hello old friend...

in 1999 a pretty average movie with a future governor of California doin what he did best on film (ie kickin a$$) came out about the end of days... the title of the movie was uhm... the 'end of days'... while the movie is jus another forgettable actioner with the biblical end of the world thrown in, it did produce something good... the watch on the governators wrist for the movie was a beautiful black pvd timepiece with yellow numerals... ahead of its time for sure as there weren't many pvd'ed or black steel watches back then and the royal oak offshore was seen as a sizable watch at that time too... a decade later, large watches are everywhere and there are many black or 'blackened' watches...

a seminal piece then and for this sports watch lover, a memorable watch from an unmemorable film...
