Since I enjoyed the thread on Rolex in the movies, thought I'd ask the question regarding television shows...

My favorite is "I Spy"...both Robert Culp and Bill Cosby can be seen wearing Rolex GMTs. Culp, as the character Kelly Robinson, had the "Pepsi" Bezel. If I recall, Cosby, as Alexander Scott, wore this, too, as well as other models.

By the way, I think Cosby was a Rolex admirer...I read somewhere that each of his family members in "The Cosby Show" wore Rolexes on the show. I seem to recall pictures of Cosby wearing a Sub, too, as a young comedian.

Ok...what are your favorites?

I got my hands on a few old Bill Cosby stand up shows and in one he's wearing a Plat DD. In another art cover for "Why is there air" he has on a Pepsi. He also wore a DD on the Cosby Show and I think his wife wore a DJ. That show was way ahead of its time and I watched it often as a child.

Lew - We must have been watching the same show..posted from another thread RE: The Pepsi..

Beautiful!!
Just saw one "in action" on the late actor Robert Culp's wrist, in an old episode of that great 1960's TV show "I Spy".

The show ran 65-68..and Cup and Cosby were constantly wearing different Rolex models in their episodes.

Glad to see another "I Spy" fan, a really great show...

Crockett had the gold president in pilot, and part of first season. Had Ebel automatic, in almost all other episodes. Don't recall seeing a rolex on Tubbs though. Disclosure: Miami Vice DVD fanatic, S1-S3.

Magnum, PI was the first time I ever focused on the Rolex brand.

Did someone say Magnum P.I. ! ?

Me, the blonde cop in the background holding papers.

An extra on Magnum PI numerous times. Tom Selleck is a great guy.

That's totally awesome.

Sub4Life · 10 May 2013, 05:05 PM

My father, Magnum P.I., & 007 has influenced me since youth to own and appreciate Rolex.

Man of Kent · 10 May 2013, 05:14 PM

Jesse Stone is entertaining, like his watch and the way he deals with the baddies!

Singslinger · 10 May 2013, 08:07 PM

Magnum PI for sure but also Two and a half Men - Charlie Sheen wears a mid-sized Yachtmaster.

Reu · 10 May 2013, 08:28 PM

Lord Disick on The Kardashians. I love his watch collection.

Chris B · 10 May 2013, 08:28 PM

Two and a Half Men - Alan's Rolex

Vikingboy · 10 May 2013, 09:03 PM

Magnum wins for me.
Rob Dyrdek in 'ridiculousness' - that show cracks me up.
Gold Daytona, YM II and some others I recall.

Worse program is TOWIE which my missus watches, full range of every Rolex under the sun on their worn by the least aspirational role models you could swing a sledgehammer at.

If Magnum motivated my generation to wear pepsi's, the towie will be responsible for nobody wanting to be seen in a rolex in 20 years time!

cop414 · 10 May 2013, 09:06 PM

Two and a half men, Magnum PI and oh yea... 007. And Nicholas cage on National Treasure.

~JJ · 10 May 2013, 09:26 PM
