyster Perpetual to smash a bad guy's face in one of the early Fleming books. |

They supposedly had been following him in the mall so he knew he might be attacked. So, he was ready for them. To make the story short - he kicked their a$$, but they managed to rip the Invicta off his wrist. :shock: He bragged that they thought they got an expensive watch, but he kicked butt and they only got a inexpensive Invicta. I think it was an Oject'd Art or something akin to that. cat28.gif |
