The new 007: Road to a Million show has Bond fans divided if it’s a worthy addition to the Bond franchise, but it does seem to do well and hopefully at least will get a new audience interested in the film series. I’m putting together a guide to products seen in the show, see it here.

Speaking of Guides, check out the 10th edition of the Bond Lifestyle Holiday Gift Guide with the latest Black Friday deals including 20% off Sunspel and 25% off the black John Smedley Bobby (rarely on sale).

Collecting Bond is as hot as ever with some props fetching incredible prices at the recent Propstore auction.

Scroll down for a new bio of Sean Connery and new collectible coins released by The Royal Mint.

NEW ID

This is Swann’s watch in SPECTRE

Madeleine Swann’s watch in SPECTRE was not yet identified, but after taking a close look I’m pretty sure it’s an Omega Constellation watch, and more specifically the 24mm 123.10.24.60.02.001 model.
