Rolex Submariner

Picture
The digital watch didn’t last long – Miss Moneypenny is the next in what is quickly becoming a very crowded house at an unearthly time of day.
Along with his tickets to New York, 007 is handed a watch that Q had repaired for him; a 5513 Rolex Submariner.

The UK was facing tough times and in 1973 many were faced with three day working weeks. M takes time out to remark upon Bond’s wanton excesses, “I am sure the over-burdened British taxpayer will be fascinated to know how the special ordinance section disperses its funds. In future Commander, allow me to suggest a perfectly adequate watch-maker, just down the street.”
And with that, 007 promptly pulls M’s spoon from his saucer with the extremely powerful magnet within his watch’s bezel. “You see, by pulling out this button sir, it turns the watch into a hyper-intensified magnetic field, powerful enough to even deflect the path of a bullet.”

Well actually James, we know you’re over-compensating in front of your boss, but even he will know that lead bullets cannot be deflected by any magnet, unless they have steel jackets.
It can pull the zip of a dress down, no handsies though, as Miss Caruso would quickly learn.
The highly versatile time-piece can also be used as a high powered electric saw.

Second Hand Rolex Watches

The Watch Hut retails both new and secondary market watches. The extra rare watches, such as literally all of the James Bond Rolex Subamariners are ordered via a registration process.
Express your interest and they will use their contacts to get the watch in stock for you as soon as they can.
As these watches usually sell for in excess of £5,000, they are sure to want to help!
