Now that I have a Rolex, I seem to notice them more when I see someone out or in pictures...especially celebrities. Since I have an Explorer II, I was wondering if anyone knew of celebrities (silver screen, television, sports, or political) that sport the same watch...

P.S. I don't have celebrity envy...I am just curious.

No worries, KC..most of us here are the same!!

What I've noticed in most movies, is that they usually wear either a DD, a DJ or a Sub. You rarely see GMTs or Exps. TAGs are often shown on the silver screen, usually being worn by the "hoods", and in "The 51st State" Samuel L. Jackson was wearing a Breitling.

Here's a couple: I can't remember the girl's name. It's on the tip of my tongue .....

Subfiend · 19 January 2006, 04:41 AM

Oh, and Brad Pitt. He has worn the Ex II in Rolex ads in Japan.

Not an Explorer, not even sure if she is a celeb, but hey any excuse !

The gorgeous girl is Elle [The Body] McPherson, supermodel, millionairess and true blue Aussie Beach girl, all 185cm of her. I've also seen her wearing a solid gold Daytona as well.

The guy driving is Eric [Slowhand] Clapton. In the back is a very well known blues guy and it annoys me that I can't think of his name

Anyone else know?

The guy in the back of the car is B.B. King.

Angelina Jolie, Tissot Touch in the 2 Tomb Raiders & Mr & Mrs Smith.
I know it's a Tissot, but still Swiss & Angelina.
In Mr & Mrs Smith, the watch shot was way too obvious.i'm sure 1/4 of the screen was just the face of her watch.

Subfiend · 19 January 2006, 03:33 PM

I know her name. I was just seeing if anybody was paying attention. She is my dream girl.

I have met B.B King. I believes he wears a Gold President. In fact, the first GMT I ever saw was on Dizzie Gillespie's wrist.

Eric Clapton, of course, is famous for owning lots of Rolex watches, and now doing ads for Rolex.

Welcome to TRF, Knowledge. No need to be modest with that low key first post. Stick around and enjoy the fun here.

Care to tell us a little about yourself and your collection?

Her name is Elsa Benitez and the photo is from the 2004 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. Is that a gilt dial? Mmmmmmm.

Do you really care what the dial is?

Subfiend · 20 January 2006, 01:41 AM

At this point, yes. I have been studying the rest of that photo for almost two years now.
