RIP Sir Sean.
I can hear those words in my head........ The names Bond, James Bond, and many, many more.
To what purpose do these RIP threads serve?
There are nearly as many threads about Sean Connery today as there are about Rolex, which is a good thing.
Is it safe to say that a good percentage of people on watch forums are undoubtedly originally had their interest peaked by a bond watch or became entrenched in the hobby because of it or at least the Golgfinger bomb scene I'm probably one of them. This was the man whose on screen watch started it all for the go to tool watch (Fleming explorer aside)
From originals to homages, debates and discussions raging over NATO strap colour or RAF one pieces of incorrect widths sizing.
It should be fitting we hail him as a hero even if he didn't give a monkeys about the watch.
I'm sure over on the swimming costume forums they are commemorating him also for the terry towelling onesie.
It wasn't just the bond stuff for me his turn in Highlander as Juan Sanchez Villalobos Ramirez had some great moments. From his opening narration-
" From the dawn of time we came; moving silently down through the centuries, living many secret lives, struggling to reach the time of the Gathering; when the few who remain will battle to the last. No one has ever known we were among you… until now."
To the cosmic ponderings-
"Why does the sun come up, or are the stars just pinholes in the curtain of night?
Not exactly works of Shakespeare but his charm carried them off well .

Certainly my idol growing up, I remember watching all the movies he was in not just the Bonds, very sad news, if anyone reading this hasn’t seen ‘The Rock’ I would highly recommend it.
RIP indeed to a great actor, and the reason many people were introduced to Rolex.

Personally I don't think he was a ' great' actor but yes a good one. He had some great roles to play , obviously Bond but Red October was way better for me.
I think he fitted in just perfectly for the time and roles that where around at the time. The Indiana film is a perfect example.
But its always very sad when a well known figure passes on.
RIP Sir Connery
What a fantastic actor, loved him in The Untouchables and of course one of my all time favourite films - Hunt for Red October. Only Sean could get away playing a Russian submarine Captain, with a Scottish accent.LOL
