Logan Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 There are some close ups that were posted on timezone of the actual watch after the movie was made. I will try to find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted September 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Thanks for the reference material guys. Logan, if you were able to dig up production stills of the watch, that would be fantastic. From comments Orlando made in an interview about buying a new watch, and the interviewer's note that it was a Panerai, I'm wondering if this was indeed his own personal property rather than a 'costume piece'. From the second photo, it's clear he has the second keeper on the strap (something I don't tend to do on PAMs as I find they slide up (as Orlando's has done) so find it easier to remove them) It shouldn't be too hard to track down a suitable strap based on those pictures, if anyone (V ) could point out a supplier, that would be most appreciated Thanks again, everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geo1nah2a Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 The watch belongs to the president of Panerai USA(Phillipe Bonay) and it was on a loan for the movie. hxxp://forums.timezone.com/index.php?t=tree&th=527145&mid=1487859&rid=0&rev=&reveal= Shame that the scans have been removed..

But if Sssurfer recommends it, how bad can it be? BTW, should Paneristi watch a cannon of films before, during and after owning Panerai watches? I propose a popcorn session in Shoutbox, when we all go to Blockbuster, and synchronise view on our DVDs: Daylight After the Sunset Elizabethtown Bridget Jones' Diary Eraser The Transporter (1 & 2) Gridiron Gang Chick flicks AND Di.ck flicks.

Victoria Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 That's fantastic, and I'd agree with your 'diagnosis' Silly question though, what do you mean by 'distinctive reverse side'? Does that mean the section that goes 'outside' the wrist, or the inside surface of the strap which goes against the skin? Inside, closest to the wrist. Also, now that you mention it, OEM Panerai straps also share this same look. Since it belonged to Philippe Bonay, it's a possibilty. However, OEM Fiddy straps start at U$350 in their boutique...the default one you get with the Fiddy in the original box is the "OEM Cashmere tan", if memory serves, though. So that points back to it being Manifatture Firenze's, not OEM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MERCI DANKE THANK YOU Serdecznie dziękuję (yeah, I copy pasted)! Just checked Risti. OMG...he looks so wet in this photo. No wonder I don't like pretty boys. Looks like Titanium they said. I agree, but which? (They also said he was wearing the Cali, 249, on the cover of People magazine, so he's a definite goner, Panerai-wise) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome! I haven't seen it either, and to be honest, am not the world's greatest fan of Orlando Bloom, my interest was more in the watch than him personally That said, I'll probably get round to watching the movie at some point I have to admit, I didn't notice a PAM in Bridget Jones' Diary, but, having read, I know it's worn by Hugh Grant As for the Transporter, Jason Statham's PAM is another 'movie watch' I'm keen to add to my collection (his comment on the T 1 commentary about the watch makes it sound like his own personal posession rather than a wardrobe piece as he says the name with real pride) RESPECT We are lucky to have members like you within our community. Absolutely Inside, closest to the wrist. As in against the skin, or the longer section which comes from the 6 O Clock lugs? Also, now that you mention it, OEM Panerai straps also share this same look. Since it belonged to Philippe Bonay, it's a possibilty. However, OEM Fiddy straps start at U$350 in their boutique...the default one you get with the Fiddy in the original box is the "OEM Cashmere tan", if memory serves, though. So that points back to it being Manifatture Firenze's, not OEM. If the color is different to the default strap, that would rather point towards an aftermarket addition rather than it being a default strap... This is precicely why I thought it best to ask the advice of those in the know, rather than muddling through the various strap sites while tabbing back to the still of Orlando giving Kirsten a piggy back and scratching my head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(They also said he was wearing the Cali, 249, on the cover of People magazine, so he's a definite goner, Panerai-wise) I'm not too hot on PAM models, but, looking at that pic, I'd say that the main dial was a dark grey rather than black, and that the secs @ 9 subdial was a lighter grey. The case might be titanium, although I wouldn't want to say for sure... If I ever get a guinea pig with wavy dark hair, I'll know just what to call him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
