James Bond's Rolex Submariner Surfaces at Auction

In a year of big Rolex Submariner news, now we have another Rolex Submariner, once worn on the wrist of a Hollywood stuntman, up for auction On the heels of Phillips's announcement that it would no longer be auctioning off Steve McQueen's Submariner, Fellows has announced it has a James Bond Rolex Submariner ref Before modern-day Bond became an Omega fan, he was a loyal devotee to Rolex from the time Sean Connery first cemented the relationship between the watchmaker and 007 in 1962's Dr.

No Fellows ref In the film, the Rolex can be seen on Bond's wrist in a scene where he's behind the wheel of a tanker truck during a car chase in Mexico.

Coincidentally, the year that Licence to Kill debuted was the last year the Rolex ref The model had one of the longest manufacturing runs of any Rolex ever produced, having been manufactured from 1962 to 1989 5513 worn by Roger Moore in the 1973 thriller Live and Let Die for $365,000, and while the Fellows Submariner wasn't worn by Licence to Kill's leading man, given the current Rolex market at auction, it will likely fetch well above its estimate.
