Ian Flemming's James bond 007

I thought it might be interesting to ponder and open up to an audience my question

Ian Flemming allegedly writes that 007 wore a rolex oyster perpetual. Further that it was worn once around his fist as a knuckle duster.

Many assume that his original intentions from literary reference were that of the now explorer 1, (great great grandson anyway)- or because Flemming himself wore a 1016

Most agree that on set of the film, bond was infact handed the famous Submariner on NATO off the wrist of the director/ Mr Flemming, (cannt remember), as wardrobe couldn't go to the budget of a stage rolex.

Either way over the years , 007 has made many watches and brands famous.



The question is. If you were 007.... Or if a 'wis' was to decide on the agents most appropriate watch. What would you pick and why???
