Noticed on the front cover of Rolling Stone magazine today that Sir Paul is wearing an Aquanaut. I seem to remember that Ringo wears one too.

Ringo fair enough.....but not Paul..
He can do better, or not? :P
hmmm!
Well I like him. I generally like his music and I think he has an excellent voice. I must admit I was rather surprised to see him wearing an expensive watch - I was always under the impression that he was a bit of a miser with his cash. Still from his point of view the Patek is the equivalent of a £1.99 jobbie bought from the Sunday Market.
More importantly, Van Halen do have a new album out which is superb!
Althought I'm not sure whether Eddie Van Halen is a WIS or not :D
Would've expected a "modest" Calatrava if any PP at all on his wrist....
Strange pose. For a second I though he was smoking a joint.
My thought exactly. Then I thought he ate a biscuit, but it looks like a computer chip... Don't know what the h... he is doing...
A tiny harmonica, isn't it?
Isnt it the spring clips from Heathers Leg

Yeah. I like Paul McCartney too. The way people talk you'd think there was only john lennon in the Beatles! Yeah, 'Macca' gets a bit up his own arse at times - but then lennon was the most pretentious one of the lot! End of the day there were only 4 beatles (NOT 5! :roll: ) and sooner than we think there'll be none - and that'll be a loss. As far as im concerned if youre a member of the Beatles youre rock royalty and you can pretty much do anything you want style-wise and still be cooler than the guy next to you. As for Mr McCartney being a miser - a./ Did we gain this information from a reliable source? Or the press? b./ his money - his business.
He has always worn a cheap Casio in the past. Must be a gift from the new Mrs, so he has to wear it.

I did some work in his studio for him a few years ago and he took time to sit and chat to me. I must say that he was a really nice, warm and friendly person. We spoke about his music, guitar playing and the early days of The Beatles and then I watched him play the piano for a while. Seemed like a very decent bloke to me.
Great watch. Great musician. Simple as that.
Can't argue with that at all. Add nice bloke too.
What if you found out someone you thought was really cool wore one? Would you bifurcate? ;)
One of the nicest chaps I know has a Speedy Pro. Someone I know who isn't so nice, also has one. Ah, whose behaviour should govern mine first...
...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!
He needs to take it a bit easier with the Just For Men
Hard core veggie = rubber strap, I presume.
Re Van Halen: didn't Michael Anthony (the bassist) have a connection with a watch company?
______
Jim.
Nice watch - doesn't look so great there.
Also given that PP favour greyhaired hedge fund men in their late thirties/early forties for a bunch of their ads having a 'chestnut' haired man in his seventies might not be in line with their marketing.
im not sure that i could picture him with anything other than patek.
theyre in my head as slightly old man watches.
still, the nautilus is a lovely thing.
Ditto all of that!Yeah. I like Paul McCartney too. The way people talk you'd think there was only john lennon in the Beatles!

His Rolex is on his left wrist :D
This watch was added for the photo shoot
:twisted:
:lol:
After-eight?My thought exactly. Then I thought he ate a biscuit, but it looks like a computer chip... Don't know what the h... he is doing...
I like them both :wink:
I have a tiny harmonica like that and the only tune you can play on the 4 notes is " If I was a rich man ".
Wonder if Macca can get more out of it ?.
Puts me off..
I'm sure that's not the only Patek he has been photographed wearing? As has been said he is one of the nicest guys you could hope to meet. And a true music legend.
Couldn't have taken him very long to talk about his guitar playing. :roll:
I didn't need much already to put me off Patek, but he has helped.
Whereas you could talk for hours about your guitar playing I expect. :roll:
I'd struggle to think of any bands with a quality back catalogue as huge as paul McCartney / the Beatles. A proper band. We'll not see the likes of these again.
Nowt wrong with that - it could have been much more ostentatious.
This aquanaut is the watch he wore at his wedding, if anyone cares.
Love the watch, can't stand him or any of the other Beatles. No, I've never met him.....but who cares.

Just don't understand why some people have spiteful attitudes like this. Jealousy I suspect. Actually it was me who asked him about some of the chord shapes from the Beatles songs. He was really cool and only too pleased to explain. I really enjoyed chatting to him.

You can say what you like about the man (and he is only human after all), but to criticise him musically is pretty comical. Whether you like The Beatles or not, you can't deny that they were one of the most successful and influential bands ever.
