Hey Guys:

Just saw "The Big Short" because of the historical importance of the corruption of the Wall Street Bankers....

Anyway, one of the main characters is played by Steve Carell.

Prominently displayed on his left wrist is none other than a beautiful Rolex Sub 116610 LN in all it's glory.

I was really disappointed that it didn't get a credit at the end of the movie....

PSS: As an under-dog investor, I proudly wore my Tudor Black Bay Black to the screening...

I saw the Black Bays for the first time in early December. They are some fine looking watches that pictures just cannot do justice.

Grady:

You have good taste in watches sir! And yes, I felt pretty awesome wearing it today!

Looks vintage but brand new!

Be safe.

Just found this pic over on "Variety"....

Pretty much says it all...

Classic

Oysterquartz too..

hdms · 3 January 2016, 07:52 PM

Few things I noticed after watching the movie. The submariner that Steve was wearing was first produced in 2010 right? And the IWC deployant clasp that Ryan Gosling was wearing while presenting the Jenga scene was also from 2010 or later? But the movie was supposed to be happening from 2007-2008 was it not? Just a couple observations but the movie is awesome.

Just saw a re-run of Hot Shots 2 over Xmas and noticed that the commando guys in the beginning of the movie look at Pepsi GMT Masters when "synchronizing" the time...

SpaceWanderer · 4 January 2016, 01:23 AM

Only the prop master and the actor know exactly what he was wearing. My wife just worked w/Steve and could have asked him. Too late now.

Great movie. Points out not only the corruption of Wall Street, but the corruption of the US Government and the Federal Reserve.

I'm shocked, I tell you. Just shocked!!

Great movie. I also noticed the ceramic Sub and thought it was a few years too early to be wearing that watch. One of his co-workers is wearing an Oysterquartz, I think.

Anybody catch what Anthony Bourdain was wearing?

I saw that too. It looked like the dial was blue.

I've always associated the SS Daytona with Wall Street fraud and excess. I recall a gold one is featured prominently on the poster for Wolf of Wall Street.

mschafer · 5 January 2016, 12:53 PM

There are a lot of fakes on movie and TV sets. So take it all with a grain of salt. It a famtasy world on a budget.

Timesurfer · 5 January 2016, 12:59 PM

Interesting, i guess it makes sense...

I still find myself pausing scenes to identify watches, the last one that kept me going back an forth was Redmond Reddington of the Blacklist with his GMT pepsi

Hpozzuoli · 5 January 2016, 01:11 PM

I believe Leonardo had a DJ Or OP in Wolf of Wall Street

Wcdhtwn · 5 January 2016, 01:24 PM

Wall Street Money Never Sleeps lightly hit on the housing crisis, GG made his come back betting against it. Sorry if that's a spoiler but if you haven't seen it by now... There are some good watches in that movie as one would expect, Shia LaBeouf is wearing a really nice IWC. Certainly there's more than a couple Rolexes in that movie, haven't seen it in a long time to be more specific.

There was (is) a member here "in the biz" who recently stated that every high-end watch in films is a replica.

And why wouldn't they be? What prop master is going to fret over a $7,000 watch when one costing $100 would do the job?

I know this is true and it doesn't decrease my enjoyment at spotting them one bit. :)

Is this 'allowed'? I mean doesn't the manufacturers have a say about product placement and the use of fakes in film?

I would think they would go after people who do this.

Well, I'm no lawyer, but...

There is no bad press. If I'm making Hilo watches and some movie wants to show off Hilo watches then, fake or not, I'm thrilled. There is no bad press.

Product placement watches are the exception, not the rule. Unless the watch logo can be read, there's no trademark issues, either. And prop guys do use fakes all the time. The guns usually shoot blanks, too.

Interesting. I guess that's our answer.

I just watched an old Clint Eastwood Movie Firefox and he was sporting a GMT Rootbeer.

Funny, I was watching this over the weekend and noticed it too and had the same question!

I did some searching (over the course if which I found this thread, so figured I'd update it when I got the answer

), and from this still it sure appears to be none other than a blue dialed DJ:

Clint Eastwood also sported a Rootbeer GMT in the film 'In The Line of Fire' I believe its his own personal watch.

Bordain is a big Rolex fan, seen him wear several different models during his shows.
