Q&A

For this newsletter, I’m speaking with David Zaritsky.

You will all know David from his popular YouTube channel The Bond Experience.

Q. Which three Bond clothes or accessories do you wear the most?
A. Would have to be my Omega Quantum of Solace watch, my Crockett and Jones boots, and Tom Ford Quantum of Solace sunglasses.

Q. If you could keep only 1 item of your Bond collection, what would it be?
A. It would have to be my Casino Royale screen-used Armani jacket. It's such an iconic item from my favorite Bond film. It also represents how style and wardrobe go hand in hand with action and storytelling. Lindy Hemming hit it out of the park with that choice!

Q. What is your most popular post/video?
A. One of my most popular is The Four F's of Dressing Like Bond. This is where I discussed the Fit, Feel, Fashion, and Function of wearing Bond clothing. It just seemed to resonate with people as it has over 300,000 views.

Q. Which Bond location do you still want to visit?
A. I have a hankering to visit Matera, Italy. It looks like an amazing place that has both historical ties as well as the obvious Bond connection.

Q. If you could meet any Bond actor (even if they’re no longer with us), who would that be and why?
A. Well, since you opened it up to living or DEAD, I would have to choose Sean Connery. As the very template of who ALL the Bonds are, I would have loved an opportunity to share a drink or two with him and just talk about life.

Q. Which Bond-related song do you want to add to the Bond Lifestyle Spotify Playlist?
A. I would like to add Quantum of Solace's PALIO to the list. It has the right amount of energy and excitement and HEY, it's David Arnold after all! [this song is not available on Spotify so listen to it on YouTube]

Q. Rolex or Omega?
A. Well, I do own a Rolex but my heart and wallet are attached to OMEGA... LOL!
