Rolex, James Bond Rolex
There's been a really interesting surge lately in focus on the Rolex and James Bond watch association. I've enjoyed both the parts where I've been somewhat on the front end of things, as well as the great sleuthing that's been shared in the open Forums as well as in our "James Bond Watches" Social Group on TRF.
For several years now, I've been putting stuff on my website, but not indexing it for organized access specific to "Rolex." Mostly that's been due to my bent that I really want to make sure information is verified ten-ways-to-Tuesday before saying, "here's the thing." But I did Post LINKs to specific pages when it seemed applicable to Threads I've answered, and it comes up via Internet Searches. Over the last few months in particular, my stuff has come up enough that I figure it's time to provide fuller access to it at the source (at least insofar as what I've put on the "public" folders there). I want folks to know about it, to weigh in. That's a lot the reason I come here: Sharing the search. So, enough said. Here's the LINK Have fun! http://www.jamesbondwatches.com/index-rolex.htm

Added the URL, which works for me, although the URL behind the word "LINK" (which is the same) does not work for me, either. Go figure.
The "LINK" word still doesn't work for me, but thanks for trying. Quote:

Thanks, guys!
Glad to see folks enjoying this.
Additionally, I'm starting to create and update pages I've created for Image groupings on the various James Bond and James Bond-related wristwatches. There continues to be some question as to whether the 16610 reference was actually the watch worn by Timothy Dalton as 007 in Licence to Kill, or if it was a generation or two earlier than that. Irrespective, here's the page where I am Posting images of the more or less current Rolex Submariner Date: LINK Six different ratio and resolution sizes are included if you want to use them for your desktop, and I've included three smaller ones for use in Posts, like the one I put here, above.
