UncleJay Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 As I've said in the past, I'm a freakin' nut. I've changed collections many times in the last few years. I started with Rolex (my original 5513 is the only that remains) and moved to Panerai in late '99. I've also had sub-collections, like when I went daft for chronos then later for two-register chronos. Now, it's movie watches. I have several in my collection and want to add more, it's a cool subject when I open my watch cases. Here's what I have (or will shortly have), what would you add to make my collection better? Daylight (5218-201/A) Avenging Angelo (PAM0127) Eraser/Driven/John Rambo (5218-202/A) rep End Of Days (AP EOD Chrono) Transporter 2 (PAM0196) Cliffhanger/Broken Arrow (Breitling Aerospace) The Specialist (Franchi Menotti Sciabecco) Minority Report (Omega X-33) Shooter (Suunto Vector) Bourne Identity (Tag Link Chrono and Swatch Irony Scuba 200 "Sine Curve") I Am Legend (Swiss Army ST 4000) Mission Impossible 3 (Casio G-Shock) Miami Vice (Vacheron Constantine Maltese Chrono) Goldfinger (Rolex Submariner) Golden Eye (Omega SMP, auto for 007 and quartz for 006) WOULD LIKE TO ADD: AP T3 (T3), AP XX Chrono (The Sixth Day), Hamilton Twilight (I Am Legend), and a Breitling Top Time (Thunderball).

Victoria Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Starry-eyed collection! Here are my suggestions for you: - Tag Heuer Monaco Chronograph (Le Mans, 1971) - IWC Mark XV (Firewall, 2006 & Vanilla Sky, 2001) - Vostok diver (The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, 2004) - Jaeger Le Coultre Reverso Duo (The Admin Crown Affair, 1999) - Jaeger Le Coultre Master Compressor (Hors de Prix, 2006 & You, Me and Dupree, 2006) ...and of course - Panerai 127 (Elizabethtown, 2005) I could talk about watches in movies all day and tomorrow.

scoobs1971 Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Great idea for a collection! Don't forget the Breitling Chrono Avenger from Blood Diamonds. And if you already have the SMP you need the PO on black rubber (Daniel Craig) too. And what about the IWC Aquaracer 'Slevin'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweattdogg Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 I'll second the blue bond SMP, and maybe even the Planet Ocean if it's in the new Bond 22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Slevin and Moonwatch for sure. Slevin as it was one of the most anticipated reps ever...and the Moonwatch for being representative of one of the more important historical timepieces used so often in movies!!
