This 46mm x 49mm x 12mm (w x l x h) replica rolex Yachtmaster watches watch is not for everyone probably, but let me tell you that it doesnt wear as big as the specifications let you think, as you can read in my review on the brown 3-Timer here.The green dial 3-Timer comes with a black pointed calf strap and a deployant buckle to keep it put. However, if you are just like me not really a fan of deployant buckles, they have a ver nice Ardillion buckle as well. What I really like about this watch, is the dial pattern as shown below in a close-up image.
The bi-directional bezel is very pleasant to use (not the rattle system as on the former Rolex Submariner and Omega Seamaster Professional models) and the used font for displaying the hours on the bezel has been designed by Linde Werdelin as well.Price of this green 3-Timer is 4920 Euro. Since it is restricted to 22 pieces world wide, I guess it will run out pretty fast. I am very proud to present to you, the first ever (real) pictures of Ian Flemings watch and the exhibit interior, published on the internet. Below, you will see an excerpt from the press release, a picture of the actual watch that Ian Fleming wore and used as inspiration for his James Bond novels and a picture of the exhibit room. Note that pictures of the museum replica breitling Bentley Motors watches nor the watch have never been published before. Taking pictures inside the museum is strictly prohibited.From the press release: Ian Fleming’s personal James Bond watch is not kept wound while it’s on display as part of the increasingly popular “Bond Watches, James Bond Watches” exhibit.So when attendees arrive for the special “Bond Enthusiasts Weekend,” September 10 and 11, they’ll be in for a special treat. As I wrote before, the dial reminds me of a turtle shell, because the colour and the pattern changes very nicely. This is only the case on the brown (sold out) and this green version though. Further more, the ears on this watch that can be used to connect a Reef or Rock instrument makes this watch remind me of a Patek Philippe Nautilus. Because of the size of the watch, you could define it as a cross-over Nautilus Off-Shore. Perhaps that explains the popularity of this specific model (the guys over Hodinkee cant stop raving about this watch as well).The 3-Timer is water resistant to 300 meters (1000 ft) and has a screw down crown mechanism. This most famous James Bond watch in the world will be wound, set to the proper time — and ticking.The “Bond Enthusiasts Weekend” will be held at the National Watch & Clock Museum on replica breitling Chronomat Chronograph watches September 10 and 11, 2010. Friday is “Casino Night,” from 6:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
