I already own a good watch (Bell&Ross), but if you're looking for yours, this is a real contender. Especially for you collectors. But first you need to buy yourself a ski-mask, because you will have to rob a bank for this one.
This is the vintage Rolex Explorer II, Also known as the Steve McQueen Rolex. I did some research on the matter and It is not really known why it is named after the actor as he never wore one in his movies. In all the movies he appeared in, he wore a Rolex Submariner with date, as for example in the movie: The Hunter released in 1980. It is believed that Steve wore this Rolex Explorer II off set in his spare time and that it's called the Steve McQueen Rolex because of that.
I came across this watch because someone I know wears one. He told me that he bought it for his son to wear when he is old enough, but we all know that this is a made up story to justify the amount of money that he spent to get this collectors item.
Very very cool watch!
