Ramseys Kitchen Nightmares

[timbo]

Currently watching Ramseys Kitchen Nightmares, the one set in the US. Does anyone have any idea what the watch Gordon Ramsey is wearing? I noticed he has been wearing it for the last few episodes, if not the entire series.

[slai]

I think I remember someone mentioning Breitling in one of our food network spotting threads.

[yellomen]

In the previous series in England he wore a yellow Breitling if i recall well... But what he's been wearing with the newer series that play in the US i dpn't know...

[timbo]

I saw in the series set in england he was wearing a breitling.

If anyone in the uk fancies having a look its on channel4 now. It looks quite large, all black ceramic or pvd coated, with a black leather strap. Also looks like it is a chronograph of some sort.

Funny I was thinking the same thing as I watched it the other night.

It was the on at that awful Hollywood pizza place. Im sure it was black pvd number. I was thinking Pam but im not sure.

Chronomat Longitude?

Navitimer or Datora in this pic perhaps

[timbo]

Not in the current series based in the US currently running on channel 4. This one is all black- face, case and strap. Whatever it is it looks great from what i can see.

Come on Ladies! a simple google and post wont work here! show me the magic- 1000's of dedicated watchoholics on this forum, someone must know??!!

[elisiX]

lol i've been watching this show here in Australia.. hooked!.

I was wondering the exact same thing about his watch.

Usually he's worn what I thought looked like a pilot of some sort but this in latest episode with the pizza place, it looks PVD so a different watch.

fendushi- wrong series. Thats from Ramseys Kitchen Nightmares UK. Im after the watch he wears in Ramseys Kitchen Nightmares USA. But i think you are right about it being a Breitling in the UK series.

Here is a screenshot from the USA series.

Timbo... I recorded a few episodes of the US series. I'll see if I could get a screen shot.

[fendushi]

Here you go, Timbo... I still have no idea what it is...

"Don't take this personally... I thought your food was crap!"

[fendushi]

A couple more... anyone know what it is?

I think I remember someone mentioning Breitling in one of our food network spotting threads.

Good memory, Slai! It was in my "Lidia Bastianich" thread which covered most telly celeb-chefs:

Here he is wearing I believe a BCE (doesn't seem to be the new one though):

[Dani]

My guess is a corum admiral cups some sort of LE.

The crown guard looks very corum so does the dial.

[Victoria]

The crown guard looks very corum so does the dial.

For me, this half-moon design is the clincher. GOD WHAT IS IT. Azimuth?? Alpina??

I'm taking out my 2008 Wristwatch Annual to search for it.

EDIT: Dani, this is the closest Corum I found that matches. Don't think it is a Corum.

I Googled "Gordon Ramsay Timepiece" and found a link in the Rolexforums:

hxxp://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=28157

One person suggested it was the "Asprey No. 8 chronograph". I think that's CLOSE. This is the Asprey's No. 8 Dual-Time.

What do you think? The lugs are identical and straps are identical.

Or maybe it IS the No. 8 Chronograph?

...like many husband's (hi FxrAndy!), he allows his missus to wear his watches. This is his wife Tana wearing the Breitling Aeromarine Chrono Avenger (correction).

[fendushi]

A couple more clues.... I've got one more episode to go. Hopefully there's a good closeup... my eyes hurt!

[promotersf]

Friggin awesome show. There's so much garbage on TV these days, I find myself watching Ramsey, Anthony Bourdain, and Top Chef more than anything. Funny thing, the overseas version is so much better with Gordon swearing up a storm. Classic.

[fendushi]

Here's the only shot worth capturing... telling Sebastian of Sebastian's Restaurant in L.A that he's a "Fake Chef". Maybe he means "Replica Chef"

I judging by the last 2 screen shots... I think Victoria's got it, it looks like an Asprey chronograph. Look at the pushers and the lugs on the shot above. Then again... they don't look like arabic numbers, they look like normal rectangular hour markers.

Nice work Victoria you super sleuth.

And Respect to Mr. Ramsey for choosing something a bit different.
