Actor Brian Kelly from the 1960s Family TV Show Flipper wearing his Trademark Stainless Rolex Submariner
Porter Ricks from Flipper
Actor Brian Kelly played the father Porter Ricks and Chief Warden at Coral Key Park and Marine Preserve in the family oriented action-adventure television program Flipper.
You can see him sporting his Stainless Steel Rolex Submariner in the first three shots. Brian Kelly was the son of former Governor of Michigan, Harry Kelly. Brian was definitely a stud as you can see.
When I was a kid I loved this Show!!! Now that I think about it the first time I ever saw a Stainless Steel Rolex Submariner was probably on this show.
After Brian Kelly retired from acting he went on to become a movie producer and was an executive producer of Blade Runner in 1982.

Rolex of the Day: Stainless and Platinum Yachtmaster
The glorious Stainless and Platinum Rolex Yachtmaster with the etched Platinum Bezel and matching Platinum dial. In my opinion the Rolex Yachtmaster has the best lines of any Rolex. Essentially the Yachtmaster is a curvy streamlined Submariner.
Peter Sellers Rolex GMT Master from Casino Royal
In the James Bond epic surrealistic satire from 1967, Peter Sellers comedian wears a stainless steel Rolex GMT Master.
Of course you have to wonder if Rolex go the idea for the graphics on the Jaws advertisement below from this image where Peter Sellers is viewing the stunningly gorgeous Ursula Andres on his stainless GMT Master. Of course Ursula Andres starred in the Original James Bond Move staring Sean Connery as bond in 1962.

Gorgeous Woman Wearing a Gorgeous GMT Master...
Creating a blog dedicated to writing about Rolex Watches is really fun. I always thought it would be a great idea to create a wristwatch blog, especially one dedicated to blogging about Rolex watches. That is why I decided to create Jake's Rolex Watch Blog, but I must admit it is really fun to see beautiful women wearing Rolex Watches.
Benicio Del Toro Rolex Submariner on Black Leather Band...
Talented Movie Star Benicio Del Toro wears the same model Rolex Submariner that Roger Moore wore as James Bond except Benicio wears his on a black leather band.
The 7UP Submariner...
In 2004 Rolex introduced the 50th Anniversary Edition Submariner (Model Number: 16610 LV) . LV stands for "Lunette Verde." This is one of my favorite Rolex watches. It is different than the standard Rolex Submariner in three ways:
- It has a metallic green bezel
- It has Maxi Marker Indices
- It has a fatter or wider minute hand
The LV sub has many nicknames which include the Kermit, the 7Up Sub and the Starbucks Sub. We will be spending a lot of time studying this beauty. I absolutely LOVE this photo of the 7UP Sub. I think it flawlessly captures the essence of the watch:
