Thanks for sharing! I can’t imagine buying a solid gold watch with a 007 on the seconds hand... such a shame they didn’t restrain themselves from using Bond-branding on the front of the watch.
After seeing the non gold edition in person I was very surprised at how little I noticed the 007 on the seconds hand. Not saying I would buy one, but it disappears unless you are looking for it. The dial itself on this model is truly the most beautiful part IMHO
Having a navy uniform come with your watch is REALLY weird but otherwise, they seem to be great ultra collectible pieces on what is already limited.
Don’t non-military people get arrested/their asses kicked for wearing a military uniform out in public? IMO they’re just asking for trouble here
The prices realised were pretty strong, don’t know if it was the watches or the memorabilia, not my cup of tea but there is obviously a strong market, even if the standard ‘limited edition’ is easily available at a discount.
You have clearly never been to Goodwood Revival! This uniform would be perfect to-go for a Paddock visit....but perhaps wearing my old JLC Mk11
In Canada, it is a criminal offence...and there are organizations, such as the Stolen Valor/Valour folks, who take the time to hunt down and expose people who fraudulently claim to be members of the armed forces or veterans. Criminal Code of Canada (CCC) - Unlawful Use Of Military Uniforms or Certificates 419. Every one who without lawful authority, the proof of which lies on him, (a) wears a uniform of the Canadian Forces or any other naval, army or air force or a uniform that is so similar to the uniform of any of those forces that it is likely to be mistaken therefor, (b) wears a distinctive mark relating to wounds received or service performed in war, or a military medal, ribbon, badge, chevron or any decoration or order that is awarded for war services, or any imitation thereof, or any mark or device or thing that is likely to be mistaken for any such mark, medal, ribbon, badge, chevron, decoration or order, (c) has in his possession a certificate of discharge, certificate of release, statement of service or identity card from the Canadian Forces or any other naval, army or air force that has not been issued to and does not belong to him, or (d) has in his possession a commission or warrant or a certificate of discharge, certificate of release, statement of service or identity card, issued to an officer or a person in or who has been in the Canadian Forces or any other naval, army or air force, that contains any alteration that is not verified by the initials of the officer who issued it, or by the initials of an officer thereto lawfully authorized, is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction. R.S., c. C-34, s. 377.
Al, I am constantly amazed at the breadth of esoterica you have a grasp of. Any thoughts about coming down our way for an appearance on "Jeopardy"?
Not really esoterica for me...former member of the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps - Armoured Reconnaissance. Cheers, Al
Personally i think anyone wanting to wear uniform that aren't serving are just sad. After 12 years I couldn't wait to hand mine in and get a life back.
There was a guy arrested and charged for hanging around one of the Veteran’s Memorials in Ottawa a couple of years ago. It was shortly after a terrorist attack on one of the ceremonial guards of the memorial who died from the attack. A Vet noticed the guy wearing a uniform improperly during a tv interview and called him out. Turned out he wasn’t and had never been in the Canadian Forces.
