I was aware of the brand, but I didn't want to mention it as I didn't want to mention a cigarette brand.

So far 007 has only sported a TAG-Heuer watch once, in Timothy Dalton's first outing in the role. He did wear a Rolex but since 1995 he has opted for Omega.
Ah, ok. Thunderball is probably my least favourite Bond movie, I've probably not it watched close enough to notice. I don't think such things would happen in current Bond movies.
