8 Iconic Watches in Movies
Just read this article...two Rolexes made the list...of course the Bond Sub is in there.

I don't follow Panerai like I do Rolex and thought it was quite interesting to read that Sly Stallone 'saved' the company.

Stallone was definitely credited with boosting interest in the watch. That said, I'm sure there are a lot of folks who would not want to emulate him.

Arnold is a Panerai king. I think "True Lies" starts out with a Panerai Luminor screen shot.

Not really what you might call 'iconic' but it's not every day you see a Tudor in the movies...Tom Cruise with a THC in MI Ghost Protocol. (Try telling him he couldn't afford a Rolex).
