Right on mate! I caught in on TV last year


TJ Miller, that dude in Silicon Valley wears one regularly. Even in Deadpool iirc.

Slash probably posts anonymously here on TRF. Someone smoke him out by starting a "Rolex with your top hat...Let's see 'em!" thread.

Exactly, hence why I prefer to make an "observation' of one of our own who wears one of many and bettet.

I agree. He wore it every show of the last series too.

I like Top Gear now. For me it's getting pretty close to being on a par with The Grand Tour - which just gets more stupid each week.

Grand Tour has got better than the first series but I’m more of a fan of Top Gear. Though I have been watching Chris Harris videos for a long time before his Top Gear day’s

And I agree, for someone like “Joey” to wear a Hulk when he can have any watch he wants, means that he does like it alot

Many people on here will be wealthy beyond comprehension.
There will also probably be many active celebrities.
There are certainly many WIS.

But I couldn’t care less – I am happy to be just a WI and enjoy this forum because it is friendly and the people (rich or poor, celebrity or not) share a common interest.

I have little interest in celebrities but it is interesting for me to see anybody (well known or not) wearing a watch that I own or covet.

Just saw a pic of Johnny Football with one on as well... Article title "Manziel would love to sign with Patriots as Brady’s backup" is the article title. I cannot post pictures just yet.

Watch enthusiast and car enthusiast tend to be the same people. Both cultures have been intertwined as long as there have been cars. That attraction to mechanical excellence is undeniable.

Many of us show our watches with our cars not out of showing off but showing our common passion for both hobbies. The original Top Gear always had a plethora of fine time pieces. I don’t think Jeremy Clarkson ever took of his Omega PO on rubber strap.

So in 50 years the "LeBlanc Hulk" will garner a higher auction price than the Newman Daytona? Come on now.

No, it’s a LVc. It’s the live screen shot I took distorted the color.
The best shot was when they were trying Japanese road food.

Captain Slow always had the coolest watches on Top Gear. The ones I remember are the white dial Rolex Milgauss, the Omega Seamaster Albatros and the Omega Dynamic.

That green sunburst dial kept flashing green in the action scenes but looked black when the video paused to take the screen shot. It kinda became a game for me to take a pic of it. WIS sickness knows no limits.

Hulk is still on Matt’s arm on the latest episode. I must say, it jumped out at you on screen and the green looked amazing. Here are just a few quick shots, it was all over flashing its green.

I wish the new show success as there is no other car show like it out there. Car culture is dying with the millennial Uber generation.
