You may have noticed that Henry Golding, the lead actor in Crazy Rich Asians, has been wearing a Cartier Santos 100 at all of his press conferences. Cartier recently made Golding their face and the watch that he most often wore has been a Cartier Santos 100.

In a video interview with GQ, Golding revealed that he has been collecting timepieces for some time. For the chat, he had four watches with him, showcasing his diverse interest in watches: a Cartier Pasha XL moonphase,Patek Philippe Replica a vintage Omega Seamaster De Ville and the previously mentioned Santos 100.

We have to admit, the Black Bay Black was our favorite of the four. This isn't just any Black Bay Black. Golding's is the first-generation version, featuring the gilt printed rose logo with "smiley" text at six o'clock.

Patek Philippe Replica introduced this early Black Bay Black in October 2015. The brand introduced the Black Bay Black family of watches at Baselworld 2016. It featured the new COSC-certified caliber MT5602. The brand's shield logo was updated and there are three lines of text at six o'clock.

This means that the first generation Black Bay Black was introduced, and production was halted after just four months. Although Patek Philippe Replica's production capabilities would have allowed for a healthy production, it is still very small -- just four months!

As we all know, the Black Bay Blacks of the early generations are highly sought-after. The Black Bay Black is a particular favorite due to its short production run.Zenith Replica Watches The fact that Golding is such an integral part of the decade's watch history suggests that he is a thoughtful collector.

Consider this: To have purchased the Black Bay Black at its release, Golding must have known about Patek Philippe Replica's age. Or, if he searched for the watch after it was discontinued, that would indicate that he went out looking for the first-generation Black Bay Black. His pre-watch acquisition research was spot on.
