Paul Newman has the Daytona.
JFK & Johnson are known for the President.
Chuck Yaeger advertised the GMT.

All of these men are above traditional marketing such as Tiger with Nike, Buick, Etc.

What about other models - who is somewhat a celebrity, oozes ultra class, but remains understated. Must be somebody current so no Jacques Cousteau's!

Sub/SD - ?
Milgauss - ?
Explorer I/II - ?
**EDIT** Yachty - JJ Irani (no more suggestions needed)

Tougher than you think - I am stuck.

John Mayer is a general Rolex fanatic, maybe he could fit in somewhere.

John Mayer is too plastic for me - but it is cool he is a die-hard fan.

Hi, Folks,
The Austrian conductor Herbert von Karajan (born 100 years ago this year) was frequently photographed wearing a Rolex. These pictures appeared in magazines, record sleeves (an old persons CD - pre i-pod) and film. He wore his watch face down (towards the palm of his hand). I first noticed his watch on photos dated from the late 1960s. I do not know if his hobbies of sailing and driving Porsches (among other prestige cars) attracted the brand to him or him to the brand. I do not know if anyone knows which model he wore (the way the watch was worn hid its identity). I believe that he was involved in some sailing events connected with Rolex. On a musical note (pardon the pun) I seem to remember Edward Heath (late UK prime minister) in his book about music wearing what appeared to be a gold day-date president, interesting considering the origins of the president name.

Steve McQueen and the 1655 Explorer II?

boa2 · 26 August 2008, 08:09 AM

Explorer II...Ewan McGregor

Sub...Jason Statham

Milgauss...Don King, of course!

Perdu · 26 August 2008, 08:29 AM

Sir Edmond Hilary and Tenzing Norgay for the Explorer.

Perdu · 26 August 2008, 08:31 AM

Although no longer sponsored (he is now sponsored by Kobold), Sir Ranalph Fiennes for the GMT Master.

steel4me · 26 August 2008, 08:52 AM

I say Jacques cousteau for the SD ... but he is dead .. hard to wear a watch when you are dead ....

We need real people, not that sissy Bond to advertize the sub or SD ...

IWC makes an Aquatimer Cousteau, now in its 2nd or 3rd edition. The first one is pictured below.

The back of the latest one has an image of the Calypso

zak98 · 26 August 2008, 11:05 PM

have seen roger federer in rolex ads wearing gold gmtii-c. pics of him wearing same watch seem to be pretty prevelant elsewhere.

cr1ckett · 26 August 2008, 11:17 PM

Roger Federer regularily sports a Milgauss GV.

cr1ckett · 26 August 2008, 11:45 PM

I know hes not GLOBAL name but 'Phil Mitchell' in Eastenders (UK Soap Opera) sports a SUB. Its cheesy but i just had to give him a mention.

Rolexitis · 27 August 2008, 12:32 AM

I can't remember the movie title, but Mel Gibson sported a GMT Master in a movie where he was a military pilot in the jungle.

mfer · 27 August 2008, 12:36 AM

Brad Pitt loves the Rolex.

He can get away with anything it seems. He is a sponsor for Omega in the states, but Rolex in Japan. I always see pics of him wearing Rolex. I think he work a YG GMT IIc in Oceans movies.
