Right in the middle of an action-packed scene in an abundantly graphic and fast movie you focus in on just one item on the big screen: a watch. From that close-up moment on, the movie has a new meaning and you find a new drive to go through every scene and every detail: more images of the watch in question.
Ok. It might be just me? Or not? Anyway – with Summer come a handful of jampacked action movies and although I do not favor the type, Natural Disasters (or Alien Invasions) are among those year after year! The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) headlines San Andreas directed by Brad Peyton. I won’t spoil the action plot – but I will say this much: San Andreas’ Dwayne The Rock Johnson is wearing a Panerai Luminor 1950 Submersible Watch!
Got your attention already?
If you haven’t seen San Andreas, I can wholeheartedly recommend it for action flicks fans out there. It’s a surprisingly entertaining movie that’s grossing three times more than its budget! Also: please ignore the all-round selfish plot. It all revolves around The Rock’s Ray character. As it should, right? (wink)

Now back to the watch: The Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Automatic Titanio Watch (cool name, huh? Almost $1,000 a word for this appx $9,000 timepiece)! The Automatic brushed titanium with black rubber strap comes with a 72 hours of power reserve and a special P.9000 calibre movement.

It’s clearly not your average timepiece for LA Firefighters and although it looks classy, it doesn’t turn helicopter pilots into ‘Rocks’ (and doesn’t allow their birds to ‘Hover’ either!). But it does help Johnson complete his bad-a## presentation! Add to that the

Ray Ban Custom Aviator Sunglasses as worn by Dwayne the Rock Johnson and you have a very atypical Search and Rescue officer – in various scenes from San Andreas, The Rock changes at least 2 pairs of custom-made Aviator sunglasses! Amping up the classic pilot look with un-graved Aviator Ray Bans? I’m certain Wendy Chuck, San Andreas’ Costume Designer didn’t have much input on the shades and the watch…

I would definitely add more notes to this story, but that would inevitably turn it into a spoiler and I’m that old-fashioned kind of movie-goer, the one that strongly dislikes and stubbornly avoids all trailers, pre-reviews and teasers!

Niffy watch but then I am a sucker for a nice watch.
Does anyone know the maker of the cuff bracelet worn by “Emma” in the movie San Andreas?
Thanks
