Thanks for the kind word! I corrected it, thanks to you too.

Any faves? What do you think of Jerome Bettis AND Umberto Eco wearing the same marque?? :lol:

 

[Khurram]

Which model are Brad Pitt and Brosnan wearing?
Are they the same? Looks like a 048/050 perhaps?

 

[tutima]

Hey, Victoria...

Thanks for the effort....This would have taken a lot of time accumulating and putting together....

Can't tell from the angle on Pitt, but it is know that Brosnan wore the (discontinued) PAM 91 in After the Sunset.

Thanks Tutima! In reality, it just took composing the post time.

The gathering had been very kindly done for me already. Well, I looked for a looooong time for a nice shot of the Prince of Asturias' PAM, but that's all.

 

[thehorse]

Wow! Thanks for this.

I didn't know that Bruce Willis is a left hander (wearing his watch on the right)

Each one has their own definition of time regardless of the machina that provides the aproximate pause to life. To each their own. Outstanding Eco and I don't even know who the other guy is (my best guess is football player...)

Cheers V.

I forgot to mention that Orlando also wears a Fiddy in "Elizabethtown"

Thanks, love that post - the footballer is not Tony Romo, i dont know who it is. Nice to see these celebs wearing Pam stylings that our group of RWI celebs is wearing here.

 

[crick]

EXCELLENT POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[vbarrett]

Wow! Thanks for this.

Hey, good eye there!

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I don't care so much about celebrities, except in relation to their watches. Then I could look at photos for hours!

I guess like many of us, we're curious to know about personal taste in watches, because it says a lot about them.

Followup post coming.

 

[vbarrett]

Thanks, love that post - the footballer is not Tony Romo, i dont know who it is.

Thought it might not be. Whoever it is, they both love Texas Longhorns!

Here is a followup post, with general celeb watch sightings. VERY LONG. MODEM BURNER!

* California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger wears an Audemars Piguet watch - the model is called Royal Oak Offshore. He is a watch collector but at the same time he has consulted on several limited editions for Audemars Piguet. Among his favorites there are IWC Big Pilot, Rolex and Panerai watches.

Usher pulling a Maradona, with two Audemars Piguet

Jude Law, the most unbutch guy you can imagine..., wearing a big old 3717

You know...I've seen many celeb fashion faux-pas, but this has got to take the cake. Sharon Stone on the red carpet, wearing a very nice gown (if she were 20) wearing a pilot watch ON NATO G10 ZULU whatever...strap.

Wow.

AND

As mentioned above, the current US President wears that famous $50 Timex, which some thought had been stolen from him in his recent Albania trip (there was a thread here on RWG, during my first week as a newbie).

I've been searching for MONTHS for a good, clear shot of this Timex. Here it is:

Not sure what I expected, perhaps something plasticky and clunkier, but this is okay.

Oh, and though all the "celeb watch" lists say that ex-PM Tony Blair always wore a $30 Swatch, like this:

I think that's incorrect these days.

In a February issue of Newsweek, which I read awaiting a doctor's appointment, he was portrayed very clearly wearing a GMT Pepsi Rolex...in his bare feet.

I wonder if he only wore the Rollie privately...

 

[horologie_unitas]

Thomas Gottschalk..... he said he wears Panerai....when he visits the eastern eurpoean countries, cause its not so bad if you get robbed and just lose a $ 5000 watch....
he collects watches..... Lange, Patek, Breguet, etc.....

funny

I could've sworn I saw Carlos Mencia wearing a 161 on Mind of Mencia tonight.

I had to Google Images Carlos Mencia. Didn't know who he was!

And is it me, or does he look like a Mexican version of Rodney Dangerfield. :lol:

 

[Matt Watch]

Wow V,

Your on fire! Thanks for all the information on the who's who wearing the who's who of watches. Had a ton's of fun looking at your post and again thank you for your time spent entertaining us tonight.

I often try to catch a celeb wrist shot on tv or film, you have filled the cup.

Matt

My C-cup runneth over.

Thanks, Matt! Hope to add to the thread in the coming years. So many watch sightings, that watching movies now is a torture for me...

 

[Aji]

Thanks for that, its good to know we're in good company

 

[wanmadtim]

Great post vbarret! I see Simon Cowell is listed as wearing a Chopard Mille Miglia does anyone happen to know which version? Also for UK members, is this the watch he wears most weeks on XFactor? I notice it has a black rubber strap which he never keeps tucks into the strap loop it's always hanging loose.
