The way Bond likes his eggs boiled follow the directions set in French culinary classic; Larousse Gastronomique, first published in 1938. So it would be quite on brand for Ian Fleming to have adopted this for Bond and his "fad for perfect boiled egg" You have to keep in mind that hens eggs were markedly smaller in those days, so in order to get exactly same results you will have to compensate for the size difference, or find very small (for modern standard) organic eggs.
