Porsche is long gone!

I'm a big fan of Rolex sport models. I want to replace my GMTIIC and I'd like one of the last proper Seadwellers (not that horrendous Deepsea thing - no offence to anyone who has one). And if money were no object I'd love one of the new white gold Daytonas.

If I'm not mistaken Phil Mitchell wears a stainless steel submariner doesn't he? How sad that I know that.  Past (too many to list, but a few favs)...
2007 Porsche 997 C2S Coupe
2007 FFRR 4.2 S/C
2012 Jag XKR 5.0 S/C
2014 Merc SL500 AMG 4.7 V8 BiTurbo (remapped to 560BHP)
2011 FFRR 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE - Overfinch Conversion
2012 Porsche Cayenne Turbo
2018 AMG C63S Estate
2015 Mercedes GLE63S
2017 Maserati Levante Diesel
2017 Audi A6 Avant 3.0 Black Edition

Well I wear a Steel Rolex Submariner with Black Bezel and Face. I'm neither a thug or scrap merchant. It goes rather well with my suits, although I do wear tailored and not off-the-peg!

I always thought thugs & Phil Mitchell would be a Gold Rolex kind of person a bit like Del Boy. Anyway James Bond wore a SS Sub

Easy to say...

+1 for Steel Rolex Submariner with Black Bezel and Face - non-date version, clean faced.
And no i also am not a second division thug or scrap metal merchant.

I feel left out I only have one £35 watch which I wear every day ( It was reduced in the sale from £89 ) and when it breaks I will get another only got two wrists and wearing watch on both just look silly  Mine was a blue one!

I reckon the Eberhard Traversetolo Vitre is the perfect FFRR watch - black face, SS case and glass back with tan leather strap! Gorgeous like my FFRR!!

Now you're opening a can of worms! Apparently it's only in Casino Royale where his watch gets a mention - and that's only because he has to replace it...

Well as an 80's child most of my Bond experience has come from the films (at Christmas usually) and not the books. Hence why I like the Sub as modelled by Roger Moore / Sean Connery: http://www.blessthisstuff.com/stuff/wear/w...n-auction/

Mines a Sub-Date though as I love the "flick" it does near midnight (just under 4 mins before for me), and the "Cyclops" magnification.

My fave watch is the IWC Portugese (original blue hands on blue croc, not the newer "sport" versions). I also have a couple of Mondaines, Invicta and Storm watches from times past. I've only just started to find examples of Poljot's I'd actually buy, so hopefully should have one of those soon.

Well I've got the green faced and ceramic bezeled Submariner and I love it!

Oh and an old (10 years) bi metal Submariner, so I guess I'm a double diamond geezer! Cor blimey!
 Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
Had- 2008 TDV8 Vogue SE in Java black
Had - 2007 S/C in Stornoway Grey

Sounds like a Sub is the FFRR watch then. Some people buy it for the rugged engineering and some buy it just because everyone else knows its expensive. Does this mean that a SSRR would have a Bell & Ross as a watch? Looks ok from the outside but underneath it's just a bought-in generic movement
