"... what makes this one interesting and a rarity,” commented Halifax Mill Auctioneers owner and lead auctioneer James Watson in The Halifax Courier, “is that the watch was physically used for and is on-screen within Pierce Brosnan's 1997 007 classic, Tomorrow Never Dies. The watch features an inscription to its reverse, of 'Tomorrow Never Dies '97', and was a gift from Pierce to the film's main bad guy, Richard Stamper, played by Gotz Otto. The lot features all of the associated provenance and paperwork that you would expect, and has arrived with Halifax Mill from a Lancashire collector, in addition to the gentleman's collection of first edition Ian Fleming Bond classics."
Other Bond auction lots include a Swatch 40th Anniversary case and first edition Ian Fleming novels
