b16a2 Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Nice find! I find this an interesting picture (from Goldeneye), as it woulld appear that the SMP has a double AR coating in this film? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moppel Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 That picture is indeed very interesting. I didn't know that Bond ever wore the quartz version of the SMP. Moppel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gargoil Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 (edited) He wore the quartz version in Goldeneye then the auto version in Tomorrow Never Dies onwards. Maybe he changed because he lost the pearl in his SMP quartz above? Edited September 9, 2007 by gargoil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Well after seeing these pictures of countless Omega's I have jut got back from an AD. The Seamaster as pictured above is so nice in the flesh. I have the Chrono rep, but the standard version would make a nice all round watch!! In the bond films it seems to look good with a suit too!

Victoria Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 http://jitteryjim.com/?page_id=432 Was watching "Shooter" with my bf (on the phone!), and during the whole time, I was wondering what watch Marky Mark was wearing. "Shooter (2007) Bob Lee Swagger (Mark Wahlberg wears a Suunto Vector)." Great. And here I thought it was a Sinn EZM2 or so. I still have loads to learn...........thanks Fitmic! P.S.: Since becoming a really active watch hobbyist, rather than erstwhile enthusiast, all films are now "spot the watch" moments -- since I'm a cinephile, that means daily. It can be VERY distracting, unfortunately. Ocean's 13 was a nightmare! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victoria Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 I suffer from the same disease. As far as diseases go, I'll take it! But I worry about boring those around me with my incessant patter about watches: "No, I think that maybe is a Breitling. But which? Oh, it's Steelfish! Or an Emergency?? (next actor comes unto the screen) And the Rock is wearing a Panerai. How can a juvie football coach earn enough to get a PAM GMT? Jeez!". Poor guy (my bf). Fortunately, he finds it vastly amusing. Love is blind... @DuDro: Wish I had the DVD, but I haven't even seen the film! Hey, what did Tony Marrero wear in Scarface, to go with his lillo friend?

a german in denmark Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 We all do. Yeah, me too. And you know what, seeing Orlando Bloom wearing a Fiddy in that "Elisabethtown"- thingy, actually made me buy one myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Yeah, me too. And you know what, seeing Orlando Bloom wearing a Fiddy in that "Elisabethtown"- thingy, actually made me buy one myself. It worked the other way round. I watched the film because there was a Fiddy in it. Did I tell Mrs Pugwash? No-o-o. Did she spot the Fiddy? Oh yes. It's hard to miss. Still, she thinks all movies have Panerais in them because they're pretty watches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Yeah, me too. And you know what, seeing Orlando Bloom wearing a Fiddy in that "Elisabethtown"- thingy, actually made me buy one myself. Never having watched Elizabethtown (it was fast on the heels of "Garden State", I recall, so I chose the latter, which was SO good), I am excited to see a film mentioned which shows a Fiddy! Thanks, too, Pug! However, when I saw Live Free or Die Hard 4.0 which had the baddie wearing a T3, I wanted to buy one immediately, ostensibly for my boyfriend. Same thing happened when I saw the chick wearing a B.A. watch in Transformers -- only I still don't know what watch she wore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magagne Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 He wore the quartz version in Goldeneye then the auto version in Tomorrow Never Dies onwards. Maybe he changed because he lost the pearl in his SMP quartz above? In Golden Eye, the pearl function was a red blinking light that is a signal for a detonation, the LED light was a CGI, of course. This is why we don't see the pearl. CGI replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Just watched The Brave One, which opened this weekend in the States, starring Jody Foster and Terrence Howard (Hustle 'n' Flow). In the first scene, she was wearing a classic vintage black-faced Cartier Tank (got one too! 1970s vintage. Same lizard strap too). There are reasons why she didn't wear any later on, which I won't spoil. Terrence Howard's (as usual, fantastic, as was Jody Foster -- when they were on screen together, the film sizzled) watch gave me pause. At first I thought it was a black IWC Porto chrono, with croc strap. But I think that's wish-fulfillment on my part. Later I could've sworn it was the very lovely JLC Reserve de Marche (doesn't one of our members have one?): It's possible that it's also the Omega Aquaterra Railmaster XXL: But then he briefly turned his hand around during a coffeeshop scene, and it was not the typical JLC or Omega logo on the buckle. Looked like a fat "H" with a hat (not Hublot, no). God, what is that watch! See what a disease we suffer from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corpsman Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Do you guys watch this british car show called Fifth Gear? 2 of the hosts are former racing drivers and always wear a diff watch every episode. One of their correspondents also wears a panerai occasionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corpsman Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Jeremy wears a PO? I never noticed. Yea i guess i failed to mention TG.

TeeJay Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 I've noticed Chip Foose wear a red and black GMT Master II on occastion. Other times, I think he might wear a watch by Oakley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Mr. Jeremy Clarkson's antics aside, getting back to watches in movies: Saw 3:10 to Yuma, and I was wrong. As apparently in the original, there is of course frequent sighting of a beautiful pocket watch, owned by the top Pinkerton official. At one point in the film, the pocket watch gets a full 2 second cameo where I excitedly leant forward to see the marque (startling the two frat boys I was seated next to -- hehe, I wonder what they thought of that). S.......... & H........, I believe were the initials. Any of you watch experts, perhaps Nanuq who loves older timepieces given that famous photo , might have a clue which marque that is? I want to say the last name is H for "Hamilton", as in the famous American watch company, but maybe that's a forced mind association. ...the film itself was good. Watchable (pun intended). And it certainly is a good modern effort at the Western genre (never a fave of mine). It's not all I heard it was on Charlie Rose though. Still, good effort. Worth watching.
