Okay, so this post might be most interesting for my fellow Danes. In Denmark we have a series of movies from the 60s-80s called Olsen Banden about three pretty rubbish robbers always screwing up and one of them ending up in jail all the time. They are pretty funny and a real cultural treasure here in Denmark. They are also cool because of all the filming in Copenhagen during that time (I love old films and photos of cities and towns). I watched the one from 1972 yesterday and two watches appeared close up, when they were timing something during a heist. The first one @ConElPueblo should find interesting 馃榾

One robber, Benny, wears a Tissot on a NATO strap



The kid of one of the robbers, Boerge, wears an Eterna Matic on a racing strap it seems.

There's a lot of watch spotting to be done in movies, two things that I love. I have actually been meaning to make an IG post about this, but Zodiac comes to mind and The Big Short where the watches are very cleverly befitting of their owners.
Will dig up some pics later.

Scarface-Omega La Magique. Might get a Zodiac Astrographic one day just to cure my need for a La Magique.
Ronin- Jardur Bezelmeter.
Arnie Seiko and many more..
I love it when movies match the character to the wristwatch, for example in Scarface you have a rising drug dealer who obviously required something flashy to fit with his persona. In Ronin, a character with a military background wears a tool watch. As for Arnie's Seiko, we all know those watches can take a bashing. Great post Op. Those robbers had taste!
