Stallone Brandishes PVD Panerai Luminor Marina Watch In New Rambo Movie
I am pretty happy that the new Rambo movie was as watch-centric as it was. Through the intensely blood-bathed action fest are numerous shots of watches on the characters' wrists. Sylvester Stallone's John Rambo adorns an interesting Panerai watch. It has been a Hollywood tradition for sometime that popular movie characters have a watch fitting their nature and status. We know of the James Bond Omegas and the Terminator has an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak specially made for Schwarzenegger that is worn proudly. Rambo prefers the popular and stylish vintage looks of Italian Panerai watches.It is a well known fact that "Sly" Stallone is a big Panerai fan. Rumored to own hundreds of the cult-loved watches, Panerai has even made custom models just for Stallone. One such model has Stallone's autograph engraved on the back and the moniker "SLYTECH" on the face. Watch companies are wonderful in that regard; if you have enough leverage and money, they will make any manner of custom model for you.

Rolex Cellini Need Some Help.
I've posted this in the Vintage Forum as well, but really need to get some help with this.In June of 1971 I purchased 2 18K Rolex Cellini watches from what at the time was a highly respected retailer called Bucherer in Geneva, Switzerland. One of the watches had an 18K gold band that was built into the watch by Rolex and the other , which has a chocolate brown face, has a Rolex Crocodile band. I bought an extra Rolex Crocodile band to use at some point as a replacement band, but the original is still in great condition so I have the brand new extra band as well. I am now interested in selling the watch and the extra watch band and in trying to do some research I'm reading things that I don't understand and find somewhat troubling. First, I've read that Rolex introduced the Cellini 1n 1975. If that's true, how did I buy 2 of them in 1971 ? Second, The Rolex clasp on both watch bands indicates that the clasps are stainless steel or sterling silver with gold plating. The clasp is stamped

Got the Apollo 15th today
Another smooth transaction with George (Kringkily). I decided to sell my omega 15000 gauss for this. Loved the 15000 guess but found it heavy after while and didn't feel very comfortable compare to my milgauss GV. So decided to add another speedy to the collection instead.image.jpg

Polar Plaisted Expedition Speedmaster
Has anyone seen this on the 'Bay?.ebay/itm/SCARCE-OMEGA...item20bfd2c64bAccording to seller, they have documentation from Omega that it is one of four Speedmasters given to the expedition crew. Interesting history, but wonder if that history will bring anything close to the buy now price! Will be interesting to see what happens, if sold through the 'Bay.Does anyone have any sales history of other famous Speedmasters, such as those documented to have been worn during space flight?
