A look that never quite caught on. A shame, really.Is there any excuse for this? I mean, "Q" has outfitted 007 with watches that have geiger counters, ticker tape machines, mini buzz saws, lasers, explosive compartments, etc. not to mention gadgets of every sort that were "state of the art" at the time. So how did this happen? How did the pride of MI6, the most successful spy ever wind up with this watch strap on a Rolex Submariner?
The strap isn't too small, the watch is too big.Maybe nobody thought it was important or thought it mattered. Maybe there was only enough money in the budget for mini submarines and frisbee hats. Or maybe all the cool kids were wearing their watches that way, not like those uptight establishment squares who wear the correct sized straps with their watches. After all, it was the mid 60s, man.
That's what I'm talking about.
ReplyDeletePeople on eBay even comment in how the Nato James Bond Bands that they sell will actually fit the Submariner properly.
