"I’m not into sports watches – I like chronometers.” – Jason Statham

Tough guy actor Jason Stratton has authentic watch taste, does his own stunts (escaping out of lorry crashed in canal etc.), plus was an Olympic diver in real life, he is a proper martial artist and wears a Rolex amongst others. He deserves to get a James Bond like role, in my view.

What do you think of him and his watches?

What does Nico say?

·

Errr sports watches can be chronometers…….

·

Yeah, good point, know what he means though. Wouldn't argue with him about it!

·

Aren't most of his roles uh... action oriented anyway?

·

Yeah, sounds like a lot of action roles not sure if he really hit big bank roll yet? Loved him in "Lock Stock and two smoking barrels", Guy Richie movie.

·

You mean "Chronographs"?

·

Just another reason why I do not listen to celebrities or influencers for that mater. They simply miss the mark almost all the time. This is no exception.

All three watches shown are sports watches! A dive watch, a chronograph and a Daytona; how much sporty can you get?

Nice watches, I think he is talking about classic mechanical watches. OK here is the full quote...“I like a few vintage Rolexes, and Panerais are good. I’m not into sports watches – I like chronometers.” – Jason Statham. (Don't want Mr Statham taken out of context).

To me, he’ll always be The Transporter

·

Can't watch his films, all the violence looks way too choreographed and like a silly dance.

He's as convincing as Bruce Willis 😂

·

I preferred him when he was painted silver and danced in pop videos.

His cameo in Collateral was cool. Remined me of this:

Chronographs does he mean??

·

You people are brutal, loved the Silver dance video (is that really him?), that would be one to keep in the back directory.

·

Mate I'm London born and he ain't got the accent needed for Bond he would have to go through my fair lady training 😂😂😂😂😂

·

Just watched Homefront a while back.

That was entertaining.

Can't remember if he was wearing a watch ir not.

·
·

What do you think of Rocky's choices of watches? (Another thread, but I think he nailed the cliché).

·

Still I still like the cliche watches.

·

Hard to figure what watch he is wearing - obviously not big in to product marketing!

Panerai "Luminator" in Homefront (maybe out take though).

·

I like the one where he moved to a small town and beat the piss out of angry hilljacks. And Kate Bosworth looked like she method acted her way into a drug habit.

Slams greasy dude on the ground and looks like he has him by the trachea.

Can't believe I missed that Panerai.

Daniel Craig was pretty spot on describing his watch collection. He is the exception though.

·

Odd statement considering every single watch is a sports watch.

·

What is a chronometer? Since there seems to be some confusion - "a Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC) Chronometer Certification. COSC is the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute which is responsible for certifying the precision and accuracy of Swiss watches. Generally, COSC testing applies to watches manufactured or assembled in Switzerland. What is a chronometer?

A chronometer is a type of mechanical timepiece that is tested and certified to meet precision standards. In Switzerland, only watches certified by the COSC may use the word chronometer." - (just noticed it).
