James Bond: The Spoof who loved me

Before you click this I think you should know that I am a fan. In fact if I could be James Bond for a day I would consider my life complete, as long as I got to be him when he wasn't about to be cut in half lengthways by a circular saw. Or have his nuts whipped.

Racing stripes part one: The Bond watch strap

I knew that racing stripes would be coming into my wardrobe sooner or later and so they have. This watch strap was actually an affordable way to sort out my Submariner without laying out £400 on a new stainless steel bracelet. The plan was to use it sparingly to help the original bracelet last longer, and also to refurbish the bracelet while it's off.

But I'm growing quite fond of it and there is obviously the James Bond nod (he wore a similar strap on his sub in Doctor No, in the days before M kitted him out with a Seiko).
