Do you know any famous people who are known to have a Rolex?
With the exception of those featured in ads (e.g. Arnold Palmer, Diana Krall, Placindo Domingo, Jim Courier, etc.)

Nicholas Cage in National Treasure - makes comment to his Submariner

My friend is a chef and often watches the cooking channel here in the U.S.A. There are two very famous chefs in the U.S. that are always on T.V. and when they cook it's easy to see their Rolex's. Bobby Flay, who has a couple of cooking shows wears a Rolex and Emeril Lagasse wears a Rolex and also wears a Breitling.

A lot of chefs wear them, because of the water resistance, bang around qualities of Rolex's. I wish Emeril did not, I can't stand him.

Without Emeril the Food TV network wouldn't exist. America's fascination with him and his presentation made a lot of other people quite rich.

As Emeril would undoubtedly say, "If you don't like it, get your own show."

I never noticed, im going to start looking, Emiril is cool, but sometimes he tries to hard to be funny..

I want to start a campaign to get Maria Sharapova away from TAG, and wearing a Rolex. Preferably, wearing "only" a Rolex.

Adam from Myth Busters wears a GMT II.

JJ's fans are not girls in frocks,they are sheep in flocks.

If Maria were to bend over like this, would you really notice her damn watch?

Maria Sharapova in only a Rolex, Hmmmm.....(insert wavy image to my fantasy world)....

RobDad · 17 May 2006, 08:07 PM

Sharon Stone regularly wears a SS Sub-date, and here in the UK there's a TV chef called Gordon Ramsay who wears the Plat/SS YM.
Also seen a U2 video with The Edge wearing an SS Sub Date, and Bono wearing an SS DJ on an Oyster. Sure I'll think of more if I have the time!

Eric Clapton's a big Rolex fan.

These days, more and more women are wearing Rolex. There was a thread here some time back that showed pictures all these gorgeous women wearing rolex. Well, not all of them were gorgeous, but most of them were!

You have a real cross section of humankind that wear Rolex. For instance, it used to be a much sought after watch by big time criminals, especially the gold $Rolexes. Take a tour of the Hoover Building [FBI] museum in WASHDC. There's glass display cases of them and names of the infamous who they were confiscated from.

I was watching Jimmy Kimmel the other night and his musical guest was Nick Lachey, from what I could tell he was wearing a WG or SS black face Daytona...

Of course he is really only famous for stickin' Jessica Simpson...

Mrdi · 14 May 2006, 06:55 AM

Bill Ficker " America's Cup " winner wears one.
Dennis Conner "America's Cup" winner wears one.
And of course Alfred E Newman

DocD · 14 May 2006, 08:00 AM

Emeril sometimes wears a Rolex and sometimes wears a Breitling, but he gets on my nerves because you can't turn on the television without seeing his face. He so overexposed. As far as the 30 minute chick---Rachel Ray goes, I personally can't stomach her and don't think she's even remotely hot. She's flat as a board and annoying. There are even websites devoted to bashing her she's so annoying! I prefer my chefs with a larger rack....I like a little more meat with my potatoes.
