All our Geeks watches

My cousin, Anson Chiou, Boston has three passions: movies, the New England Patriots and wristwatches. I saw in the U.S. a few weeks ago for Thanksgiving and we have a long conversation of two of these passions.

When you look at the new film by Ben Affleck "Argo", saw something strange in a second stage. Ben Affleck's character was put on a Rolex in his hotel room. My cousin noticed the closure of the Replica Rolex was too modern for the period of time movie 1979-1980. "Ben Affleck wears a Rolex Submariner replica has been around since the early 50s and has some updates and upgrades over was one of the most important updates of the buckle a few years, it is much more robust looking - .... modern and robust than to oldest, hook thin small. "

My cousin was not the only one who has noticed. Shortly after the premiere of the film, there was a whole forum thread clock chat about this error small film. Curious, I did a search and found some funny comments. A watch enthusiast wrote: "They show a close-up of a scene in the back of the wrist and it is clear the new glide lock closure style, brushed, so it is the most recent DSSD or ceramic sub ... it is definitely not a vintage Rolex model with the duration of the film are awarded "A further comment on this subject was succinct:" ..

View all lovers notice. They will tell you that a Audemars Piguet Arnold Schwarzenegger in "Terminator 3." Wore And did you know Elvis Presley wore an Omega, while Gandhi had a Zenith pocket watch? Fascinated by this subculture clock, I took the expert Genki Sakamoto Antiquorum watch auction house a luxury watch. He said Swiss watch (the best of the best), saw a record year in 2011, an increase of 19 per cent of exports. Asia has been the main engine of growth, with Chinese buyers acquire 49 percent of this growth.

"Fashion and the state are the reasons why collectors are so passionate," says Sakamoto. "Collectors watch love and enjoy the history behind each watch."

E 'often associated with a history of a large clock. Tenzing Norgay was the Rolex Explorer replica when he climbed Everest. The U.S. astronaut Buzz Aldrin wore the Omega Speedmaster replica watches on his mission to the moon. If you ask my cousin, says more geek clock are men. Why am I so passionate? "Watching an art form, in which the boys are in the technology of automatic watch - overcomes all these wheels, gears, levers and springs, you do not need a battery and the clock," he says, "I'm a little 'living machine cool.
