Lol. I am watching The Terminator 3 tonight in between reading about watches on my laptop online. Anyway here is the scene:
Arnold goes back in time. He is naked and goes into a male strip joint to get his clothes. Walks out of the bar/club and steals a beat up old jeep or ford truck. Before putting the car into drive he pulls down the sun visor on the truck to 'look for the keys'. What drops out? Not a set of the assumed keys but what looks like an AP Chrono with a black leather strap. Arnold immediately puts on the watch.
The funny part is a year ago, I never would have know what that watch was but thanks to this forum I have a bit of knowledge. The reason I laughed is the fact that the truck was probably worth allot less than the AP chrono that just happened to be stuffed above the sun visor.
Watch humor I guess? :D

Was thinking the same thing, but didn't he throw it out the window I thought? I saw that and went online and they made a special edition one for the movie.

He hee
I've been looking at that thing for the last month, trying to decide if it's the most contrived, cobbled-together bit of piffle I've yet seen, or if it's not too bad and truly unique after all. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder after all, and I'm still eyeing it.
Hmmm...

Oy!
I guess I'll be skipping that one for now. :(
I wear my watches, and it won't do to have the stainless steel wiping off...

Thanks for the heads up! 8)
