I've seen Arnold pictured wearing many different watches...I think he's quite a watch enthusiast. He's always been a personal "hero" of mine...given that he likes watches, I smile sometimes when I think maybe he's read one of my articles in IW Magazine. ;D What exactly was the short movie you saw and where Mike? I know Arnold wore a Panny in one of his movies...name escapes me but it's the one about the rail guns... I think he's more well known for his love an association with Audemars Piquet. John |

It was really more like Sylvester Stallone put Panerai on the map. He's been wearing them since before they went 'mainstream' and even before they were openly available to the public, he commissioned a special version for himself and his friends. It's called the Slytech and only about 150 were made.
The Slytech fetch a premium on resale, but in my opinion you can't beat the historial line and the radiomir line.
They also produce special editions most years with limited production runs. Like 50-100 of a model. They're priced accordingly (like $60,000US) but hey, you know you'll likely never bump into someone at a party with the same watch on their wrist. ;D
BTW, did I mention that I LOVE Panerai?

Yep, it was Stallone who discovered Panerai first. In fact, I read somewhere that he loves the design so much he bought a bunch of them when he first saw them. Arnold wore his in the movie "Eraser" and it was a gift from Stallone, read that from a magazine  That's the next watch I'll get...if I can get approval from my CFO....  |
