EBAY TIP 1

Seiko 7A38

As recently discovered, Bond might actually be wearing a 7A38-7060 with Day Date instead of a 7A28-7020. And now, a really beautiful example of a Bond 7A38-7060 from June 1985 is available on eBay.

Completely serviced and sorted with new seals, the original crystal has minor marks, but is in excellent condition.

BOOKS

Jamaica - On the Tracks of James Bond

JAMAICA – On The Tracks of James Bond is the latest ON THE TRACKS OF 007 book by Simon Firth.

EBAY TIP 2

John Lobb Casino Royale shoes

These John Lobb Luffield Derby black shoes are the same model as seen in Casino Royale (2006). These were very expensive shoes at the time (more than the current Crocket & Jones shoes), but now you can get this used pair on eBay for £500.

The shoes on offer have only been worn a handful of special occasions and looked after with great care using the included shoe trees, cloth bags and original box and bag.

CLOTHING

SkyFall Distressed Jacket

Royale Filmwear has released a jacket inspired by the Levi’s 1930s Vintage jacket worn by Bond in SkyFall. Although not an exact replica, this one was carefully created to have a similar look and feel.

James Bond in Sardinia

Sardinia is a beautiful Bond location, with many locations still looking the same as during the filming of The Spy Who Loved Me.

This summer, Oscar Verpoort recreated many of the scenes. If you haven’t seen the incredible photo series yet, make sure to check it out on Instagram, including the chase scene and Jaws scene and Lotus arrival.

BOND GIRLS

James Bond Shade ‘Honey’ sunglasses

The 007 Shade is the first design exclusively for women from the Barton Perreira x 007 Legacy collaboration.

The James Bond Shade Sunglasses by Barton Perreira has an oversized silhouette, capturing a glamorous 1970s-influenced spirit with a modern architectural edge. The glasses are “an homage to the bold lines of Ken Adam's 007 production design”. The design comes with a 007-branded travel case and polishing cloth in a dusty rose shade.

There are six colourways: Honey, Paloma, Tatiana, Vesper, Galore and Goodnight.
