Well of course the villian Red Grant in From Russia with love (played by Robert shaw in the film) wore a Girard Perregaux..

To Quote from From the book.

"...There was also a bulky gold wristwatch on a well-used crocodile strap. It was a Girard-Perregaux model designed for people who like gadgets, and it had a sweep second-hand and two little windows in the face to tell the day of the month , and the month, and the phase of the moon"

G-P have reissued a modern version which looks like this....



So that is a REAL villians watch but I admit rather more expensive than a swatch.....classy though don't you think?

Identify more with Bond so a Millsub is more my bag but that watch is beautiful if you have the class to carry it off.
