Celebrities that wear ROLEX...

Ever wonder which ones are members on the Forum, and post?

Just a thought I had. I expect there are plenty that lurk.

I’ve often pondered the same thought as well, I’m sure we have quite the amount on here.

Dont know John Mayers music but one of the networks had a bit on luxury watches featuring his collection this morning.

He's been a watch fanatic since he was a kid and his first Rolex was a ExpII

Honestly I'd doubt theres many...maybe a few. Most celebs that wear rolexes were gifted it and likely not into watches, in my opinion. But in reality who knows

BTW, Luke attended Appalachian St University, and did a nice video that was shown at my daughter’s graduation there a few weeks ago. Go Mountaineers!

While there are plenty of celebs who buy, wear, and collect Rolex, out of that lot, very very few are passionate enough about Rolex to know the nitty gritty minutia that is often discussed in these forums (besides the $€Ł aspect that has taken over the boards past few year).

There are famous people on this forum. That's a fact. Not naming names.

Just from a numbers standpoint there is a 100% certainty that atleast 1 member is a celebrity. I wonder how active they are on here though

Who cares. People who play pretend for a living ?

I'd rather hear about a blue collar worker who loves timepieces and has saved for an amazing piece.

Actually yes. I have wondered who’s on here. It would be cool to message with them about watches and not even know they are famous.

Think you might have too narrow a view of celebrities. Luke Combs, mentioned above is actually quite a talented musician.

I don’t know if he’s a member or not, doesn’t matter. But the story of him walking into a NY AD and getting brushed off before mentioning he wanted to wear the watch for his show at MSG that night is pretty epic. Certainly doesn’t look like a “typical” Rolex buyer, but guess it’s a lesson for ADs to never judge a book by its cover. I don’t even think he was after anything that crazy. If I recall it was a YMII or something.

I’m sure there are several. Mark Wahlberg seems like a great guy and he’s cool in my book as he is a Rolex fanatic. That’s how I judge people. He also buys basketball cards for his kids, which makes him even cooler in my book. I took my son to a card show yesterday just outside of Chicago and it was a blast. But, the strangest thing about the whole experience was how many Rolexes I saw. Everyone had one on. It was literally the biggest number of Rolex watches that I’ve ever seen in one place, by far. And, it wasn’t super busy or really large show either.

Celebrities are people too, and they have hobbies, so it stands to reason some of them are into watches and participate anonymously on this board.

I doubt if any will ever reveal themselves publicly on here.

Back in the early days of the internet, before social media really took off, it was not unheard of for celebs to interact with fans and the general public online and openly participate in message boards regarding their works. I knew a guy who befriended character actor Curtis Armstrong on a message board (regarding a hobby of mutual interest) back in the late 90's, early 2000's. Actually went out to California and stayed in his house a couple times and met his family. Something like that feels far less likely today.

Didn't know Wahlberg was a Rolex guy, but he is funny. Saw "The Other Guys" on TV the other day and the scene where they go meet Will Ferrell's "plain" wife just kills me every time. Wahlberg's reaction is what makes that scene so good.
