Victoria Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 EDIT: Check out Deltatahoe's June 2006 post, on precisely this -- Celebrities Wearing Panerai watches. Seems forum members like the topic. This post is inspired by TeeJay, yet again, and is an adjunct to his Orlando Bloom Fiddy post. Some photos of celebs follow. Guess the model! SYLVESTER STALLONE ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER T. GOTTSCHALK BILL CLINTON (what IS he wearing on the other wrist?? Is that a Navajo bracelet??) ROBIN WILLIAMS BORIS BECKER FLAVIO BRIATORE MICHAEL BALLACK PHIL COLLINS (!) DMX BRAD PITT RALF M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordRasta Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Please wait while I send you a pic of me to add to the list! You gotta admit a PAM looks nice next to a Super Bowl ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted September 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Please wait while I send you a pic of me to add to the list! I will seriously wet myself if Bob Marley wore Panerai! Can he get more perfect?? You gotta admit a PAM looks nice next to a Super Bowl ring. Mnnnmmm. Dunno. Being totally honest here, I think it's ugly even with the SB ring. I think wearing bling on a Panerai is the male equivalent of wearing pink straps on a Fiddy for women. It can be construed incorrectly as a mere fashion statement, and IMHO, doesn't look good.

V Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Very glad to see Umberto Eco is wearing one.. I am a big fan and he is basically the only 'important' person from the list for the intellectual ones Plus do you see he has an aftermarket strap? Wondering what it might be...

Victoria Posted September 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 V!!!! Welcome back!! I only just mentioned you longingly yesterday! Very glad to see Umberto Eco is wearing one.. I am a big fan and he is basically the only 'important' person from the list for the intellectual ones Oh, you intellectual snob you. Yeah, I was copy-pasting the links, when suddenly my eyes pounced on him. I really gasped out loud and got goosepimples. Plus do you see he has an aftermarket strap? Wondering what it might be... Correct! I'm almost sure that it's another Manifatture Firenze strap, because of the stitch, the grain, and the lack of thickness (MF straps are around 3mm, not the usual Paci 5.5mm, etc.). I'm almost sure it's this: https://www.manifatturefirenze.it/home.php/...tcat/45/idart/8 Black calf leather strap with buckle (white stitch) Item Code: F2-212 EC Price : € 86.40 Extra EC Price : € 72.00* (~US$ 101) EDIT: OR... A1-212 Black calf leather strap (white stitch) Same strap, but in 24/22. I have that, for the Fiddy, and I have to say, I am VERY sweet on Manifatture Firenze straps. They are a little more comfortable to wear than Pacis... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted September 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 EXTRA THE FUTURE KING OF SPAIN, CROWN PRINCE FELIPE You know when a man REALLY really likes watches? When he gives them as presents to his godchildren. http://www.elpais.com/articulo/economia/Ce...elpepueco_3/Tes That's the latest godson of Crown Prince Felipe showing off what his "padrino" gave him, for his First Communion. I'm fairly sure that's not a Panerai (that would've been funny!), but as you can see... ...Learn 'em young! P.S.: Damn. I only got some silver spoons for my First Communion. And a mother-of-pearl Bible! I wish I had royal godparents -- bet you the Queen would've given me a Fiddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victoria Posted September 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Brosnan looks like he's wearing a rep: skinny-looking crown there... And a DSN bracelet. You can tell by the 30 degree bent of the lug wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slai Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Wow, never noticed Flavio wears a Pam. I wonder if Heidi Klum picked up the pam habit from him while he was knocking her up, or vice-versa (the pam that is, not the knocking up). Jean Todt wears a Richard Mille which is rather ironic since he should be backing Ferrari by Panerai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victoria Posted September 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Tyler Florence from Food network wears a 217. Also noticed today that one of the trainers from Biggest Loser, Bob, wears a pam on a NATO. Jillian wears a Santos 100. No clue who any of these are, but thanks Slai! Here are some others, not all Paneristi: * 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.

Onthe cover of Time Magazine he was wearing a Roger Dubuis Much More watch. * Leonardo DiCaprio was seen wearing a Jaeger LeCoultre Master Minute Repeater for $175,000. * Russia's president Vladimir Putin has a $60,000 Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar. This is a really expensive timepiece if compared to George W. Bush's Timex for $50. However, the US president has a personal inscription on his Timex. * Yuri Luzhkov, the mayor of Moscow wears a Patek Philippe Calatrava, the price of which is $18,000. * Roman Abramovich, the owner of the English club Chelsea, has a wide range of Rolex watches.

Victoria Posted September 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 This post is inspired by TeeJay, yet again, and is an adjunct to his Orlando Bloom Fiddy post. Some photos of celebs follow. Guess the model! That's a supercool lineup there I think it's safe to say that Orlando's a watch collector Brosnan looks like he's wearing a rep: skinny-looking crown there... Hee hee, that's in a movie, so, as was said about Kieffer Sutherland's Sub, it's not a rep, it's a 'prop' I can't wait to get the SS bracelet for my 111h, the matt and polished sections are going to really pick up the matt case and brushed bezel and crown guard Isaiah Washington of Grey's Anatomy wearing an unindentified Panerai I know PAMs are celebrity favorites, but, I'm going to take a chance here and suggest that this might infact be a Clone Panerai by another manufacturer. Something about the shape of the crown guards doesn't quite look right, and, if you look at the center of the CG, there are two lines of shadow at the 3 O clock. Rather like a crown which goes the length of the crown guard, and is only protected on the sides by two 'wings'. I only say this as I saw a watch like this not so long ago in a jewellers. I can't remember the brand, I think it might've been a seconda... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Very glad to see Umberto Eco is wearing one.. I am a big fan and he is basically the only 'important' person from the list for the intellectual ones That's the one I showed to Mrs Pugwash. I too am a fan. Anyone that can create an entire genre (historical whodunnit) with one of his lesser works is to be taken notice of. I still think Foucault's Pendulum is one of the all-time greatest works of fiction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think Foucault's Pendulum is one of the all-time greatest works of fiction. Your response reminded me of another flawed genius, who also single-handedly "invented" a book genre (can you imagine doing something like that?), the "true crime" of In Cold Blood: Truman Capote Anyone want to take a crack at what watch he's wearing? For the record, to his infamous masked Black & White Ball, he wore a classic Cartier Tank. It was this ball, the last great high society shindig of the Twentieth Century, that was called "Party of the Century". Oh please. Jacqueline Kennedy didn't go. What kind of a party was that?

Victoria Posted September 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Thanks to all for the pics. It is always fun to see what people are wearing. Well, instead of sleeping (my body clock is completely out-of-whack...), I've been gathering more pics. I'll post them in due course, Kru. Thanks for your kind word! Given the fact that you are in Nova Iorque, and have probably sighted any number of celebs, I'd truly love any anecdote you can post. As for me, yes, I've always loved watches, but I wasn't hyper AWARE of them as I am now, in my watch hobbyist incarnation. Last year, I saw the rapper Ludacris seated at a Miami Beach eatery, not one table away from me. I'd be lying if I told you I can remember what watch he wore. BTW, major a-hole...

I think this quote pretty much shows how up himself he is... "I'm a businessman at the end of the day," Ludacris told WENN. "We hate the term rapper these days, man. I'm an entrepreneur.

Pugwash Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Interesting! He took one year off to circle the world on his motorcycle with a chum. Wonder if he wore his Panerai... Charlie Boorman (the Chum) wore a Rolex Sub while Ewan wore his Panerai during the preparation phase of their trip. Once they set off, Ewan left his Panerai behind. He wore something cheaper for the trip while Charlie wore his Sub, I believe. I'll be rewatching it soon and I'll take notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZainoDetail Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Also noticed today that one of the trainers from Biggest Loser, Bob, wears a pam on a NATO. Jillian wears a Santos 100. And I think Bob's had a different NATO each week too. Last week he was clearly wearing the one with Panerai in a yellow box on the strap...this week it look'd all black.
