While getting in character for his role in Daylight, Sylvester Stallone wanted to work on his characters’ appearance, when he spotted a perfect fake Panerai Luminor in Rome.

He is believed to have thought that the watch had ‘star power’, and was to taken by it that he went on to buy several more of the brand’s models with his signature which he gave as presents to his friends.

One of the recipients of the watch was his pal Arnold Schwarzenegger who donned the timepiece for his role in Escape Plan, as well as being heavily featured in The Expendables.
