The present watch is a stunning example of a "Big Crown," or "James Bond" Submariner. These watches are highly prized for their large 4mm diameter crown that was also seen on the Submariner worn by Sean Connery in the early James Bond movies such as Dr. No. The original insert with red triangle is a prize, as is the four-line dial indicating it is a certified chronometer. The lighter luminous material at 6 o'clock is indeed a true sign of originality and the present watch is a must-have example for any Rolex enthusiast.
