Reply With QuoteHamilton Khaki King - House M.D.
Watching season 6 of Dexter on DVD, and noticed Batista wears a Hamilton Ventura.
Now I really want one.
Seems unbelievably stupid to decide I want something because a fictional character on a TV show has one, so I thought I'd ask if any of you have similar experiences.
Hamilton Khaki King - House M.D.
Telly:
Professionals - Prosche Design P'6000 chrono.
Magnum PI - Rolex GMT
Films
North Sea Hijack - Sekio 600m Tuna (also bond film)
Dark of the Sun - Rolex Sub
The Deep - Rolex Sub
Commando - Seiko Arnie
Bobby Deerfield- Seiko Helmet head Chrono
There are others I'm sure...need to look at the collection to remember!!!
Well, that makes me feel a lot better.
Planet Ocean- James bond
Stathan - Transporter 2 - Daylight Panerai!
Plus One, but not with the black dial. Still, really nice watch for the cash.Originally Posted by MzM
...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!
Felix Lighter - QoS - Hamilton Khaki X-Wind
When I was a kid I always wanted that watch Michael Knight had for talking to KITT
I've been trying to work out what quinn wears on Dexter season 6, anyone know?
In the Rockford Files James Garner wore a Heuer Carerra:
Yep, I really like/d the Rockford files and was always interested in the watch he wore. Ok, this is the re-edition but a stunning watch. The only thing stoping me buying one is the fact that they're quite small by modern standards at 36mm (I have 2 military Seiko chronos at this size and they are small!)

DiCaprio's Breitling Chrono Avenger in Blood Diamond. I already owned the watch but the movie made me wear it more...
+1!
And Man vs Wild made me dream of an Emergency (which I presently own, the Avenger is sadly gone....)
You are not alone!
Andreas
tried www.watch-id.com?
Watching the film Ronin last night and spotted Robert De Niro wearing a Hanhart. Couldn't make out the model but never the less......Cool!
As a kid I watched "The Gemini Man" where the guy could become invisible by pressing a button on his digital watch. I thought this was the most fantastic thing ever, and made (already cool) digital watches the ultimate dream gadget for me.
In my late teens/early 20's, seeing Tiff Needell wearing a Navi, and Senna wearing a TAG made me want those.
Fracture - Ryan Gosling
I've always wanted an IWC Portuguese, and although I'm still saving for one, this film really cemented my love of this watch!
Great film Ronin, one of my favourites.
+1, that watch was awsome.....PIIIP...you are invisble for 15min......PIIIP you are back!
Hey, don't forget the atomic watch of Captain Future....
Dr. No - Rolex Sub
(Obviously the film, but it's been on the telly!)

On celeb masterchef I saw Andi peters wearing a Montblanc Timewalker and even he made it look good so I was sold. I love the bracelet!
Pronounced Lonin of course, no Rs in Japanese, tho they have Ls and so does English so where the hell has this R come from? And the noodles you all like are Lamen not Ramen.
James Martin often wears a Green Sub LV.
I often try to spot the guest chefs' watches too.

Dick Strawbridge (the eco-engineer chap with a huge tash).
Omega Bond.
Made me want to get shot of mine - even though I love it!
Them Sleb chefs love their watches, never seen one without a decent timepiece.
I imagine the more famous ones would get the odd freebie due to the close ups of their hands when cooking
When I was thinking of getting a Rolex Submariner, I saw Jack Bauer wearing one in the first series of 24 and that made up my mind
No but shortly after buying my 2254 I saw on tv, the get away driver in an Audi ad wearing one.
Watching The Apprentice last year, one of the more obnoxious contestants was wearing an Omega orange PO that actually put me off wearing mine for a while!
I was watching the film 'One of Our Aircraft Is Missing' the other day, and while timing the bombing runs they kept showing one of these... Now I wouldn't mind one for my bombing runs into the office!
Anyone know what the massive square shaped article that Heston Blumenthal has been seen sporting regularly is?
posted this the other day, but heres a pic of James Cracknell wearing a speedy 125 on sunday brunch
I've wanted one for a long time, but i thought it nice to see a 'celeb' wearing a fairly obscure non-endorsement watch
This watch is one of watches from my dreams!I was watching the film 'One of Our Aircraft Is Missing' the other day, and while timing the bombing runs they kept showing one of these... Now I wouldn't mind one for my bombing runs into the office!
I was at the cinema a few years ago and saw one of those funny orange ads where they remind you to switch off your phone.

Rob Lowe was in it and I liked the watch he was wearing, which after investigation when I got home, turned out to be a Panerai and why I own two of them today.

Walter White from Breaking Bad, Casio CA53W all the way....
And yes, i do have one ;)
Jason statham in "the bank job" tag Monaco, re enforced by the pictures of Steve McQueen wearing the same. I had to have one.
Other than that I'd like to own each an every watch in the bond films. I really do need to get out more!
Thanks for sharing. I have that watch and love it, nice to see it on YouTube.

Saw both of those and both guys were not attractive advocates, like Andi Peters, but I think the watches still shone through and for me thats the real test, not how it looks on a star.
More than often I get put off them when I see them on tv.
Tomorrow never dies made me buy a SMP bond and Bear Grylls made me buy a Bremont SM500!
Tag Heuer Monaco Watch In Breaking Bad

Every watch a story.
Can't say I have - the main culprits for making me buy watches are the members of this forum! Somehow I now have a Breitling, which I wouldn't have projected when I joined in March (after lurking for some time) .... so, unfortunately can't blame the telly ....
Ah, that will be an Ebel Tarawa!
Agreed. We stumbled across John Frankenheimer and the whole crew filming some car chase scenes for Ronin on the Bir-Hakim bridge in paris many years ago. The forward facing mobile cameras tracking the action were mounted on Porsches with the bonnet removed! What was filmed seemed to be true to the way it looked on screen- i.e. they didn't speed it up afterwards.
Seeing Liam Neeson wearing the DSSD in Unknown sadly made me go out and purchase a Deepsea! I'm not easily persuaded, honestly! Found it a little too bulky so now more than happy with my 14060m & 16710 instead!
Marty mcFly's watch! (I've got one too...)
Walter White from Breaking Bad, Casio CA53W all the way....
And yes, i do have one ;)
Similarly i saw Jonathan Ross wearing a blue Monaco and i didnt wear it for about a month!
