2531.80 holds value because Pierce Brosnan is the best James Bond and GoldenEye kicks ass. Everybody wants the automatic version of that watch. Myself included.
He had one good movie, and then possibly the best pre credits opening sequence (Tomorrow). And... possibly Christmas was the best Bond girl...
So.... isn't it a good thing that older models hold onto value? We can't have it both ways: they can't both be cheaper to purchase and hold onto value.
Also... gotta say there's something to a bit of bartering possibly going a long way. Just because it's listed at a certain price, doesn't mean you wind up paying that price.
tooth bottom left is ziphodont. Allosaur? If not, what therapod? Nice fossils as a whole with the palm and the megalodon tooth.
They are! You have a good eye. The "King Daddy" Colt at the top is the uncommonly seen Colt Model 1905, the Model 1911's predecessor which introduced the .45 ACP cartridge. The rest begin with a 1916 vintage British military contract pistol in .455 S.L. and ends with the ugly two tone .38 Super that dates to 2020. All are Colts saving for a single Remington Rand U.S. contract Model 1911-A1 from 1944.
Timothy Dalton never gets any credit.....
Personally I鈥檓 not a mad fan of the gen 2 version either, though they did introduce the black dial option with that release. Previously you had to get a sword hands model to get that. The third gen does feel like a step up in quality but lost the waves so on that basis alone is sub optimal despite the bezel etc improvement. For me the pecking order is:
1st Gen Blake
1st Gen Bond
4th Gen (current)
3rd Gen ie SMPc
2nd Gen ie 2500 red text.
I鈥檝e owned them all bar G3, and am about to receive my first SMPc so maybe my opinion will change, we鈥檒l see.
The aluminum bezels take away to much to me compared to the the ceramic ones. 4th gen and 3rd gen all the way.
Well.... The Problem with License to Kill is that it was a GREAT 80s action film- but it shouldn't have been a Bond film. And the Living Daylights is kinda just ok (much, MUCH better than any of the Roger Moore films). But there's no doubt that The bond films were on a downward slide when Dalton took the helm, and neither he nor the scripts of his two films, did anything to change the general perception of James Bond in the public eye.
That said.... there's equally zero doubt that Brosnan's GoldenEye did absolutely supercharge Bond again. The strength of that movie and the weakness of the Brosnan's movies following that probably helped make Dalton's films look better- but if they had been the last, I don't think they'd be remember well.
Here I go again.
Roger Moore is the ultimate Bond, best stunts, stories, humor and everything is over the top, like it should be.
Craig can play some Bergmann type film with all his feelings and dark tortured mind (and balls). I mean playing cards for an hour, what kind of Bond film is that! The parcour opening was great thou.
Didn't Roger Moore get less screen time than his stunt double in View to a kill? 馃槈
But seriously.... he was my favorite when I was a kid. Jaws was Jar Jar binks before Jar Jar Binks!
