James Bond's Subs!

moviefreak · 29 November 2009, 12:25 PM

Sub..

WatchTimes · 29 November 2009, 12:31 PM

I had a friend that had a Sub, tons of Subs in my area growing up.
I fell in love with the SD.
My first Rolex was a SS DJ, several years later I bought a SD :)

dcash0615 · 29 November 2009, 12:32 PM

Sub LV

Art 1 · 29 November 2009, 12:39 PM

The blue 16613 was my first but the black dial Explorer 2 is what sparked my interest.

moviefreak · 29 November 2009, 12:41 PM

I can bet no one is saying Leopard Daytona...

OrchidDR · 29 November 2009, 12:43 PM

This beauty: the GMT II on a TT Oyster. The moment I saw it, I KNEW!

NYC6 · 29 November 2009, 12:45 PM

As a young boy growing up in the 60's-70's watching Bond movies and reading the Fleming books there was only one for me, The Submariner.

RREngr · 29 November 2009, 12:46 PM

James Bond's Submariner did it for me, never had the money though. Now at 55 I finally quit messin around with rolex-like watches and pulled the trigger on my first Rolex, a brand new TT ceramic sub, thanks for asking, Mike.

the one in my avatar.

karmatp · 29 November 2009, 01:01 PM

Really all the SS sport models and the history behind them, the rest have never done anything for me.

JBat · 29 November 2009, 01:07 PM

Submariners, no question.

Phill (UK) · 29 November 2009, 01:14 PM

Another one for the 16613 Bluesy

Loved that watch ever since I was a kid... and this week, some 30 years later, I finally got one

chriseskew24 · 29 November 2009, 01:22 PM

I always admired the classic design of the datejust.. I remember being about 13-14 and going into a AD and falling in love right then and there with a DJ. Took many years before I actually had one though..

NavitimerNut · 29 November 2009, 01:30 PM

The Daytona is what brought me to the brand.

jrssv · 29 November 2009, 01:35 PM

Maybe it's my age but I have admired the datejust for a long time. It was my first Rolex and when I wear my SS with the Jubilee bracelet and the white gold bezel I have trouble taking my eyes off of it.

RFXMM · 29 November 2009, 01:36 PM

An IP in advanced combat skills had a GMT and I set a goal to be better than him and have a GMT. Funny thing is that I was wearing a pretty cool Speedmaster I had picked up at the PX and felt it was a placeholder till I got a GMT. My wife wears the Speedy 20 years later with no service and calls it her boyfriend watch.

Erix · 29 November 2009, 01:39 PM

Submariner!!

Mxf255 · 29 November 2009, 01:39 PM

Damavand · 29 November 2009, 01:41 PM

My dream watch was a TT jubilee Datejust..... Just pure class...!!

mb hawaii · 29 November 2009, 01:58 PM

My cousin had a TT Daytona. Was hooked as soon as I saw it.

deserted · 29 November 2009, 02:10 PM

I do a lot of swimming and my wife bought my first rolex for our anniversary this year and after that i went daytona , since then there is only one more i need to complete my collection of rolex and it's coming in 2010!

My sub will always be close to my heart......

i2onnel · 29 November 2009, 02:21 PM

Submariner.

BealeAss · 29 November 2009, 02:22 PM

It was always the Sub and the Daytona for me.

cobblecanyon · 29 November 2009, 02:30 PM

For me, it was the GMT II C.

ducatidoc · 29 November 2009, 02:40 PM

20+ years ago, after wearing a slew of fakes and knock-offs, I knew which one I was going for, just had to come up with the fundage:

The ol' gal still looks good for her age and mileage, but she doesn't get out like she used to.
