Theo Paphitis' watch (Dragons Den)

[pitzzapia]

Hey guys, does anyone know what watch Theo Paphitis has? Lately the camera crew has been zooming to it quite often, but not long enough to see what make it is! I'm sure its out of my price range but I'd still like to know

From the glimpses i caught the other night, i was thinking it might be a Franck Muller

Looks spot on to me, cheers

It was what he was wearing on last dragons den and top gear a couple of weeks back.

Hi There,

The watch he is wearing is:

Frank Muller
Black Cortez Conquisitor
Made out of PVD the same material used to protect helicopter blades.
RRP: 10K

Quite hard to get hold of.

How do i know?....

Because i have one, its a really nice watch, different, and curves around the wrist.

[pastrana72]

fair play to you.

Surely it is steel with a PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating?

[Not Ideal]

Correct - steel with PVD coating

The episode I watched of Dragons' Den (broadcast on 2/8/10) is still available on BBC iPlayer and Theo Paphitis is wearing a gold watch.
At 11:10-11:16 I think I'm pretty confident it's the supercool Rolex Yachtmaster II.
As it is gold with matt finish on the outer parts of the bracelet but a gloss/shine finish running through the centre.
Also it has a blue bezel.
It can be found at:

Hi There,

Bloody hell! Top lurking!

Anyone know what watch Peter Jones has been wearing for the past couple of episodes? Screenshot:

I was wondering about Peters watch as well - thought it might be a pan as its pretty chunky but screen shot looks as though it something different....

Any other ideas?

[Tiggsy]

wow...some of those FM watches look like something Willy Wonka would wear! Each to their own i suppose!

[MarsellusWallace]

Yes Theo was wearing a YM2.To be honest I'm not keen on it and prefer the classic uncomplicated look of the YM1

No idea, although the dial looks as if it has some sort of Guilloche pattern ... Anyone have any thoughts?

I believe Theo also has a YM1, as well as a TT Daytona and a GMT II ... One of his first jobs was with Watches of Switzerland

I think that Peter's watch might be a Cartier Pasha of some description. In the cap it looks as if it has a dark coloured winder?

There's definitely a hint of cabochon there, isn't there?

See James Caan is wearing his AP T3 today.

I asked the chaps on TZ-UK what they thought and so far the closest match looks to be a Calibre de Cartier, which incoporates Cartier's new in-house movement ... This colour scheme is the best match, but I still think that the dial in the screenshot is grey, rather than brown:
