Year of Release: 1962
Actor who played James Bond: Sean Connery
Other notable watches: Gruen Precision 510
The connection between James Bond and Swiss made fake Rolex UK dates all the way back to Ian Fleming’s original novel, “Casino Royale,” in which the famous spy rocks the equally famous brand. Fleming took direct cues from his own personal passions, as he was often seen with a cheap replica Rolex Explorer Reference 1016 around his wrist.
According to legend, actor Sean Connery—who was the first to portray Bond—was also a devoted Rolex enthusiast. It’s actually been reported that the perfect replica Rolex Submariner worn by Connery in the inaugural Bond film came straight out of his own collection. Affixed to a leather strap, it marked the stylish debut of what would eventually become an iconic relationship.
In Dr. No’s opening scene, Bond is seen wearing the soon to be notorious Gruen Precision 510. The luxury super clone Rolex UK can barely be seen under the shirt cuff, and while it’s a more suitable addition to a tuxedo than a divers piece, this watch left many fans in the dark for years. It wasn’t until famous Bond watch researcher Dell Deaton identified the super clone watch as a Gruen Precision 510, 40 years after it first appeared on screen, that we could confirm its reference.
