Are you a watch geek?

[Simon Bags]

So how many of you, whilst watching tv, or a film, spot a watch and go "that's a ......." or "wonder what that piece is"? I did it the other night whilst watching a Top Gear re-run.

[Spice_Weasel]

Ha ha. All the time....

[ShadownINja]

Yep. Watching old films and noticing watches that I'd never noticed before.

I may be more worserer.
I watched Quantum of Solace the other night just to see my watch.

You win.

[Simon Bags]

So do we know any of the pieces that are worn on tv? Think someone said that Charlie Sheen in 2 1/2 men wears a Raymond Weil?

[ShadownINja]

Clarkson wears an Omega Railmaster IIRC. Clearly, he works a lot in high magnetic fields.

Before Sly went all Paneristi on us, he wore a Chronosport UDT as Rambo. Not a lot of people know that.

Yup

[deejuic]

Definitely YES. Not only that, I will root for the characters that wear my favorite watches even if they are the villains!

[tuffer]

Not only am I but I now also have my missus doing it, it must be due to the fact I have been showing her so many pictures of IWC's over the last 12 months as hints for Christmas presents.

Do you rub yours while the same model is in shot?

[swanny71]

Yes but the other half calls me a sad tt, not a watch geek.

I haven't watched the film just to see my watch, but it is pretty cool seeing the fairly obvious product placement close-ups and thinking to yourself, "Yeah, I have that watch on my wrist now!". Also the dialog between Bond and Vespa in Casino Royale - Rolex? No, Omega

Clarkson and Tom Hanks both wear Planet Oceans

[TheEnd]

I did watch End of Days, to see if the EOD AP ROO was from the film, or made after in honour of the film...

[Ikemi]

Good website for this sort of stuff: http://watchesinmovies.info/category/movies/

[LukeBird]

Yeah!
I love spotting watches on TV and in films...

Clarkson seems to wear a wide variety...

I don't think there is any geekness here...it's simply a regular male thing, watches.
