Sympa aussi la réédition LiP, je zieutai justement dessus!

De toute façon, messieurs, tout est relatif... surtout en comparaison du prix d'acquisition des montres de grand-pôpa. Plus fort qu'un clou de la sainte croix, LA Monaco en vente aux enchères en juin:

http://www.antiquorum.com/eng/press/2009/209106/juneny09auction.html

Fans of the legendary actor, Steve McQueen and race car enthusiasts will also be very interested in the upcoming June sale as it will include the iconic Heuer “Monaco” wristwatch previously owned by Steve McQueen and worn by him during the filming of the 1971 movie “Le Mans”. Steve presented the watch to his financial advisor upon his return home from filming in appreciation for financially restructuring both himself personally and his company, Solar Productions Inc.

The Monaco watch was originally launched by Heuer in 1969 in honor of the Monaco Grand Prix. The watch is a fine and unusual, square convex, water-resistant, stainless steel self-winding wristwatch with chronograph and date. Antiquorum Experts have placed a pre-sale estimate of $ 10,000 - $ 20,000.



Ou bien sa Submariner?

In addition, Antiquorum experts will also be offering Steve McQueen’s Rolex, Ref. 5512 Submariner produced in 1967. The timepiece is a fine, center seconds, self-winding, water-resistant, stainless steel diver’s wristwatch.


The watch was given by Steve McQueen to his good friend Jimmy Brucker in early 1980, to whom he also subsequently willed his airplane hangar at the Santa Paula Airport where he had stored his airplane, bikes and an extensive memorabilia collection. Most of the other items that had been given to Brucker have been auctioned, so this lot remains one of the few items that Jimmy Brucker received from Steve McQueen and kept. Estimate: $ 10,000 - $ 20,000

Est-ce que l'Élégance ne saurait pas flirter avec la modestie ?

en quoi une Explorer est-elle immodeste...

c'est le modèle le plus petit, le plus passe partout, le moins cher et le plus discret de la gamme Sport.

j'ai *l'impression* que l'évocation du mot Rolex est depuis les années Sarkozy-Séguéla l'ultime tabou, à côté duquel la triple pénétration anale par des percherons hémophiles est une douce promenade de santé...

même si je préfère la référence 1016 (à savoir l'explorer ancienne version avec cadran mat, index peints et verre plexi), les Explorer sont un peu les daily rider des montres haut de gamme: solides, étanches, fiables, bref...rien d'ostentatoire, de tape à l'oeil... my two cents...

et sont surtout moins cher que la plupart des scoots que l'on voit passer ici.. :huummm:

L'histoire de la montre:

After a successful foray into British motorcycle sport, Bud Ekins moved to California and ran a very successful Triumph dealership. He had become something of a hero to Hollywood’s young movie actors, who would often hang out at his shop. One of those actors was Steve McQueen. When McQueen bought an off-road motorcycle, Ekins, then the absolute master of Southern California off-road motorcycle racing, coached him in bike control on the desert washes and fire trails of the area. McQueen, in turn, got Ekins stuntman jobs in the film industry. They quickly became very close friends and their attention turned to racing and collecting cars and bikes.
In 1970, James F. Brucker (an avid car collector) opened the ‘Movie World Cars of the Stars Museum’ in Buena Park, with his son Jimmy. The Bruckers displayed 150 vehicles at Movie World Museum and would regularly rent cars from their collection to Hollywood producers for use in the making of motion pictures. The Bruckers hired Ed ‘Big Daddy’ Roth (a famous custom car builder) as art director for the Museum and subsequently Von Dutch (a famous motorcycle mechanic, pin striper and metal fabricator). Bud Ekins had several motorcycles on loan to Movie World Museum and he would stop by the Museum from time to time to check up on the bikes and see if there were any interesting motorcycles available. In 1975, Ekins introduced Jimmy Brucker to Steve McQueen. Once McQueen discovered Movie World Museum and the car and motorcycle devotees that surrounded it, he started hanging out there on a frequent basis. At the time, Von Dutch was working and living in the back of the Museum and McQueen utilized Von Dutch’s mechanical skills to keep his bikes operating in top condition. Jimmy Brucker and Steve McQueen became good friends during this period and increasingly McQueen would consult Brucker on cars, guns, antiques and other items for his growing collection.
Since both McQueen and Brucker were avid collectors, they would frequently trade collectibles with each other. According to Brucker, Steve McQueen was a man of simple tastes and only collected items that he truly appreciated without regard to its popularity, he was neither a showoff nor speculator. Eventually, McQueen put Jimmy Brucker in charge of his automobile collection. McQueen gave Brucker a Power of Attorney for vehicle titles, so that Brucker could buy and sell cars for his collection without McQueen having to be present for the transfer.
In 1977, McQueen came by Movie World with a heavy beard he had grown for the movie ‘Enemy of the People.’ Brucker gave McQueen a Von Dutch engraved rifle and knives from his collection and McQueen got so excited that he took off his stainless steel Rolex Submariner from his wrist and gave it to Brucker as a gift. Brucker and McQueen took a picture together that day, which was rather rare since McQueen seldom allowed anyone to photograph him in the last years of his life. Several months later, Jimmy Brucker and McQueen chartered a small plane to Idaho in order to view a ranch he was considering buying. On the way McQueen asked for the watch back explaining that it was a gift from someone and that he did not want to offend that person by having given it away. Brucker obliged and returned the watch. The trip aboard the single engine Cessna was also memorable because they hit an ice storm and nearly did not make it. McQueen had a driver pick him up in Idaho and shuttle him back to Los Angeles. Following that incident, McQueen vowed to learn to fly his own airplane. McQueen wore the watch on-screen in the movies ‘The Hunter.’ In 1979, Steve McQueen moved to Santa Paula, California, a sparsely populated farm community a few hours north of Los Angeles. McQueen made good on his promise to learn to fly an airplane and purchased a hangar at the Santa Paula airport. The hangar became a focal point of his life and he spent most of his time living in the hangar. Many of McQueen’s cars and bikes were stored in the hangar together with a growing collection of antiques, signs, posters, furniture, vintage toys and art. The Brucker family owned a large fruit packing warehouse across from McQueen’s Hangar at Santa Paula and most of their collection from Movie World Museum was moved there in 1979, including Von Dutch himself, who lived in the warehouse. Jimmy Brucker spent time with McQueen in Santa Paula and McQueen continued to collect, and stored and displayed his collection at his hangar. In the spring of 1980, McQueen returned to Santa Paula and stopped by Brucker's warehouse and gave Jimmy Brucker back the Rolex Submariner. Brucker did not see him many times after that and it seemed to him that McQueen was trying to come to terms with his illness. Upon his untimely death, McQueen bequeathed his airplane Hangar at the Santa Paula Airport to Jimmy Brucker. Thereafter, Steve McQueen’s attorney, Ken Ziffren, contacted Jimmy Brucker to assist in the liquidation of his estate. In 1984, Brucker oversaw the McQueen Estate auction at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas, which was highlighted by the sale of McQueen’s XK-SS Jaguar for a world record price. In the “Brucker Brothers’ Kustom Kulture Collection” auction in May of 2006, Jimmy Brucker sold a few items that he received from McQueen including the Von Dutch custom engraved locks for the airport hangar, McQueen’s handprints in a cement block and his keys to the Beverly Hills Hotel Suite. The present lot remains one of the last items that Jimmy Brucker received from Steve McQueen.

et Mc Sprint, j'ai reçu ma beauty...

enfin elle est arrivée chez un pote à NY et j'attend une mule... :where:
