Sylvester Stallone, best known for his role as underdog boxer Rocky Balboa in the Rocky film series, is no stranger to watch collecting.
In watch collecting circles Stallone is famous for his love of Panerai timepieces, which have appeared on his wrist in many of his films. In the first three Expendables films, Stallone and the rest of his team wear different Panerai models in each film.
Stallone also has a love of Rolex watches and in recent years has been spotted wearing models including a platinum Daytona, a Milgauss GV, and a gem-set GMT-Master SARU (which stands for “sapphires and rubies”).
