Maybe wearing Rolex shows a personal appreciation of quality (rather than an ideological or philosophical message) since the pics show Pope John Paul II and politicians like LB Johnson, Castro and Sarkozy wearing Rolex as well. That Che wore Rolex is quite well known, and apparently not something he felt he needed to hide. It is said that Che had both a Submariner and a GMT. A CIA Agent (Félix Rodríguez) present at his execution said he stole Che's Rolex and other personal items.

The winner for 'most enthusiastic' Rolex owner seems to be Fidel Castro with his two watch on a wrist style!! Diego Maradona also habitually wears two Rolex at the same time, but he wears them separately (ie one on left and other on right wrist).

The use of the correct preposition of place as well as the correct use of possessives would be greatly appreciated.....

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...
That's a great quote! I'd like to read that! Thanks!

It's no secret that Fidel and Che wore Rolex watches. They wanted the best so they got Rolex. That was my thinking too when I bought the GMT IIc.

I travel to Havana a number of times a year and it's very commercial there and getting even more so.

I just watched the DVD movie, "The Neighbor" with Matthew Modine and Michele Laroque. In the early scenes in her apartment, Michele seems to be wearing a man's white dial DJ loosely. This pic is from a totally different venue, so she might have been wearing her personal Rolex during the shoot. I wonder if anyone can confirm?

My favourite models are worn by Barry White and Dalai Lama.

Miss Danielle Loyd have no taste in watches but her body looks a bit better. Nicky Hilton is cute and Tara Reid would also be cute when she loose weight. :-)

Cameron Diaz wears a SS sub in the movie Knight and Day with wacko Tom Cruise. Can't tell if it is the new Ceramic but it actually looks good on a ladies wrist.
