Hodinkee in Jaeger-LeCoultre Monday, October 18, 2010 at 7:49AM Earlier today we showed you one of the earliest Rolex Daytonas you'll ever come across, dating back to 1963 and having a rare 300 unit bezel (we're nerds, we know it).While many believe the Daytona to be the grand-daddy of the luxury (steel) sport watch game, you mustn't forget the great yachting watches of the 1970s.

It should come as no surprise that the replica Breitling A253 Men's watch he's worn often take on lives of their own, and we are talking about the non-sponsored watches (e.g.Omegas of recent years).In fact, there is a wonderful website out there based on ALL of the watches worn by everyone's favorite smooth-talking, Aston-driving, lady-loving, gentleman spy, and all other characters in both the Bond novels and films.It is available at jamesbondwatches, and the associated blog at jamesbondwatches.blogspot.

We are talking about the Genta-designed A Lange & Sohne Saxonia Automatik watch Royal Oak and Patek Philippe Nautilus.These were the first true luxury sport watches that were marketed as such.They both used a JLC-based movement and we've gone into the details in the past (see here and here), but today we've found one of these original Jumbos for sale in great shape, and you guys need to know about it.

the original James Bond is the one worn by replica Breitling A7438010 Men's watch

Both are authored by a true expert.you'll find information on dozens of watches you didn't even know were featured in any Bond movies.It is really a great resource.Perhaps the watch most associated with the original James Bond is the one worn by replica Breitling A7438010 Men's watch Mr.Sean Connery in the 1962 film Dr.No, a Rolex Submariner.There are two reference numbers associated with the "James Bond" Submariner; 6538 (which we featured here) and the watch we have found for you today, reference 5508.

Compare it to the Maîtres du Temps Chapter One, for A Lange & Sohne Grand Lange 1 watch example and you'll see that even though it has many more complications and over twice as many parts (the Chapter one is made of 558 components), it is a much more refined watch.Now, for the $2.5miilon price tag of Grand Sonnerie, the 30 buyers of this watch also receive a Gyrotourbillon and the Reverso a Tryptique, along with a 2,600 pound Doettling safe.The entire package is entitled the Hybris Mechanica 55, for the combined 55 complications among the three timepieces.

Yes we have found an original Rolex Sub actually from the very same year Dr.No was released, which adds a little something special to this replica Breitling Windrider Chronomat watch piece.It comes on a striped NATO strap and is in all original condition.The dial is a little aged and there is definitely some wear on the case (perhaps from fighting some Russian thugs?), but we think that only adds to the appeal of this Rolex.This is a man's watch, worn by the epitome of masculinity in popular culture, this is exactly how it should look.

complication A Lange & Sohne Watch Aeternitas Mega 4

Last year, Franck Muller took the title with its 25-complication A Lange & Sohne Watch Aeternitas Mega 4, and then when they heard about the Grand Sonnerie with 26, Muller decided, all of a sudden, that theirs would have 36 complications despite the fact the watch was already in production (for more details on that, click here).To us, this Jaeger (which may or may not be the world's most complicated), is one of the few hyper-complex watches that, after all the engineering, all the toiling, and all the hype, is still compelling.

Hodinkee in Carrera, Heuer, Rolex, Rolex Daytona, Vintage replica Breitling A4935011-F5-36 Men's watch Wednesday, October 28, 2009 at 10:13AM As you probably know, Rolex has their hand in some great sporting events across the world, and to the winner typically goes a watch.One such event is the Rolex Swan Cup Regatta hosted in Costa Smeralda biennially, and as you may remember, we actually found a Swan Cup winner's Rolex Explorer.Today we've come across another former champion's Rolex, and this time prize reflects the venue precisely.

Part of that has to to do with JLC's history as a true A Lange & Sohne Men's watch brand.Think about where you see Jaeger movements and you'll see what we mean; think original Patek Nautilus and AP Royal Oak, think modern-day Vacheron Overseas and RO Dual-Time, for example - Jaeger movements are some of the best in the world.This particular movement, all 1300 components of it, is a stunning display of complexity.
