Well said, Dell. After spending time PERSONALLY with Mr Deaton and hearing the first hand stories of how much time and ...well, other things, were sacrificed to get Mr Flemings personal 1016 here stateside for everyone to enjoy...I have NO DOUBT that Dell has nothing to gain and simply is passionate about this subject..as we all are about watches. Imwont go into detail as to what Dell has done to allow us all to enjoy and appreciate the history and rarest of rare artifacts of the bond world IN PERSON because well...those are his memories..and his special moments...however I will say this...a man who sat down to dinner with the Fleming family...knows quite a bit more than perhaps we are giving him credit for. I personally am thrilled to see bond and rolex reunited! And a 34mm watch makes perfect sense,,,just as the 1016 did ...small...maybe..but certainly perfect for maneuvering as a spy should...and IMO a sub would have been to bulky for bond and to difficult to remove with it's clasp to be used as a weapon, etc...and it's moving bezel could creat sounds that would give the agent away...hence fixed bezel on the 1016 and OP date...and yes Dell...mine is closer! Hahaha...all in good fun of course!
