Saw it yesterday, great movie.

Pretty sure it was a sub as well.

It was worn by one of the guys in Steve Carrel's posse during the movie (Casey Groves perhaps?) It was an OysterQuartz like the one below, or an even rarer DateJust in an OysterQuartz case:

I did a quick Big Short google image search and did not see a shot, but if you ever see the movie again, it's in there....

From my own observations, the dial looks bigger than a sub. I'm thinking it's an SD4000 that Steve Carrell is wearing in The Big Short

SD 4000 and sub have same dial at 40mm
If anything , sub C would look larger than SD4K dus to maxi case with large lugs

Palm Beach is covered up in Rolexes. Most I've ever seen in one place.

jnkay · 31 December 2015, 08:57 AM

Good catch on the Oyster Quartz. That one got a lot of close-up time as well.

Don Johnson not a real actor? I'd be willing to have that conversation with you, and I'll even buy the first three beers.

But I don't want to go OT in this thread and bore everyone else to death.

Steve Carell in Big Short wearing a sub date.

Marrk · 31 December 2015, 02:42 PM

@kingSubTT: I had a to laugh. Is this supposed to be "definitive." Because, on my screen, not only can I not make out the reference, but the dial looks white.

It is. When he moves his hand, the dial turns black, but the cyclops disappears.

I saw the film, and I agree with you. As near as I can tell, it looks like some kind of a Sub Date.

But if somebody walked in the door and showed me the very watch, and it turned out to be a black bezel insert GMT IIc, I wouldn't be too surprised.

If I recall correctly, she has the back engraved on the DSSD for him, which to my knowledge, is impossible. You can't engrave it per Rolex guidelines. But I guess any things possible...in movies.

Looks like the Sub Date 116610

@w3i: You're killin' me, man. Those are incredible screen shots. This closes the case for me. It's a Sub.

Every time I look at this picture, I think, "Diane Kruger is trying to get rid of that Deepsea because even a dumb actress can figure out that it's too big to wear."

Okay, I apologize to all you Deepsea lovers. And to you, Diane. You know I always had a thing for you.

This is such an incredibly beautiful photograph — hard to take your eyes off it. And I don't even like OysterQuartz watches.

sheldonsmith · 3 January 2016, 04:32 AM

Yes its a great photo but its not mine but rather Hannes' who runs a German Rolex forum and contributes to www.oysterquartz.net

Great guy and friend to the Rolex community.

The dials aren't 40mm, that's the case size. I believe the Sea-Dweller's dial is 1mm smaller than the Submariner dial.

Any fast N Loud fans, Richads Sub no date or SD

Anyone know which model Robert Redford is wearing in this photo?

No Date Sub as the bracelet end-links are not raised like on the SD

In the 2016 Golden Globe awards.

Richard from Gas Monkey wears a DSSD, he has several nice time pieces, but seems to favor the DSSD.

I think it was a new Submariner, which was a mistake for the time the movie take place in. The watch had a cyclops on it. And the bracelet stood out more vs maxi case. Anyway, just my theory, ive been wrong on these before. Another one was Oyster Quartz from the Stever Carell HF team.

Btw, the movie is in a different league to Wolf of Wallstreet. You want good writing and finance film? Watch Too Big to Fail and Margin Call. Those were great because there was no stupid love story made into it so that people could "relate to it". The way Big Short makes it easier to understand for non finance guy the concepts discussed was way more interesting too, i might add.

Ryan Seacrest at the Detroit Auto Show Ford announcement Monday Jan 11. Looks like a pre-Zenith Daytona.
