What criteria should determine James Bond watch selection: Part I (2008 survey)?

It should be a current version of the brand and model originally designated by Ian Fleming (if determined).

It should be a current version of the brand and model first worn by Sean Connery (the original on-screen 007).

It should be any current brand and model that fits with the actor now playing James Bond (one size won't fit all).

The producers should decide, using whatever criteria they see fit (it's their business and creative license).

No opinion / refuse to answer

		What criteria should determine James Bond watch selection: Part I (2008 survey)?
		November 23, 2008
		Following are results of a Poll I ran in a highly-trafficked Forum frequented by aficionados from across the spectrum of watch interests. I Posted this survey on November 23, 2008, and ran it for 7 days. The Thread was viewed well over 430 times and garnered 49 Votes as distributed below in response to the following question. Note: This feedback was obtained before the original (literary) James Bond watch was truly identified in the February 2009 issue of WatchTime magazine. In future films, what watch should the James Bond 007 character wear?

		Numbers may not add up to 100% due to rounding.
