If your Rolex was an actor, who would it be?

Dec 10, 2014,05:46 AM
 

I just started this theme on JLC and it seems only appropriate to start on Rolex. We associate our watches. We see in them something. Now, that is such a subjective process that the same watch can represent widely different thinking...so as a form of social experiment, which actor (actress) do you associate with your Rolex....explain why if you wish....but no need.


I will start with one of my Sea-Dwellers.....the Rail Dial......because its important to stay on the right lines.

the 1665....undeniably cool but at the same time with a certain physical presence. Marcellus Wallace......

Let´s see... What about Lloyd Bridges as Mike Nelson of Sea Hunt Fame? And my Mike Nelson watch... A 5508 Submariner similar to the one Lloyd Bridges wore on this series. Sea Hunt was my favorite series during my far youth in the late fifties and early si...

One of my fav modern Rolex's still is the Millgauss GV - I truly like her colorful appeal & a bit of an exuberant aura.. With the colors of green, orange etc it's sometimes called " Jamaica type " or " Rasta looks ".. And that brings me to a cute & hilari...
