An excellent thread.

Che Guevara wore a Rolex. I've heard conflicting reports that it was either a GMT Master or Submariner.

Now that you mention it, I wonder what a certain W.W.II German leader, and Stalin wore.

(Honestly, I think of the Che as he actually was. Not the false romantic image that many visualize.)

The former wore a silver and gold duo-tone pocket watch. The latter? I'm not sure, both in what he actually wore and the quality of it.

Thank you for the reply. It's odd, out of all the pics of Stalin out there; you never see him with a watch.

That's cos the time at any given moment was whatever time Stalin decided that it was - unless you fancied a one-way trip to Siberia

The man was just genuinely odd. I saw a few papers he wrote for school as a child, extolling the vital importance of individual Liberty, Choice, and Freedom in general. Very shocking. Though verified as having been written by a young Stalin. One wonders what could have been....

Okay, back to watches.

Re: Historically famous figures and their watches

There have been criticisms made of zombie thread resurrections.
However I think this thread is a perfect example of why resurrections can be a great thing.
I would never have read this ( and therefore been educated) if it weren't for TempusExMachina.

Yes, some threads simply should not die.
