Submariner British Army Ref

Submariner British Army Ref. 5517In 1962, the first movie of 007 CIA, Dr.No finally appeared, and what Sean Connery wore was still Submariner (Ref.6538 or 5508?). It is said that Rolex did not want to give a Submariner to Sean Connery as a gift, so the director Albert Broccoli had to give his own Submariner which had replaced the bezel with NATO to Sean Connery to wear in the movie. Just because of this famous story, today there are also a lot of watch lovers changing their original Submarinersr steel bezel into NATO cloth bezel. Later, in several 007 movies including "From Russia with love" of 1963"Goldfinger"of 1964, "Thunderball" of 1965 and even "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" of 1969, what 007 wore were all Submariner. But in "You only live twice" of 1967 and "Diamond are forever" of 1971, scenes of 007 wearing watch did not appear.
