Flipping thru one of the shows I watch and saw what appears to be a Rolex sub.

Can anyone confirm looking at the photo if you the agent Sam is actually wearing a sub?

Do TV and movies use genuine pieces or (shudder) fakes?

It is a ceramic sub date
I think most actors wear their personal watches on set

Uh, those crown guards and crown look a bit "off" to me! Not entirely convinced it is real.

The Green Milgauss was a key plot device in one of the episodes of NCIS LA.

In a lot of TV shows the actors can be seen wearing their own personal watches and this is probably the case in some movies too but I have also read (here I think) that when they are provided for the film by costume designers they use fakes. In the particular post I read it was from somebody in the business who said that in their daily work they are too busy with other things to also have to look after wacthes worth thousands of dollars when they use them for filming.

If not the actors own then usually fakes as they're all from wardrobe/costume departments and real one's wouldn't last long.

Crown looks too far out?

I can attest that all of the above is correct. Fakes ARE used. But for the most part wardrobe departments reachout to collectors/dealers/watch-companies to use the real thing.

I have personally worked with dozens of tv/movies to place watches in their productions.

That's a very strange one. The width of the lugs suggest a Sub C. However the markers are small, and the pearl is flat, suggesting an earlier Sub version. Also the crown guards are too long and thin, also looking like a 16610.
I would think this is either a fake or a homage.
