The TV watch watch.

[benjdr]

I am constantly seeing watches on TV and wishing I knew what they were, and where better to come than PH to get some answers.

I'll kick it off with Theo of Dragon's Den, who's sporting this number in the credits:


He also has something tasty looking on his official website:


Help me out 'heads. What's he wearing?

Would be nice if this topic took off with regular contributions/sightings/queries. We'll see where it goes...

Yep, the top one is a Franck Muller Cortez King, and the second is a steel & gold Rolex Daytona (16523, dark chrono rings?).
Incidentally, Theo was a salesman at 'Watches of Switzerland' many moons ago....

Slightly off topic but not much. I'm not sure how many others do this or I may be the only saddo here but I flick through my girlfrinds hello/ok magazine looking to see what watches the guys are wearing

I'm not quite that bad but I do pride myself on being able to identify a decent watch at a thousand paces, so to speak. I do find it quite interesting to see what people are wearing. I noted from Fifth Gear the other day that Plato has a Panerai Luminor - a PAM0164 I think.

[matrignano]

Definitely a gold case Luminor.

Tiff seems to wear a Jaeger Amvox?

[Burba]

this thread is useless without pics!

[Don1]

Simon Cowell likes Chopard?

Tom Cruise wears this Bulgari in the futuristic 'Minority Report'.

Is that a real (one you can buy) or just made for the movie?

[sparkyhx]

food programs are good for watch spotting lost of close ups - TBH they tend to be run of the mill stuff - omega, Tag, Breitling, Rolex

Clarkeson has had a Planet Ocean and Bremont lately,.

Not quite sussed what Hamster has - its square/tank - but beyond that I don't recognise it.

Russell xxx off Last Choir standing program had a hideous Graham watch

A prototype made for the movie, very cool though....

[Paul R]

Thought as much, shame as I really like that!

Practically the first thread in this forum was discussing his yellow dialled chrono: http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/topic.asp?h=0...

(the answer was Breitling Chrono Cockpit)

The Hamster has a JLC Reverso Squadra

[carter711]

Bear Grills (born survivor, n that) has a yellow faced Breitling Emergency.
Tiff Needell has a Navitimer.

Jeremy Clarkson once said 'There is only one thing worse than a fake Rolex, and that's a real one'!

[PooPoo]

Bear Grills used to have the emergency but now wears Bremont. (I believe the company is owned by a couple of his mates!)
