A Lucky Replica of Sean Connery's Original 1962 Rolex Submariner From the Film " Dr. No" Sold for $10 000

Sean Connery's Rolex watches have been a hot topic in the last week. A replica of his Swiss Rolex Submariner originally worn in the film, "Dr. No" was sold for $10 000 to a private collector of James Bond memorabilia. These special vintage watches were not only made famous by James Bond films, but also by a fascinating story of luck, endurance and quality workmanship. Because of a tale of good fortune and sunken treasure, the Swiss Rolex submariner, has been one of the most popular fake Rolex watches sold in the last 5 years.

Swiss Rolex Submariner Surfaces Intact After 1 Year Underwater!

The original Swiss Rolex Submariner worn in "Dr. No", was bought from Sean Connery by a collector in the early eighties, only to be lost in a actual submarine wreck in 1987. The owner of the submarine, Watership Down fell asleep at the periscope, and crashed it into an underwater mountain range, barely making it to the surface alive. After the unfortunate accident, Watership Down's captain, a wealthy real estate dealer, had his permanently submerged submarine searched to recover lost items, including his beloved Rolex. The search was drawn out over a year, due to less than ideal weather and ocean currents which deterred diving teams, but, even still, when the vintage Rolex was brought to the surface and wound, it began ticking immediately! Much to the delight and amazement of its owner, who had luckily stored the Swiss Rolex in a waterproof compartment along with other valuables including a string of African freshwater pearls and a pair of stunning ruby cufflinks, his Rolex had survived! You can't fake that kind of quality!

Fake and Fortune: Famous Rolex Loved, Not Lost

Since it's incredible stay in the deep, the "Dr. No" Swiss Rolex was considered by its owner to be not only a symbol class and luxury, but of good luck and perseverance. He had a high quality replica Rolex watches made to give to friends and family in hopes that even a fake of this special Rolex would bring them good fortune, and these fake Rolex watches proved to bring those close to him the status they deserved. After hearing this story, a James Bond memorabilia collector tried to buy the original "Dr. No" Swiss Rolex from the real estate dealer for almost $20 000 USD. Only to be turned down, the memorabilia collector, decided that one of the original fake Rolex watches commissioned by the lucky captain of the Watership Down would have to do. The memorabilia collector offered the captain's cousin $5000 for his Swiss Rolex replica, but ended up paying $10 000 to the captain's mother-in-law after all was said and done.
