Do you find yourself watching a TV program just 'cause there's a Rolex in it?



I do......................."Two and a Half Men" is one of my favourites just 'cause Charlie Sheen wears that stunning Platinum YM right through the series.

Cheers - JJ

Not so much because of Rolex, but because of watches. My girlfriend gets upset with me as I pause the action and rewind to try to get a better look to attempt to identify what watch is being worn. Wow, the NBA finals was a cornucopia of watches.

Yes folks, I too must admit... I can relate! And JJ, I also noticed the watch in that.. AND there was an episode where another Rolex appears.. it was a gift from woman that also provided Charlie with that piano..? Haha.. I saw this episode a year or more ago so I hope I did not spoil it? The 2nd watch went to Charlie's brother.. who was QUITE excited to get this gift..

I know the one. The submariner episode. Think it was called "Alan Cousteau". Funny stuff.

I watched an entire uninteresting episode of Good Eats awhile ago just to make sure Alton Brown was wearing a Sub and not a lookalike.

I don't watch shows because there is a Rolex in it. I do my fair share of watch spotting and pausing, rewinding to indentify watches, tho...much to the dismay of my GF! haha.
The Two and a half men episode 'Alan Cousteu' was funny tho!

I don't watch a show because of the watches but I do notice the watches on the shows I watch.

Lots of Rolex action on the Food Channel; Emeril, Bobby Flay & Paula Deen, to name a few.

I think I noticed "Dr." Phil wearing something large and gold, but I usually leave the room when the MILF puts that show on.

We're only 20 so she doesn't understand me at ALL. Well, she didn't..

After we went to an AD and they put a RG Daytona and a diamond bezel DJ on her wrist she understood it, though!

She still doesn't get the "technical" part, but hey, she's learning!

I often stop movies or point out nice pieces anywhere we go. Grocery store, theatre, festivals.. It's pretty fun though, IMO. It tests your knowledge if you get to see a closer view and confirm your thoughts!


My only problem is when I see a Daytona or a TT blue faced Submariner, but it has INVICTA on the dial.

JJ, I always notice what kind of watch someone is wearing on TV, especially if it is a Rolex!
