SATC, Mr.Big and a Vintage 1968 Rolex Watch
I watched Sex and City 2 last weekend and while I prefer the first movie I still enjoyed the second installation of the series I “grew up” with. It took a step up in the marriage department and I honestly think it tackled a usual stepping stone or stumbling block (whichever you would like to think of it) in a usual, marriage: the loss of sparkles (romance, you can call it). It is every marriage’s usual growing pain.
They also made sure to redeem Mr. Big in the movie – and well, you just have to watch it or else I might end up giving away spoilers.
Carrie Bradshaw-Preston gave her husband a Rolex watch for their anniversary (while she got a huge plasma TV in their bedroom). It was a vintage 1968 Rolex watch engraved with "Me and You, Just Us Two". Rolex watches are on top of the premium luxury watches and is considered a status symbol and a wise investment. Rolex is also the largest single luxury watch brand, producing about 2,000 watches per day, with estimated revenues of around US$3 billion according to Wikipedia!
Chris Noth (Mr.Big) wears the IWC’s Classic Pilot’s Watch Chronograph in one of the scenes too.
