Bond doesn't actually wear a Rolex - it's just an empty shell to host his murder tools, wich could just as easily be put into a $2 Casio by Department Q. But the spy is supposed to go undercover among the upper crust of society, so a fake Rolex container it is. And then the Rolex, the BMW and the other brands become part of his actual identity. Funny, that. The really interesting thing about Bond’s accessories is that they’re just simulacrum when you think about it.

I love the Walther PPK. Bought one as a gift for my father-in-law some years ago.  That’s a really good call. I love the Walther PPK. Bought one as a gift for my father-in-law some years ago.

He's used one in about every movie. http://www.jamesbondlifestyle.com/sites/default/files/styles/fancybox_popup/public/images/product/ga006-walther-ppk-collage.jpg Disappointed that a Walther PPK didn’t make the list.
