Steve, Paul, and Robert

This may be one of the hottest Movie " Affiche ", gathering 3 of the most exceptional Actors of their generation:

Paul Newman:



Steve Mac Queen, with Paul Newman:



Robert Redford:



Why a post a bout these 3 Movie Stars on an Horological Forum?

1/ Simply because they all share something in common, a watch from the same brand: A Rolex.

While Robert wore a 1675 in " All President's men ", Paul is well known to wear a Daytona, and Steve a ...Sub 5512.



It seems that the fact that Mac Queen was wearing or owning a 1655 Explo II is just an Urban Legend, as nobody saw him wearing such a watch...

But Legends are sometimes nicer than Reality, don't you think?

2/ A Pretext:

A good pretext to take some pics, while gathering between friends, of some of our beloved watches.

The Paul Newman Daytona ( Credit pic: Antiquorum )



The Robert Redford 1675 ( in reality, these pics show a 16750 )







And the so called Steve Mac Queen 1655:





Now, the 3 watches in situation, all together...





From right to left: Robert ( Patrice ), Paul ( Jeff ), and Steve ( me ):



The Explo II Freccione, whose patina matches with the French Liquor called Pastis.





I will come back to the 1655 as this is a watch which deserve an in depth post, indeed, but couldn't resist to share with you these pics, and these moments shared with friends.

Hope you'll enjoy,

Best.
