Watches
- Red Grant's gold watch
- A "bulky gold wristwatch on a well-used brown crocodile strap" with a sweep second hand and calendar windows; Fleming uses the flashy gold watch to signal Grant's vanity, and Bond appropriates it after destroying his own Rolex. Fleming names no maker, and no documented reference matches the description.
