There is currently some debate as to whether or not this model watch was ever worn in a James Bond movie. Either Timothy Dalton wore it as Agent 007 in Licence to Kill, or he wore a piece which was virtually identical to it (but with another Rolex reference number).
The link below provides complete access to this 1-page report and data.
The subject Rolex Sub Date had been in service approximately 22 months at that point, and was worn almost daily throughout.
Note that for any given minute tracked, the second-hand position deviated by as much as three-quarters of a second, revolution after revolution, depending on its position relative to the dial. In other words, this watch could be observed as exactly matching the USNO Master Clock with the second-hand pointing at one number on its dial, and be 0.75 seconds slow (or fast) as it traveled through another position, then exactly matching again as it passed the initial point cited.
