The Rolex Submariner 5513 worn by Roger Moore in 'Live and let die' is being offered for sale in Christie's November sale in Geneva. This watch featured the 'Buzzsaw' bezel which allowed 007 to cut his bonds to escape another certain death..





The watch last sold at auction by Christies in 2001 (lot 145) for $41,992 (26,523 British pounds). The buyer also purchased the production drawing for the watch (drawn by Syd Cain), sold at the same auction (lot 144) for $11,453 (7,233 British pounds).

The watch is estimated to sell between $225000 and $445000 plus premium.

Remember the movement was removed to allow for the fitment of the turbine to power the 'saw' bezel. So it'll only show the right time twice in 24 hrs...
