Although Steve McQueen endorsed the Heuer Monaco during the movie Le Mans, he didn’t pick it himself. Instead, he could be seen wearing his Rolex Submariner most of the time. A Submariner 5512 and according to this article on The Rake, a 5513 as well. Steve McQueen’s Rolex Submariner 5512 was auctioned in 2009 for $234,000 USD. Although McQueen has been spotted with other watches as well (but never an Explorer II reference 1655 for that matter), he is most associated with the Rolex Submariner. More replica Rolex Submariner.
The issue with Rolex is, there are so many, so it is bound to happen that someone cool is wearing one of their watches, without being a watch ambassador officially. What about Paul Newman and the Daytona, some references are even named after him. But let’s not forget about ‘Magnum PI’ (Tom Selleck) and his Rolex GMT-Master, or Ian Fleming and his Explorer. This list would be quite long to be honest, but please feel free to surprise us with suggestions in the comments below.
