AmStaFF Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 saw yesterday the Movie "The Mechanic" and the Bad Guy wears a AP, which is the model and is it gen or a rep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Aha....bloody Statham....he is a Pannie lover, but in this movie he is sporting a rosegold Audemars Piguet Team Alinghi....QUARTZ version...ahhhh, they show a rep in a socalled Blockbuster??!! Yes, it is a rep as can be seen in other pics in the movie, subdial spacing is quarz, subdials show fantasy dimensions (should be regatta style with 45 minutes counter!). So they used the only excisting rep of this watch, a 128$ rep from Canal street. Even porn stars wear gen watches...why can´t they give him a gen 2.000$ watch when they cannot afford the 45.000$ piece. Cheers Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmStaFF Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Thanks for the clarification Theo, why all these Hollywood Stars wears Reps in the Movies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Oh I think there are quite a lot that wear gen watches....e.g.: - Sly allways wears Panerai - Arnold Schwarzenegger normally wears AP - Jason Staham wears Panerai - Ari Gold wears AP ..... The list can be longer. I think it depends on the movie you got to play in, the budget or director. If you are free to choose a watch..wow. If you are allowed to wear your own...why not. If you are told to wear that special watch...you do it, you are just an actor! Anyway, there are several forae that deal only with "watches in movies". Cool.

Xding Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Spot that AP also in the movie yesterday:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabler Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Nice info, Theo! It´s really interesting to know, 99,99% of people will never know, but we purists, do!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgematic1 Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 This is indeed a quartz Audemars Piguet Team Alinghi rep. Funny thing is that they even used the wrong caseback in the pic Theo shows us. Also the bezel is should be forged carbon. This model was known for a lot of problems with the forged carbon. There was a thread on watchprosite about this and no one even noticed this was a rep... here you go, the gen: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSRep Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Cool thread! Yeah I always thought Statham was a Pannie guy! Im guessing its a rep because of all the action in the movie?......$45000 is alot for a watch at any standard........ What did you think of the movie?

AmStaFF Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 What did you think of the movie? I think this a one of the better action Movies from Statham, if you like The Transporter then will you like this movie too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still a fan of Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aanival Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 The worst thing about this, is that when I saw the movie, I realised it was a REP and wonder whyyy!!?? if the watch is inself an actor, or at least an important part of the story, so I thought AP had payed to the producers, it is itself an AP spot, dont you think? anyhow, there are many and many rep watches on movies, because the producers don´t want to loose the monew the GEN costs, there are too many things that disappear when you do a film...

BGGodwin Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Isn't Tom Selleck notorious for wearing high-quality watches, too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why a fake was used who knows, but the fact of the matter is that there are way too many red flags with this one. On the other hand, if AP did sponsor the film, take their money, buy a Canal Street version, and keep the rest as profit. Putting the business in show business.

Cheers Theo why should they waste 45k on a prop? or even 2k, for smthing that unimportant which being shown for secs?
