How many of those people actually bought their own? I'd say under 5%. Gotta love those celebrity gift bags!

Welcome to TRF

Nice find

Looking at Andrzej Golota's wrist i can understand that the wrist size does not matter when it comes to a day-date

Question: I've seen Phil Mickelson in Rolex ads so I guess he is another celebrity. I notice that he plays golf with a watch on. Is this a Rolex? If so, what model?

I have paid all my watches by myself. Did that means I´m no celeb?

Che wore a GMT Master. This is a great quote from the Book Shadow Warrior by Felix Rodriguez.

"Below and just to my right, tied to a stretcher and attached securely to the chopper's skid, was the dead body of Che Guevara.

On my wrist was his steel Rolex GMT Master with its red-and-blue bezel. In my breast pocket, wrapped in paper from my loose leaf notebook, was the partially smoked tobacco from his last pipe.

There were stains on the army fatigue trousers I was wearing -- Che's blood caked dark against the khaki-green material."


I would love to know were that watch is now. Rodriguez only died about 15 years ago.

That quote pushed me from buying the Sub to the GMT IIc.

Matt...

I like the photos of Kylie Minogue.
I think she has put on a little weight lately, but I'm really glad she has the breast cancer issue under control

This proves that the gold Daytona is a girl's watch. And I'm fine with this.
