The watch you see to the right is a Rolex Reference 6238 or "Pre-Daytona" chronograph.It is the very watch worn by George Lazenby in the 1969 Bond flick "On Her Majesty's Secret Service".Lazenby was the second actor to play Bond, after Sean Connery, and this watch was one of two Rolex's he wore in this film (the other was a 5513 Submariner that he actually bought to audition for the role).You can see Lazenby as Bond with the Corum 130-330-47-0133PN34 WoMen's watch on in the picture below (borrowed from JamesBondWatches), in the original animated movie post after the jump, as well as a third screen grab.
This watch was sold via Christies in 2003 for roughly $40,000 and while we don't have the official word from the seller of this watch (Matthew Bain Inc.), we have to imagine they'll be asking more than that.The funny thing is, we have no doubt this Corum 130-330-47-0131PN34 WoMen's watch will sell in an instant - you simply do not find watches this important very often.After all, this isn't just any Bond watch (think Seiko, Breitling, or Omega), this is a vintage Rolex chronograph, that also happens to be a Bond watch..yup, this is huge.Click here for the details of a true James Bond watch, the Rolex Pre-Daytona (Ref 6238) worn by Geroge Lazenby in James Bond:
We've mentioned various James Bond watches half a dozen times before (see A Connery-esque 6538, a Gilbert James Bond Jump Hour, and Daniel Craig's personal Corum 396-701-20-V800 CR64 Men's Watch Omega DeVille).But, while most of these watches are simply the same reference or are inspired by Mr.Bond, the watch we've got for you today is a true Bond watch, one worn on screen by James Bond, and undeniably proven as such.
