Rolex Submariner 6538
A rare Rolex Submariner 6538 and a Rolex 5513, both models known to be worn by James Bond in his films, will be offered at the Bonhams Fine Watches and Wristwatches Sale in New Bond Street, London on 9 December.
Note that the watches on auction have NOT appeared in the films but are the same model.
Online Rolex watches seller Bob's Watches has started their "Fresh Finds: Iconic Watches of Hollywood" auction, featuring iconic Rolex watch models similar to the ones seen in the early Bond films, on Steve McQueen and Paul Newman.
UPDATE 27 November: auction results added at the bottom of this article.
In an online-only auction, Christie's offers three special editions of the Seamaster Commander's watch: a steel version with a YOLT naval uniform, an 18K gold version with TSWLM uniform, and a unique 18K white gold Commander's watch with the Royal Navy Ensign flag from SPECTRE, signed by Daniel Craig himself.
