Notable Owners - cont

"*Steve McQueen wore a Rolex Explorer II 2 Reference 1655, is also now so-called Rolex in the horology collectors world. But Steve McQueen also owned a Rolex Submariner Reference 5512 he was often photographed wearing in private moments sold for $234,000 at auction on June 11, 2009, a world-record price for the reference."

This doesn't make a hell of a lot of sense. Is the reference so-called, or is it a so-called Rolex? And what's the horology collectors[sic] world? Please clarify this sentence so it makes sense to someone unfamiliar with the subject.

Also, this reminds me of the previous debate about this section being just fluff, an opinion I agree with. It doesn't really make sense from an encyclopaedic point of view. BearAllen (talk) 13:41, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of the Grand Slam of Eventing ?
