Too much bling for me, but Mark Wahlberg makes much anything look cool

Love this one:

Mark is one of the good guys.

As for the “lack of taste” comments, imagine in his shoes what he thinks of your lack thereof.

It won't be height, that's for sure.

Hard to say. There is the real life McQueen the man and then there is the image McQueen. There are a lot of dichotomy is between the two.

$500,000 watch. Wow!
Those that don’t like it can rest. Bet they can’t afford it anyway.

How do you know. If he were here today, he might very well wear something like that. In the 1960-70s, Rolex wasn't marketing or pushing these iced watches. Nor was a Rolex in this price range. Rolex was creating and inventing new technologies.
To say McQueen or Newman wouldn't do "xyz" is simply irrational.

Because someone has diamonds in there Rolex doesn't mean they don't have taste. And I would suspect this particular watch has a Boston theme attached to it which he may be supporting in his own way.

It's amazing how when someone has something we don't like, such as a brightly colored car, or diamonds on a watch, or extravagant shoes....people become all sorts of experts and final say in what is taste and approved fashion....but if we saw other parts of luxury living like flying in personal jets, sailing in giant yachts, or lounging in huge multi million dollar homes we don't say..."oh, money can't buy sense, obviously just loves to throw money away".
So many experts on life here...sometimes it's like "The View" but male TRF version, sigh...

Good guy?

I think some of his victims might not agree.

What's laughable is that we are here to talk about Rolexes and watches and now we're getting pitchforks to attack personalities and a person character.
How did we turn from Rolex to his personal life?
We should all have our life's made public to see if everyone here is so innocent and clean.

Mine would make Mark’s look like tearing the tag off a mattress.

Many teenagers make mistakes, of varying degrees.
So let’s forget what one does with the rest of one’s life?

I think Mark's one of the good guys, has the same wife who bore his four kids I think it is, which is very rare in Hollywood, so probably a good family man. And he does like his drink, he went on Graham Norton drunk and it was pretty funny, he talks about it often.

That’s Mark Wahlberg, the 26th president of France.
