And lets be honest now, this movie isnt that Rado replica watchesgreat either, except for the nice scenery.Anyway, well informed sources over at Das Rolex Forum said that the dial has been replaced at some point during the watchs lifetime. The watch is obviously polished a few times as well. However, that doesnt count, when someone (which I think should be Antiquorums role) can prove that Steve McQueen actually did wear this particular watch.Other timepieces in this auction are a gold Cartier Pasha with quartz movement, given to Sammy Davis Jr. by his friend Frank Sinatra, also in 1980.?Ǭ† Estimated price is between 10.000 USD and 20.000 USD. It seems to me that the experts over at Rado replica watches Antiquorum have an easy job, or are just lazy. Then there are these Gruen and Movado watches. The Gruen was a gift from Frank Sinatra to a friend of his, Al Silvani. Frank seemed to enjoy giving away timepieces. The Movado was a gift to President Roosevelt, by his son-in-law, for his 63rd birthday in 1945. This watch is estimated at 50.000 USD to 60.000 USD.Want to see the other object for sale?
On the 11th of June, Antiquorum is auctioning Timepieces from Twentieth Century Icons. This auction includes some stuff that belonged to Steve McQueen. Besides the actual watch that Steve McQueen wore in the Le Mans movie, the Heuer Monaco (ref.1133), Antiquorum is also auctioning his Von Dutch motorcycle (what has this to do with timepieces you may ask? I dont know. It has to do with money probably.) and a Rolex Rado replica watches Submariner 5512 that was given to Jimmy Brucker, early 1980. I dont know if it is the actual watch that has been spotted on the wrist of Steve McQueen several times, or that it is just a similar model. Chad McQueen, Steves son, has been spotted wearing a similar Submariner as well. Who knows.Antiquorum estimates that the Heuer Monaco between 10.000 USD and 20.000 USD. Same goes for the Rolex Submariner 5512. I think both estimates are a bit Rado replica watches low to be honest, especially when it is proven that Steve McQueen actually wore this Submariner in his private life as well. The Heuer Monaco was given away after the movie, as soon as he hit the way back home. So far for Steves loyalty to the Heuer Monaco. Whos to blame? Certainly not Steve McQueen, but this is once again showing the sad marketing by TAG Heuer of milking out the use of their watch in a movie.
