Do you own any of the James Bond Swatch watches? I know these things have been around awhile but I just recently got into them. I'm thinking about getting either the LTK, Goldfinger or OHMSS one. If you have any, tell me which one(s) you have and why you like it/them.

I have the watch dedicated to "For Your Eyes Only." It was one of two that was made especially for women, and I think captures the classy nature of the movie.

The FYEO is the best of the batch. Love that watch.

I don't have any of the watches myself, but I do have the Bond/Swatch brochure, which is a very nice Bond collectible in itself. Two fold out pages per watch with pics and the poster from each film. Swatch was handing them out free at the BCW in S.F.

There are actually four watches especially for women including the Thunderball, DAF, FYEO and Octopussy watch.

I have that too - a very beautifully designed piece of promotional kit, must have cost a fortune. It was a landscaped format, right?

They did however get one of the pictures wrong, I think it involved Th and YOLT.

I've got the DAD one. It's got a great twist face so you can have the gunbarrel on one side or the watch face.
I'm never wearing it though.

I asked my sister to get me the LD watch for my birthday-one of the more affordable ones. When you press the button on it, it lights up, and you see Bond in the gunbarrel. What's ironic about it is that, it's Roger in the gunbarrel, not Tim.
