HauteHippie Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 Nice, Ronin. It works well on your wrist, too. <Imagine a pic of my blue arabic dial franken SA here>
cougaree Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 This Or this Hasn't made up my mind yet. Both of them need some wrist time to be fully wound. My day end will be this one in the pool
Watchmeister Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 03 on one of my favorite straps - original A croc strap with one keeper. They don't make those straps like they used to.

freddy333 Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 111 Great pic. Today, I am following Mr. Big's lead (top down, but with different models & sans the inscription)
TeeJay Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 Today, I am following Mr. Big's lead (top down, but with different models & sans the inscription) Do you know what dial combo Big's watch is? I'm sure he wore a DJ in the series, but wore a strapped watch in the first movie... (I'm not a fan, but Emily is...)

(I'm not a fan, but Emily is...) Unless someone has a pre-release bootleg copy, we will not know until the movie is released on the 27th. But, in the series, he often wore a TT DJ with (I think) a white dial & stick markers. The close-up I posted above is from the trailer, which is obviously a steel DJ. My guess, since the SATC writers & producers are famous for following cutting-edge fashion trends very closely, is that they decided to tone down Big's watch to bring it more into line with today's smaller, more understated mens' watches.

Ahh, I wasn't sure if there might have been any other shots available. As you say, trends are leaning towards the smaller watches, I just think it an irony that Rolex bought out the DD II line with the larger cases, yet a movie like SATC is more likely to get guys either buying a watch like Big's (or their women buying the same thing as a gift for them) rather than simply being swayed by the adverts for the DD IIs Oh the fun of marketing and product placement

I got my 1st TT DJ (& Armani suit) in the mid-80s at the behest of my then girlfriend, who was in love with the David Addison character played by Bruce Willis in the Moonlighting tv series. Product placement, even when unintentional, can be very profitable.

I think had they released the larger watches instead of the bejewelled GMT monstrosities, they might have got better results. I have to admit, I think the larger size DJs might be, for many, an ideal daily beater, although personally, I think given the size of the Submariner, I wonder if they might seem 'oversize' by comparison...

Product placement, even when unintentional, can be very profitable. Absolutely. I never saw the series, but I think something like that, or maybe Will & Grace, was probably a marketing guru's dream project, given the target audiences
