For anyone who is knowledgeable about this movie. I was curious to know what kind of watch is Bond is wearing? I have no clue as to make or model, you only get a brief view at it really. Also, who or wear did connery get those suits made? They don't look like savile row suits but I don't have that trained eye for suit makers. And lastly on a production note, I guess there are some pretty significant scences cut and or heavily edited from the film. Does anyone know what those scenes are? If anyone could help me I'd greatly apperciate it. Thanks

At first glance the watch he wears that Algernon tosses LOOKS like a Rolex. The laser watch is a digital, if memory serves.

There should be a listing in the end credits for who supplied the suits.

I know of one cut scene-the lunch that Largo invited Bond over for was shot, and there was a still of said scene posted on an old NSNA thread.

I would have liked to have seen that. The loss of it creates a rather odd plot gaffe that makes Largo look rather foolish.

his cat has fatally scratched him

I never quite understood this one, why does his cat have poisoned claws? Just so Blofeld can die? Too bad that both NSNA and DAF never got around to filming Blofeld's death scene.

I remember discussing this with a friend after the issue came out, and we [censored]ted an idea that the faster acting poision Blofeld mentions wanting in FRWL was what got installed in the cat. Note in NSNA Blofeld doesn't have a bodyguard at hand ... maybe the cat is his bodyguard!

So there is a cut scene of Blofeld dying? That seems rather interseting. I'd really like to see a master-edition of this movie, uncut and unedited. I was reading on imdb that Sydow had a much larger role in the movie but it trimmed so much that he barle gets screen time as Blofeld. Also, I saw some sort of bio of Connery a few weeks back and I recall some behind the scene footage of him driving the Bentley a little more.

Does anyone know of any links regaurding the information or know anyhting else? This is like a totally new to me. Also, regaurding the watch, it wasn't digital. It's a plain black analog something or another, from what I see.

BTW what type of weight is Connery using? It is rather hard to tell as to how the contration works. Is he pushing the weight and pulling the weight. All I can tell its a bench press machine. Does anyone know what that type of workout machine is called. I think its made by univeral equpment.
