Rolex

I recently read a very interesting post on Rene's blog. Rene is a famous vintage breitling collector and dealer. He has recently stumbled across a picture of Jean Claude Killy celebrating his 1968 Olympics win. He started to investigate which watch he was...  

Next, I will learn that Paul Newman actually wore a Panerai and James Bond is in fact, French. Agghhhh

I always assumed it was the Italians that created the connection back in the 70\'s hyping a a steve mcqueen move release. The Rolex connection seemed stretched but was some how tied in. Bill

Or at least many of his girls..... ;)

To reveal the truth now, it would be too cruel ! nino

Famous ?? Now I am at a loss for words ;-) But thank you Jeff for your kind words Here's the type of watch he was wearing in its full glory Rgds Rene ...  

...and for educating us about Killy's taste for beautiful vintage chronographs. Now I'm sure that all the Rolex geeks are looking for JCK wearing a triple date Rolex chrono, which I have never seen to be honest. And welcome to the forum. Cheers Jeff
