Made especially for Roger Moore as James Bond in the 1973 film ''Live and Let Die'' accompanied by the original production signed and mounted drawing by Syd Cain, the famous chief gadget designer, or real Q, for the majority of the Bond Films! Also included are two original black and white stills showing the watch worn in the film. With its specially adapted ''Buzz Saw'' bezel (which as a working prop spins while rising rise up by way of compressed air) it came to the aid of 007 in the scene where he escapes Kananga's shark infested lair by cutting himself and Solitare (Jane Seymour) free. If you're into your ''James Bond Submariners''? This is the real deal. In addition to all the highly collectible previously mentioned items it also comes with a copy of the auction catalogue back in 2001 (when Watch Guru originally bought the watch) and all the prop parts including its specially addapted fins cast from brass to restore it back to its original state should its new owner find himself in shark infested waters! The case back was also kindly signed by Roger Moore himself at a luncheon date 10 years ago in exchange for a healthy donation to Unicef of which he is a long standing ambassador.
1st & foremost, we understand & take responsibility for the fact that both tastes & horological fashions are ever changing.
We do this by being willing to take back past pieces we've sold either in the form of part exchanges or cash when needed.
With clients rarely loosing more than 15-20% in this process & even benefitting from large profits on occasion, we believe this is the way to build trust with the public. For example. If going 'off piste' & not sticking to in vogue trendy watches such as Batman's, we believe you would incur the same monetary loss spending £20,000 with us on your various purchases as you would spending £8500 at new RRP.
The very fact that we've never advertised in over 30 years shows we have a long standing loyal customer base. Please see testimonials for more on this.

Like the reintroduction of the Mini motorcar over a decade ago, this reinterpretation of Big Pilot by IWC is better than the original. This 1st series Platinum example is of course the top of the top.
