Crazy Rich Asians
Fun flick. Saw it last night with a group of friends. Wifey loved it as did I and the rest of our group.
As you might imagine there are a few recognizable watches too. I believe there was a 6263, definitely a Richard Mille, a forum favorite in what I think was a Hublot and a few more. A little bit of eye candy for car guys and gals too. We all thought Aquafina stole the show. You definitely don’t have to be Asian to enjoy this film but it will be extra special if you are. Recommended. |

My boss (Chinese) was talking to me about it the other day. I had never heard of the book/movie, which is strange because I’m usually on top of what’s buzzing at the moment. I guess I’ve just been out of the loop.
I watched the trailer and it seems like a fun movie. I’ll definitely check it out. |

I believe the 6263 belongs to a renowned collector. Eric Ku. Great looking watch. It's on his instagram.

As fate would have it I was wearing a super casual setup PAM111 on a snow camp strap. Would have been super douchy to rhapsodize over a Daytona over post movie drinks while wearing one. |

We saw it last night as well (wife read all 3 books). I'd have to say, it would be nice if my wife gifted me a 6263 one day.

My wife is of Chinese decent and really wants to see the film. I do as well. She read the book and loved it. Another movie I really want to see is 11/9.

I saw a trailer for this movie last night and it didn’t give a single clue as to what this movie is about. Just a flash of people I don’t recognize in places I didn’t recognize, absolutely no dialog whatsoever. It provided zero information and left me feeling annoyed with no desire whatsoever to see this movie.

Lead characters that looks like us. http://www.latimes.com/entertainment...810-story.html Since it is a rom-com it isn’t going to be everyone’s cup of tea but beyond beyond a fun escapist flick it also has importance beyond the entertainment value. And honestly it’ll be good business. I think I read that it cost roughly 30mil to make. I’d be surprised if it doesn’t gross that on the first weekend. |

I'm actually interested in seeing it. Grew up in Irvine where my neighbors where Asian college kids who's parents lived in Singapore bought them a $1.5m+ house so they could go to UCI and they drove an M3, GTR, Mclaren and R8.
