All the hype around the watches they owned/wore?Originally Posted by ped
Good thread, would read again.
Sick of pointless threads
That's a bit disappointing, I was just going to start a thread about McQueen's TR6C Trophy 'Desert Sled' and how it probably represents better value that is more representative of the man.
Great Post

I feel this deserves a mention 😂
More interesting than "how do I get on the list?" ...

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
Yup, me too.
How about a nice picture of a Triumph engined Rickman Metisse............

Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
Shouldn't this be in the H&V section?

That went well!
Ive got a really itchy bit on my back and I cant reach it.
I agree. Tired of all these watches named after famous dead people.
Anyway, here's Jim Clark and his Enicar Sherpa Graph
Another really nice Rickman Metisse.

This is fantastic, love the edits... "The Ped"
Did somebody say Nina Rindt?
Another really nice Rickman Metisse.
The same Metisse in fact, shot at the same time as the other photo, in the same studio lot. Steve is wearing the same shirt and shades, and even the Mustang and Beetle parked in front of the door in the background are the same.
Mind you, any Metisse is worth repeating.

Yes you’re right should have said another photo really . Might even be some more, who knows?
Stunningly beautiful bikes.
I'm sick of b*****s shakin' a***s
I'm sick of talkin' about blunts,
Sick of Versace glasses,
Sick of slang,
Sick of half-ass awards shows,
Sick of name brand clothes.
Sick of R&B b*****s over bull**** tracks...

Funniest "Steve McQueen watch" is the Explorer II 1655.
He never wore one.
He never owned one.
Still it's called "Steve McQueen Explorer II".
Some great replies. There have only been about six articles referencing Newman and McQueen since my first post
Pointless thread. If you’re sick of them don’t read the posts/articles on them simples.

And certainly don't create a thread about it and bump it when it's long dead. Feels more like a secret man-crush to me.
Ha yeah or attention seeking.

Hard to avoid though, liking watches and all. If there was a plug in I could install to hide any mention I'd do that.

Sorry, I'll make sure I put any potential thread replies past you first for approval
Doesn't really bother me, both are sort of brand ambassadors for vintage Rolex as they were noted for regularly wearing them. I had a 5512 and the fact that Steve McQueen wore one was great, same watch as the king of cool.
Interestingly, a McQueen 5512 sold at auction for $250k whilst the Newman Daytona fetched $18m or something like that. Both watches had family provenence so the market clearly prefers Newman out of the two.

Perfect, thank you.
Definitely more articles on Newman!
Both were lizards and never wore jeans with razor slashed knees.
It’s called ignore them and don’t read them. Simples

OK thanks, could say the same for forum topics right?
I hate Batman and Batgirl. Fictitious.
Well done! Now I’ve educated you I’ll move in to more interesting forum topics.

You aren't doing it properly Martin. To properly and fully express your apathy, you have to stew long and hard about Batman and Batgirl, create a thread expressing your apathy and then regularly bump the thread with more apathy.
For those unable to take the thread with a pinch of humour, allow me to provide an example of why this particular fascination of the watch media annoys me so.
Watchville is an aggregator which takes watch news from a bunch of different sources around the web - most of it good reading of course. But in the last two days there have been four articles about this duo (and one indirect).
Call it what you like, but after reading about watches for years now, seeing the same things come up again and again leaves me wondering how much exactly that can be written about them (the irony of this thread not being lost)
I’m glad some of you can see the point I’m making, realise that you can’t avoid things which annoy you (you’ve got to see them first?!) rather than think for some reason that I’m posting - ‘bumping’ this for some other reason which I can’t possibly imagine.

Ped gets it, look how much he doesn't care.
Clearly I do care, hence thread - not sure what your function is though
