I have to admit that I am over exited about finally getting back my 5513 from service. So I decided to watch 007 - Live and Let Die to prepare myself for the big moment. While I expected to see nothing but the 5513 and its famous magnet/saw complication, I noticed three scenes in which James is wearing something that definitely is not a Submariner. A quick research led to no results. Let's discuss 5513 for reference: Unknown watch:
I can only assume he wears the Tissot when assuming his alias of James St.John Smyth....yeah, I grew up on the Moore era bonds. Saw Moonraker in the theater...my first on the big screen.
Guys this is excellent work all round! I can see now there have been a few articles written about this in the recent past so this seems to be a relatively new spotting. 2 questions then- 1 how do we know it was Roger's own watch? 2 how can the precise model/execution be ascertained-date worn/bracelet design/further screen shots etc? Having had a quick look it does seem he wore the Tissot very interchangeably with the Rolex on set-both off-camera and during filming, so it underlines it (speculatively still) being his own watch which he preferred to wear when not 'allowed' to wear the Rolex.

I found this picture of Roger Moore which shows him off-Set at one of the scenes mentioned in my initial post. Might help to find out more details about the watch. https://www.lifestyle.com.au/content/roger-moore-live-and-let-die.jpg
Two additional behind the scenes photos that sho the watch. I think @JwRosenthal is right spotting a PR 516
This is probably the main thread I found so far... https://twitter.com/philnobilejr/status/1065638537188581376?lang=en The photos you've found are some goodies. There are plenty more too which I found today so I'm sure we can crack it.. (I may not be able to post the other pics for copyright reasons but happy to share on DM.) A couple in particular show (apparently) the same Tissot at the press event that RM will be the new bond. (so pre-filming obviously) and there is also one from 1975 showing him wearing it too.....
