The King of Cool wearing his Rolex Submariner. No, not an Explorer :) ...Steve McQueen never wore the original Explorer II (Ref. 1655). What McQueen ACTUALLY wore was the higher grade (chronometer rated) version of your typical no-date Submariner, a watch called the Reference 5512 Submariner. It sold for 234,000 USD in 2009. Here's a great article on the subject: http://www.hodinkee.com/blog/2010/2/21/the-real-steve-mcqueen-rolex-explained-boxes-papers-included.html
