Avengers of Rolex Watchers

okay... this is out of nowhere. first off, let me say that i am a nerd in many ways. i was just thinking that the subc lv is nicknamed "the hulk" and since the movie, the avengers, is coming out in a few weeks, i was asking and thinking what "the avengers" are in rolex watches. my thoughts: subc lv - the hulk, gmt master pepsi - captain america, milgauss - thor, but i can't think of the watch for iron man. your thoughts?

Iron Man - I think you need something that is high-tech, represents a playboy lifestyle, and something that does its thing a bit differently. I think the Sky-Dweller would be spot on!

So it's obvious they need to do a remake . . with the correct watch ;-)

He wore a JLC Amvox Tourbillion in the sequal I think, so he came to his senses. They should have added The Flash to The Avengers, that would have been a great Milgauss

Funny enough here is a pic I took this morning (iron man in the background) for the WRUW thread that I did not use since the date was wrong! Damn Omega!

I thought Ironman was wearing a JLC? The JLC did came out with a press release on the Iron Movie last year.

correct - Irom man 2 actually involved a scene in which his assistant asks which watch he would like to wear - and he chooses "the Jaeger"...


Iron Man 1 was the Bvlgari - great close up shot...



- as much of a comicbook geek as I am, I just can't go along with this thread...

(plus I'ma DC guy - and Jaeger has had Batman since 1995 ( the Reverso became a videophone for Val Kilmer)

The new Superman wears a Breitling in his offtime...would b ecool to see some product placement in that one...

I feel kinda nerdy posting in this thread, but, since I don't know who Thor is, I guess I'm okay.

Anyway, with the iron cage in the Milgauss, I would have thought that would be the right watch for Iron Man.

A quick advance search for Tony Starks and my name (FremStar) on TRF will yield your answer on which model I feel Iron Man should be named after ;-)
