Including a 'Paul Newman' Daytona—and one approved by the King of Cool himself. If you have trouble reading this message, view it in a browser.       James Bond's Rolex Submariner Is Going Up for Auction, Along With 4 More Watches Hollywood Loves   Bob's Watches has an upcoming auction featuring five watches, each with a lineage linked to Tinseltown. The star of the show? A Rolex Submariner ref. 6538, aka the "Big Crown" Submariner, but with another alias as well: the "James Bond" Submariner. See, this is the same reference that Sean Connery wore making his debut as Her Majesty's favorite blunt instrument, and one that helped cement the style as a legend of modern watchmaking. Not that it's the only watch that could secure top billing. There's also a "Paul Newman" Daytona, another Submariner that just so happened to be Steve McQueen's preferred reference, the same version of the GMT Master Pussy Galore wore in Goldfinger, and a much more recent Omega Seamaster, another Bond special. All five watches go up for auction on November 16, but Esquire has an exclusive first look for you right here.

But the fabric's buttery softness also means you can skip straight to the part where the piece feels perfectly broken-in right from the outset, so you don't have to spend all afternoon trying to figure out the best way to stiffly position yourself on the couch to snag some sweet, sweet fades. Suede is so supple it does all the work for you. Here are 15 we highly recommend right now.

Here's How to Get It.   Years after the record-breaking bidding war for memoirs from Barack and Michelle Obama, which ended in a staggering $65 million advance from Penguin Random House, the former president's memoir is finally on its way. A Promised Land, the first volume of Obama's two-part memoir, will hit shelves on November 17th.

So it seemed like a decent enough time for Politics Editor Jack Holmes to circle back with one of the people he spoke with in May about surveillance testing: Bob Kocher, who at the time was leading the state of California's testing strategy as part of Governor Gavin Newsom's coronavirus task force. Kocher is back in private practice now, but he's still got a lot of thoughts on all this—including on how "testing is vaccination for the economy." Here's what he had to say about the current state of affairs. Read More         Read More on Esquire.com       Follow Us     Unsubscribe  Privacy Notice   esquire.com ©2020 Hearst Communications Inc.
