The once and future King . . .

. . . of Cool. This week, we're commemorating the man literally everyone admires. There was a genuineness about him that shone thru his film performances; he wasn't an actor so much as he was himself on screen. The same could be said of a few contemporari...

. . . "Art's TV Repair" sign in that clip? :-) And, we had that very same '69 Chevy four-door, in green. :-) :-) The Getaway was panned at the time of its release, but looking back, it was the most authentic film he ever made. My favorite scene was his sh...

. . . that I find practically unique, Nilo - he was deeply admired by men and women alike. Usually, an actor of his stature has a larger following amongst one or the other; Cary Grant, for example. Steve's appeal was both deep and down the middle - everyo...
1964
By: crown comfort : March 19th, 2015-14:23
First things first: 1964 is before my time! When the Wristscan theme of Steve McQueen was announced I did a little research. I’m not a big movie buff, but of course Mr. Cool is well-known. During my research I stumbled across something very interesting, w...

but it's quite small, so would be a wild guess.
Thanks Nicolas

let's just say that the Ad with the bike is close enough and we await the post of our dear GP moderator who will shed the light on all the Olimpico secrets :)

I had a long discussion with Blomman on that... Things are less clear than they seem to be, to make it short. Blomman is fighting on that topic, too. It will be a very interesting topic! All the best, Nicolas
Stunning pair, CC! :)

Clever, Salman, clever!...

What you did there didn't go unnoticed! :-) :-) :-) Cheers, pplater.

TWO is...well, it's just impolite! In fact, it's almost gauche. Don't be 'that guy', Salman: let one go (very cheaply...) to someone who will appreciate it. Ideally, someone far away so you don't 'feel' its nearness. ;-) Cheers, pplater.
Re his personality: I've a story to share . . .
By: Dr No : March 20th, 2015-11:20
. . . that's been told a few times in the past, but worth repeating within the context of this thread. Many moons ago, one of my acquaintances was a motorcycle mechanic who had moved to LA from Buffalo in 1980, the year of Steve's death. His first jobs we...

"King of Cool" - from lack of warmth?
By: anaesdoc : March 20th, 2015-05:22
Dear Art, this question came to my mind mind when reading Steve McQueen´s biography on wikipedia (). Having been given away by and been brought back several times to his mother and diverse stepfathers (he has never been familiar with his father), he never...

By: Dr No : March 20th, 2015-11:43
. . . tragic flaws, anaesdoc. While we're drawn to the nobler aspects of their personalities, discounting their less agreeable traits can give the appearance of uncritical idol worship. As I replied to hs111 moments earlier, though, it's my sense that McQ...
Strap detail
By: anaesdoc : March 20th, 2015-14:38
Well Art, my assumption that Steve McQueen would have preferred the bracelet is due to my wife´s comment about the bracelet whenever I happen to wear it. In her perception the bracelet gives the watch a colder, more technical look whereas the leather stra...
Flawed? Sure!...

Always liked this picture, particularly since he's seen wearing a Hanhart, which also seems to appear in a few other pics already posted. Widely believed to be the 417 Hanhart which was produced post-war in the Ffities or Sixties. The closest I get to thi...

McQueen wasn’t half bad…
By: pplater : March 21st, 2015-02:30
…but arguably the best thing about him was his other half (well, for five years or so, anyway). The guy had ‘an eye for horseflesh’, as they say in Kentucky. And for sheetmetal: That doesn’t include the cars that he drove in movies – and yes, wouldn’t it ...

The OP was a mere frippery: a ll characters to whom reference was made were and are, of course, entirely fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental. Especially SalmanQ8, who is either not Teutonic or is the next th...

. . . although it wasn't the type you'd find on his, or anyone's, wrist. If memory serves correctly, he was slated to appear in Quigley Down Under , but like so many of his film projects after The Towering Inferno , it came to nought. The script was taken...
