The 'James Bond' Submariner...You're welcome Mr. Bond!

The Large Crown James Bond Submariner, ref. 6538, seen above

and below in "Goldfinger", was one of my favorite restorations.

One of the most fun of the many watches, and many Rolexes, I've restored was the 'James Bond' Rolex.
Someone had bought a nearly destroyed Rolex 6538, the big crown Rolex worn by Sean Connery in 'Goldfinger', at a swap meet for several hundred dollars. He sold it to a dealer for $1000, who then brought it to me to bring back to life.
I changed the tube, crystal and complete automatic system. Seemingly unimportant, but actually most important, was the crown.

The big crown of this model was a hard to find part of the watch that would complete the restoration for a collector.

At the time, I did not know that the famous Bond model had an oversize crown. But I did know that this model I had, ref. 6538, needed the rare large 8 milliimeter Submariner crown.
Of course, I found the needed crown, completed the watch, and finished a timepiece that the customer could proudly sell. A watch that without the large authentic crown, had been ridiculed by others that thought it was a fake.
If James Bond always gets his man, and often woman too, I can say, "I always get my watch part."
