They showed 'Live and Let Die' on free to air TV Saturday night (I don't have cable TV

).

Anyway, I don't know if my eyes deceived me but Roger Moore had on a 5512 Sub which did some quite amazing things such as becoming a band saw and a super electro-magnet.

Anyway his watch had an Oyster bracelet in all scenes except the speedboat scene when for some reason it seemed to quite surprisingly transition to a Jubilee bracelet and then transition back to an Oyster bracelet for the following scene.

It was quite funny when James Bond was asked by a bad guy to tell the bad guy if the serial number read out from the back of the watch was true or false as everyone knows there isn't a serial number on the caseback of a Submariner

That's interesting! I should rewatch these old flicks now that I have some knowledge of Rolex. I definitely need to get that Sub with a bandsaw!

BTW, it's nice to know that someone else in the universe doesn't have cable. I cut the cord 6 months ago and really find that it's no big deal. I spend too much time surfing watch forums to really miss it.

That was a cool prop watch, I read about it in one of my Rolex books.

Now I have to go and watch the movie again ( and pay attention )

Steve,
Roger was the first Bond to see the merits of both the jubilee and oyster bracelets.

Wat ahead of his time.

The case back serial number is unforgivable though.
