The Sands of Iwo Jima...snapped this just a moment ago. When the woman is out of town, I get to indulge in all the classics 😜

Surprised that nobody mentioned Ultraman 😀

I guess technically it is a TV series and not a movie.

Watched an old rerun of Nash Bridges. Look at what Don Johnson was wearing:

Looks like one of these:

I haven't, but will try to find out. I thought perhaps those more knowledgeable than I could offer that answer.

When I first saw it "Helbros" clicked in my memory, but the lugs don't match other images of WW2 era Helbros Chronographs.

It looks like it may be missing a rotating bezel.

It's one of those where if you press pause it's not very clear, but fortunately it is a rather long (a few seconds) shot so I'll revisit this when I get home 👍

Wasp Network: USD8,000 Rolex Submariner (silver with blue dial)

Didnt see it. But figured prominently in dialogue between Ana de Armas and a guy.

Isn't the Rolex one of Robin Masters's that Magnum borrowed?
I could be wrong but Magnum is constantly making a habit of "borrowing" stuff from his boss/friend/ benefactor.
In the original series, Magnum is given his father's GMT Master BLRO when he's a young boy at his father's funeral. His dad was a Naval Aviator in Korea. The closing shot in the episode is of a young Thomas saluting his father's casket with his dad's GMT hanging loosely from his tiny wrist. In the new series there has been no mention of the GMT Master's provenance, just some wrist shots showing it's the older 5-digit model and not a new ceramic bezel model.

Thought this was interesting
So ironic. When I think of a typical Rolex owner Patrick Bateman is the first thing that comes to mind.

In the 1994 movie "Speed", Keanu Reeves wears a Casio G-Shock watch.
He definitely needs a shock-resistant watch for all those explosion scenes where he tries to save Sandra Bullock.

State of Play - Russel Crowe wears a Speedmaster.

I was searching for a good picture of Crowe and his Speedy from the movie. When I changed my search to "russell crowe speedmaster" and who shows up in the results? Right inbwtween Crowe and Pierce Brosnan? Our very own @Mad Dog, and his ever-present Duncan Donuts coffee!

@Mad Dog as a top hit on Google. That's the takeaway here.

Looks like we have our own celebrity, right here among us. 😀
