Tony,

I wish we could have a drink and talk about acting some time. And, you know, watches. (I just threw that last bit in there so nobody thinks I'm hijacking the thread.)

I'm in entertainment now (acting) & worked on a show recently where ALL the actors wore "official" fakes sanctioned by Rolex. They were all signed for in & out every day by props...

I have to say, I wouldn't dream of watching any reruns of MV now as the whole eighties thing leaves me cold & I wouldn't want to tarnish my memory of the show (bit like Magnum)

Did Warren Buffett move, 'cause I always thought that he was in Omaha, Nebraska?

You may be right, but, uh, Oklahoma, Nebraska, what's the difference?

This is a great thread, although I don't know who many of the American "celebs" are - that goes for some of the British ones too. I guess I'm just not in touch with the zeigeist. Anyway here's another Brit of whom you may have heard.

He's is a musician's musican, a pal of "Big Eric" and master of the boogie-woogie piano Mr. Jools Holland. He's never without his Rolex and has had it for 20 years plus.

Nebraska? That's the part we fly over from N.Y. to L.A.?

I think that's right.

Sellers must have been a cool dude. In addition to his acting (which speaks for itself), he was a Ferrari aficionado.

Maybe he was a mad watch guy, too. Like us.

BTW, what does "WIS" mean?

Fairly tortured dude if his biopic is accurate. Like many comedians. Jeez you'd think they were insecure or something.

Add to this the hopefully soon to be ex-coach of the Phoenix Suns with his Daytona. He plays his Daytona more often than a lot of his bench players which is why they lost to the Spurs...again!

Peter Fonda's Prototype Gold Rolex Worn In "Easy Rider." While sitting on a beach in France and watching the tide come in shortly after filming his scenes for the anthology movie Spirits of the Dead (1968), Peter Fonda experienced a burst of creativity that resulted in the first draft Easy Rider being put on paper in less than three hours. It was his first screenplay, and Peter rewarded himself by purchasing this 18k gold prototype Rolex GMT Master watch with date feature. The watch is very briefly visible in the early, pre-credit scenes of the movie. (There was no way Peter was going to risk damaging the watch, naturally, so a different one was used for the scene where his character tosses it away.)

Agreed. Comedians earn their prizes (Bentleys, Rolexes, Britt Ekland) because they're ridden by the Gotta-Be-Funny loa.

Hey, I like to laugh too...
