hi thereTv Show N.c.i.s Agent Gibbs Sports A Explorer Ii White Face.
Quite true, he was wearing a Breitling analoge/digital in Broken Arrow :roll:In the film Swordfish, look carefully when Stanley first meets Gabriel (John Travolta) in the club. You can get a glimpse of what I think is a Sub-date in stainless on JT's wrist.|>
If you watch when JT leaves the club when he talks to Vinney Jones, you get a couple of slightly better views and can just get a glimpse of the Cyclops as he talks to Stanley.
This always surprised me as John Travolta is a well-known pilot owning several aircraft, including a 757, so I would have thought he would have worn a Breitling. In fact I think I have seen his wearing Breitlings on other occasions. :think: Interesting………………:-s
Nice write up Gary:-! I thinks its also mentioned here that Lazenby, Moore and Dalton all had the subs as well.James Bond
Wristwatches have always been part of the secret agent's accouterments. Long before James Bond ever appeared on the big screen, Ian Fleming in his novels had already issued James Bond with a wristwatch. In "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", Bond uses his Rolex as a knuckle-duster and breaks his watch. Contemplating on a replacement watch, Bond thinks, "A Rolex? Probably. They were on the heavy side, but they work. And at least you could see the time in the dark with those big phosphorous numerals".
When James Bond progressed from novel to film his watch could now be seen. In Dr. No, Sean Connery is clearly seen wearing a Rolex Submariner. This watch is described in Dowling & Hess' book. Rolex Reference No. 6538 or 5508 is now known as the James Bond Submariner. Bond's arch enemies also wear interesting timepieces. Three worth mentioning are Donald "Red" Grant, Goldfinger and Scaramanga.
Grant, an assassin played by Robert Shaw in From Russia With Love, has an unnamed wristwatch that has a retractable thin wire garrote. This watch is seen for the second time in another Bond movie, On Her Majesty's Secret Service. George Lazenby picks up the watch from the top drawer of his desk with other mementos and contemplates leaving the Secret Service.
In the novel "From Russia With Love", Grant's watch is very well described. "There was also a bulky gold wristwatch on a well-used crocodile strap. It was a Girard-Perregaux model designed for people who like gadgets, and it had a sweep second-hand and two little windows in the face to tell the day of the month , and the month, and the phase of the moon".
Gert Frobe who plays Goldfinger obviously wears a gold watch but which I cannot identify. Christopher Lee who plays Scaramanga in The Man With The Golden Gun, is more than likely wearing a Rolex Cellini King Midas.
Listed below are the watches seen in the James Bond movies.
Dr. No (1962) - A Rolex Submariner.
From Russia With Love (1963) - A Rolex Submariner.
Goldfinger (1964) - Rolex Submariner which is beautifully illuminated by Sean Connery's lighter. Honor Blackman wears a Rolex GMT when piloting Goldfinger's jet.
Thunderball (1965) - Rolex Submariner
