Hodinkee in James Bond Rolex, Rolex, replica Bell & Ross BR0192DCAR-BLK-SL Ladie's watch Submariner, Vintage Tuesday, May 26, 2009 at 8:38AM Back from a week jumping islands abroad, we felt it best to feature a watch that would make a perfect traveling companion for a man who does this as a career.We are talking about the spies among us, but of course not just any spy, we are talking about James Bond.Now we're sure you guys know about the original Sean Connery Rolex, and of course the Daniel Craig watches, but today we've found a totally different James Bond watch, one we've never seen before.And guess what.
it features two spy scopes, a jump hour replica Bell & Ross BR0196D-BLK-SL Ladie's watches movement, and a world-time dial, everything you need to survive in the tough, tough world of international espionage (minus the Aston Martin, Walther PPK , and of course a hunnie or two.The watch was made by Gilbert in the 1960s as somewhat of a toy, although it is actually of considerable quality.Before this watch, Gilbert had been James Bond action figures.The watch itself measures an enormous 60mm in size, has two "sighting" scopes that can be pulled up from the large plate-case, and features an easy to read jump hour (or "digital") display, and even a world-time feature.
This Gilbert even features a SWISS movement, a mechanical one at that, not bad for a "toy".It comes on the original ivy replica Bell & RossVintage 120 V120BEI-SB Men striped NATO strap, the perfect compliment to this watch.You can find these watches for sale on ebay for around $600 but they are typically pretty beaten up, the one we have found today is completely unused and comes with all original documentation.It is being offered at $995, which may be a little aggressive, but then again James Bond fans are some of the most dedicated collectors in the world and we can guarantee someone is willing to pay that price.
