In honor of Sir Roger Moore - The Seiko watches of "For Your Eyes Only" and "A View To A Kill"

[@christopherjensen5007]

Growing up in the early 70's Sir Roger Moore was my hero, my 'Bond'. I too have been watching Live and Let Die, The Man With The Golden Gun, The Spy Who Loved Me and also Moonraker too! (I love the photography in that movie) I haven't got a favourite movie as they all bring back fond memories of my childhood. I also own a few Seiko SKX007 watches. Even though he didn't wear this particular model the 007 means such a lot to me. Thank you for posting this.

[@SpencerKleinVintageWatch]

My favorite Moore movies are "Live & Let Die" and "A View To A Kill". The former because it's quite funny and a decent movie all around, and the latter because it was the one to come out in my teen years, and I associate it with good times.

I love your videos and although I am mostly aware of most Seiko's from movies, it is incredible to see one guy having so many of these pieces!!

[@Anitropius]

Great video. I really enjoy when you talk a bit in-depth about the history of Seiko watches - I'm sure that I'm not the only one that would mind seeing more historical Seiko content like this from you. I just got off of work and I'm playing The Spy Who Loved Me soundtrack in the background while drinking a beer as my little salute to Sir Moore and your video was perfect round off.

[@SpencerKleinVintageWatch]

We're working to broaden our video offerings, thanks for the input. You guys might actually get to see what I look like.

[@FLXLife]

That Arnie is in beautiful shape. I got one new and have beat the hell out of it for over 30 years. Still a wonderful watch to wear and I do regularly.

[@sharkeyr67]

Polite correction at 4.48, A View to a kill, was from 1985, The Bond release from 1983 was Octopussy , featuring another Seiko watch, the digita,l G757 which Casiio mimicked with their AE 1200, which has become known as the, Casio Royale. Cheers Sir Roger Moore.

[@BondLifestyleOfficial]

Thanks for the great video - fantastic collection!

[@goaztecs7549]

I've read that Roger Moore was as charming, gracious, and witty in real life as he was as James Bond. The humor he brought to his portrayal of Bond made for a much more faceted and charismatic figure. Thanks for honoring one of my childhood heroes.

[@bobbyboy6397]

Seiko are cool. I've ordered the Arnie watch. I'm so excited!

[@MrLeandroRJ]

Where?

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

@@MrLeandroRJ is the seiko prospex solar snj025 arnie reissue.

[@joshwilson4215]

I recently bought an SNJ025 Seiko Prospex Solar Arnie. Great watch, and proud to own it!.

[@samd.5203]

Great video, I'm with you as a child of the late 60's, growing up with Roger Moore as Bond. Great idea to relive the great Roger Moore as only watch nerds can. Keep up the great work, I always learn so much from your videos.

[@SpencerKleinVintageWatch]

Thanks, yup, late '60s. The 80s were our years.

[@chrisknight4102]

Cool video. I'm a huge Bond fan and Rodger Moore was my Nond also. View to a Kill was my first Bond movie I went to by myself when I was a teenager. Love the story of how you got your Arnie. Very fortunate! Thank you.

[@tods.9947]

Terrific video Spencer. Roger Moore was "my Bond" too. I discovered the older Connery movies because of him. I then devoured the Flemming books. Thank you for the tribute!

[@connorbenson4675]

Bought the two toned gold and silver one thanks to your video

[@SpencerKleinVintageWatch]

Good choice!

[@jeffrasp7087]

Thank you so much for all your great videos.

[@jerryc123a]

Great video! Thanks for putting this together!

[@raksh9]

Would be great if Seiko made modern reissues of the dress analogue/digital watch. Those were wonderfully stylish.

[@jsnyder0512]

He was a Class Act.

[@sandsmine]

in live and let die when bond revealed the watch a sigh went up in the cinema.

[@dado380]

G757 is literally the reason why Casio exist!!!

[@mr.smitty4359]

Great video Rodger Moore was my Bond as well...

[@brickchamp4199]

Watch The Man with the Golden Gun, a brilliant Roger Moore Bond movie.

[@SpencerKleinVintageWatch]

I saw it back in the day, can't say I remember much of anything about it.

[@khronokraze]

Great little video on some select Roger Moore 007 watches. He was also my Bond I grew up on and actually knew first. And, yes, now that I've been into watches over the past few years and have looked into various makes and their histories more closely even more recently, I was delightedly surprised to see just how many Bond watches were of Seiko make. I think in the history of movies, Seiko might be the leader in big screen time. Of course, there are a few more examples which you do not personally own which are also Seiko. And, I think TGV should probably give a shout out to you for having some excellent Roger Moore 007 related watch info.. i believe he is planning on doing one himself soon. Lastly, I believe more people should give Seiko credit to be as rich in heritage, innovation and original style for building quality timepieces for so many years. As such, I still can't understand why a perfectly nice Grand Seiko isn't seriously considered to be of equal, if not truly better, bang for buck when they demand several $1000's.. some feel they just aren't worth it cause.. well, it's not Swiss and it's a Seiko.. Rubbish thinking, I say. Refer back to one of you videos about Seiko's excellent finishing and robust in-house movements and the very cool Spring Drive technology and those alone are worth every penny. Besides, if it was good enough to be in at least half of the total collection of Bond movies to date in the company of Rolex and Omega, why the lack of respect and credit?.. Good enough for Bond should be good enough for everyone.

[@nikmanfre3579]

Ehi yo, i've got the seiko cronograph quartz too, that's an amazing piece

[@cmb1972]

Kudos Spencer, I liked Roger too and own the Arnie and 7a28.

[@solstar4778]

He’s a saint too !

[@PreeyenMistry]

that sq datejust is gorgeous, I foolishly sold mine for £12

[@SpencerKleinVintageWatch]

You can find them, most people don't know what they are.

[@raksh9]

Foolish sale, indeed

[@zupe88]

dang hate hearing the bad news. but some lovely watches. love your videos.

[@farrenk2429]

Funny that you used those words "he was my James Bond" bc those were the exact words I use today when talking to someone about him

[@jasongotch8099]

View to a Kill was 1985!

[@CADZONE-v3x]

ROGER MOORE IS MY NO1 BOND

[@mhlaw229]

And yes, Mr St John (Sinjin) Smythe was hilarious in View to a Kill

[@Sandman.68.]

James Bonds trousers from the 70' 80' will never ever be collectable or revered .

[@jsnyder0512]

Great Video.

[@mhlaw229]

Live and Let Die was a Rolex 5513 movie

[@johnkalpooner08]

1200-1500 now

[@jtmoore662]

Now this is watch collecting. Most people think you have to have certain brands, high end brands and such.

[@SpencerKleinVintageWatch]

All you need is what you like.

[@nikesonmyfeet996]

Great video man, can feel true passion for watches and james bond movies espesially.

[@steven3379]

I wonder what watch he wore in the Saint TV series!

[@ats7485]

I echo that thought. Did you ever check into it?

[@steven3379]

Watchman_Allan no but sounds like something for this weekend!

[@ats7485]

I found it! watchesinmovies.info/tv/saint-the-1962-1969/ There was a Zenith pocket watch, a Bulova Regetta 23, and an Omega dress watch. I wouldn't mind tracking down one of those Bulovas if they were going for a song.

[@louisnguyen2865]

Was the "Arnie" in any Bond movie?

[@SpencerKleinVintageWatch]

Yes, it is known as the "Eiffel Tower Watch" from "A View To A Kill".

[@RYANKBPRODUCTIONS]

Did the 6923 have both gold and silver dial? If so which was in the movie? Thanks for all your great videos!

[@mhlaw229]

Hi. The other diving movie was not a Bond movie but excellent nevertheless. FFLOKES or North Sea Hijack from the early 80s

[@varanid9]

What watch did he wear in that one?

[@omblackwell1183]

Exactly right MH Law. Ffoukes (the part played by Roger Moore) wears the Golden Seiko. You can watch the entire film on Youbtube. Roger is great in the film and the watch features with a close-up at 1.22.23. Well worth a watch (no pun intended).

[@danielmarshall4587]

Could it be North Sea Hijack? The dive movie..

[@josephp2712]

that movie was called ffolks spencer it is a great movie he plays a commando in it it also stared Tony Perkins

[@neilpiper9889]

Roger Moore was known for his eyebrow raising which was satirised a lot in the uk. Sean Connery was the only bond who was believable in fight scenes. Sean Connery wore Rolex.

[@varanid9]

Well, apparently, Omega has had a lock on the Bond franchise since Pierce Brosnan's first appearance up until "Spectre".

[@lordofluxury4445]

No hes dead ohh well the new bond is going to be Mohamed Allah Akbar and his veiled girl friends the way the UK is going. Not a whole lot of eye candy in the new films.
