he also swims in a dry suit with a tux under it... not a hair out of place nor a crease .....it is a movie after all
Can't remember which one but in one of the films he swims in a wetsuit and then takes it of to reveal his completely dry and crease free DJ underneath 
you quite literally quoted him saying exactly that!Goldfinger, btw, and dry suit would make more sense.

But still, as you say, the clue is in the name so when he takes it off to reveal a 'dry' dinner suit, I'd have to go with dry suit...
(I know it looked like/actually was a wetsuit but it's just a film and dry suits are ugly baggy affairs not becoming of a superspy)

I thought he'd done similar in more than one film to honest, I know Arnie did it one film too (True Lies?) It's just one of those random film goofs that annoys me, like coming out of the alley way on the other two wheels than he went in (Diamond are forever?) and reheat on the Albatross in Tomorrow Never Dies

I remember a submariner pal of mine being furious at him swimming out and back into a sub in The World Is Not Enough as well. Oddly, I'm fairly immune to technical inaccuracies so long as they're fairly anchored in the realms of 'possible'.The absurd CG stunts in Die Another Day annoy me much more. Bring back stuntmen! And I'm glad they did for Casino Royale.
Mono is a stupid idea.
Where's the room for the fanny and the bottle of Bollinger?
Bond should have a copule of cars.
The start of the film could see him out in the English countryside with some posh totty in a nice Eagle E-Type Roadster.
He then needs something like a Bentley CGT Supersports with the obligatory gadgets for a few chase scenes later on.

Just no, never.
Sure they are a great and you can get away with one on a track but nothing makes you look like a Billy No Mates than a car with only one seat, Bond would never go on a track day or talk about suspension setup and "Track Work", thats for us sad car geeks, his car is part of a lifestyle, not the lifestyle itself.
Despite being a lone agent, he does, as has been mentioned need room for a Bond Girl and he cant have that in what is effectively a massive training shoe, Bond Girls like luxury, sophistication and style, not a big kids toy car.
What is the alternative, no bond Girls ? that would spoil the film for us chaps and I don't really need a scene in a massive, swish hotel bedroom with a Bottle of Vintage Bollinger being sipped as 007 flicks through the Adult Films on the pay perv-iew and has a Grumble, obviously M would have to pop up on a screen and say "Really, 007".

I like the idea of the Eagle but that sort of scene is kind of reserved for the DB5. Where's the room for the fanny and the bottle of Bollinger?

As for the Bentley, just no, there is not one thing about them that is cool and not even James Bond driving one can change that!
I can get with the idea of an M600 as its kind of the same ethos behind what the old Astons and Lotus's were about with them being very British etc. Also got to consider the Ginetta G60 if your going down that route though.
In Thunderball (book) he even would stoop as low as a bubble car... (though not his)
"the night before, scoring a most satisfactory left and right of Spaghetti Bolognese and Chianti at Lucien's in Brighton and of Miss Patricia Fearing on the squab seats from her bubble car high up on the Downs"

I love this thread..
It a very emotive subject ..
Like messing with the Union Jack !!!
Right now I am gonna wind everyone up ...
It's obviously lucky that the films are scripted by people with similar views to myself
"What Bond? In one of those new fangled Aston Martin things? Never , they are brash and tasteless, he will always drive a Bentley ... Next you will have him in one of thqse brash omega watches that spacemen wear, do you honestly believe bOnd could turn up in Monte Carlo in an Aston Martin without his trademark Rolex?"
Luckily the writers in the past have made bold decisions ... Many bad but seriously ... You are telling me that all these Bond fans are protecting him because they first read Flemings spy books.... More likely they had a corgi esprit sub that fired missiles ... Or a gold (yes mine was gold not silver) db5 with ejector seat...
Was the esprit wrong?
Aston ejector seat ?
Little Nellie ?
IMHO anyone who says they love bond because of.Flemings deep moody characterisation and not the fantastic job that the film makers did creating an icon, is probably telling porkies.... Art, classical music, wine anyone
The choice of music
The opening sequence
The one liners
The unbelievable villains
The gadget
Etc etc etc
So .... Sorry to all those who are totally embedded in a retro bond past ... That was invented by forward thinkers have missed the point
Bond has always been about finding the latest technology and showcasing it... Generally real or based on fact
The fact that most of you didn't even know what a mono was sort of rules you out as you probably don't know what a rail gun is or if active cloaking technology exists ...
So I repeat ... BOND SHOULD BE GIVEN A MONO AS HIS COOL GADGET IN THE NEXT MOVIE
though I do concede that needs his 4 seat family car when he picks up the Finnish contortionist triplets for a long evening of twister...
Let the flames begin
BTW my next subject to upset you.... Ferraris should be hammered and not kept in garages and polished by people who wear chinos and sports jackets...
