007 Chronological Viewing Order

Great work! If you plan on doing detailed time-stamp breakdowns like this for each film, I'll include it on the main post. Up to you!
That's actually up to you. Since I'm including The Man from U.N.C.L.E. on my Batman '66 timeline, I gotta include the James Bond breakdowns. Your notes prove to be very helpful though.

Awesome, glad we can help eachother! I'm about to post my next breakdown for The Spy Who Loved Me.
 
Yesterday I was able to watch 1977's "The Spy Who Loved Me". Not much to note on the tenth Bond film from a timeline perspective, but here's what I was able to catch.

At the 31:55 mark, "Wednesday 3 August" is seen in a planner. The third of August fell on a Wednesday in 1977.

The following dialogue confirms this film takes place over the course of about one month. Bond is first seen in Berngarten in the beginning of the film. This scene occurs "about three weeks" later:

James Bond: "Berngarten? Yes, I was doing some skiing."
Anya Amasova: "When was this?
James Bond: "About three weeks ago. Why?"
Anya Amasova: "Do you recognize him?"
James Bond: "No. Who is he?"
Anya Amasova: "The man I loved. He was in Berngarten three weeks ago."


And that's all I was able to find in this one. This film is firmly set from late July to mid-August of 1977.
 
This short film reveals that within the 007 universe, there are films made about the exploits of the real James Bond starring Sean Connery as the titular character.

It is revealed during the present day scenes that the next James Bond movie is titled "On Your Majesty's Secret Service" which is also the title of an Ian Fleming novel seen during these scenes.
I suppose that explains the joke about On Her Majesty's Secret Service being an in-universe film in The Return of the Man from U.N.C.L.E.
 
By the way, despite the fact I strongly disagree with it, Casino Royale (1967) somewhat canonizes the codename theory within its universe. Sean Connery's Bond is jokingly referenced as the real James Bond's replacement. They also call every single agent in the film, including the women, James Bond to create confusion. It's more of a parody than a proper James Bond instalment of course.

Another unofficial timeline where there was a codename thing going on.
In Black Dossier, it is revealed that he is knighted by Her Majesty for some actions he did not take by himself. The character is always referred to as Sir Jimmy, and is described as an incompetent bungler, a cowardly liar, and a sadistic rapist. Betraying his country, he worked for the Americans as a double agent. However, by 2009 (Volume III: Century 2009), he is still a national treasure. Now elderly, he has been replaced by a succession of namesakes, each of whom are modelled after Eon Bond actors; J1 (Sean Connery), J2 (George Lazenby), J3 (Roger Moore), J4 (Timothy Dalton), J5 (Pierce Brosnan) and J6 (Daniel Craig). It appears that the head of MI5 is Emma Peel (under the name "Emma Night"), a character that was originally played by a Bond alumnus, Diana Rigg, in The Avengers. She bears a resemblance to an aged Diana Rigg in the mold of Judi Dench (who was "M" by that time) in order to get in touch with the current James Bond films.

Yeah, Alan Moore is just... fucking weird when it came to TLXG. For one, he made the Invisible Man even more viler than in the original story (not to mention Hawley betraying humanity and aiding the Martians during their invasion in Volume 2, which resulted in Hyde r*ping him to death), wrote Harry Potter as the Antichrist who essentially commits a school shooting at Hogwarts and who kills Quatermain by shooting him with lightning from his dick in Volume 3, and even included a (lawyer-friendly) cameo of an elderly Captain America with a Nazi tattoo.

Also,
Mary Poppins is God or something. No, I'm not making this up.
