The James Bond Submariner - Rolex 6538

Daniel Craig will still be James Bond.The Rolex 6538—AKA the Bond Submariner, AKA the Rolex Big Crown Submariner—remains hugely sought after by collectors.More replica Rolex Submariner watches.

Connery wore the classic Submariner during the filming of Dr. No, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, and Thunderball, forever cementing its position as an icon of that era. The watch performed numerous tasks that helped 007 complete the mission at hand, and through each film it appears on a variety of different strap combinations. Produced between 1954 and 1959, few of these gems have survived unscathed, and are often seen fetching between $200,000 and over $500,000 at auction in recent years.

Powered by Rolex’s caliber 1030 self-winding movement, the 38mm cased Submariner’s proportions are falling back into favor in recent years. Other than some heavy patina on its indices and the often scuffed bezel insert, a pristine example is the sort of thing that could almost pass for a modern reissue.
