James Bond’s Rolex 5513 Submariner on Auction
Here’s your chance to be just like James Bond. Christie’s will be auctioning off a genuine Rolex 5513 Submariner, as worn by Roger Moore in 1973′s Live and Let Die. Notable film buffs will be quick to ask if it features the Hyper Intensified Magnetic Field Generator & Buzz Saw Bezel like in the film. Well, you’re going to need between $230,000-$450,000 USD to find out.

I'm predisposed to breaking every single watch I own.
My parents gave me a Nixon for Christmas last year - just a basic one - "The Private".
Come March, I went to set the time an hour forward for spring, and the fucking crown came right out. I didn't even bother filing a warranty claim because the overall cost of repair would probably exceed the price paid for the watch (neighborhood of $100).
Needless to say I won't be buying a Nixon.
Looking at Citizens, though. Might go with a fabric or leather band instead of metal.
Damn br0, I need to see a collection post from you.
i posted one pages back i thought...
here is all but one of my tool watches in rotation. this photo does not include my Rolex pepsi gmt, any of my vintage Heuers, and Lange and Soehne german SS watch.
Omega 007 seamaster limited to 5007 pieces world wide
Kobold Phantom white face. rumored less then 15 in existence
Tag Heuer Carrera limited edition jeff gordon color way.
Bathys 100F UV PVD. very rare in this coating.
Ball Master Diver TMT. limited to 2006 pieces world wide
Sinn 756 Diapal GMT. rare in this configuration

eh for that price i rather rock a Bathys. plus that crown position is so awful and unpractical. kinda looks like a mix between a Sinn U1 and UX.
as for the movement your basically paying 599-700 for a movement that Citizen makes and is put inside low tier brands like Fossil. you can compare the movement so some Seiko movements. though the one they use is a new movement that i dont know much about i know its a durable and tested company but for that price i would pass or just buy a Bulova, a company with history. its a jap company trying to compete with Swiss ETA.
positives are if you are from Florida or want a US branded company time piece and cant afford a Kobold.
lum-tec is a great company and are involved in making the watch. this watch probably equal too say Invicta another Florida based watch co that is riding off the coat tails of the historic company with same name.
if you want a affordable watch that will last try
Bathys if your into rare and putting your money into a US company
Tissot (historic SWISS company making watches since 1850s
Doxa ( make great dive watches. another SWISS company since 1800s
hell you could come up on a used Heuer or Longines in the 500 range

Thanks for the advice IHU. I'll look into those watchmakers. After reading your review I think I'm gonna pass on that watch and raise my budget to 2 racks. I'm getting more interested in tactical and racing type watches also I wouldn't mind looking into any divers watches. I saw a dope looking tag carrera but I'm unsure on how to get the best deal cuz I'm a cheap fuck. Suggestions or is $2000 to low of a budget for a tactical.

2000 is a great price for a nice used tactical or diver for your first real watch that will last you a lifetime... i can help you get the best deal when you feel its time to pull the trigger on a purchase. i have only bought 2 watches in a store. online is your best bet as long as you know your shit...

Lum-Tec is a sponsor on a forum called www.luxury4play.com . You can get a special rate for being a member. Their customer service is top notch from what I have seen. They also have an option to customize on their website.
