Steve Mc Queen?
Ich darf Jake Ehrlich von rolexmagazine.com zitieren:

Before we begin, we need to bust a myth about Steve McQueen and Rolex. Many years ago, an Italian auction house started referring to the Rolex Explorer Orange hand [Reference 1655] as the Steve McQueen Explorer. The only challenge is that Steve McQueen never wore any Rolex expect his trademark stainless steel Rolex Submariner [Reference 5512 & perhaps a Reference 5513]. From the research I have completed it appears he owned at least two stainless steel Rolex Submariner models.

The false myth likely was perpetuated since somebody saw a photo of him wearing a Submariner that did not show the face of the watch and they falsely assumed he was wearing a Rolex Explorer II, when in reality he was wearing a Submariner.

To this day–and it frustrates me to no end–people still keep falsely perpetuating the myth of "The Steve McQueen Explorer", and it drives me crazy!?!?!? The bottom line is anybody who still from 2015 uses the term "Steve McQueen Explorer" is a complete idiot!!! Steve McQueen never wore a Rolex Explorer. He only wore a Rolex Submariner...This is a FACT...
