In "Ted," which depicts the friendship between a talking teddy bear and a middle-aged man, he plays a sloppy, unmotivated businessman, then in "Pain and Gain," where he plays a bodybuilding trainer, he shows off his well-trained physique, then in "The Gambler," he loses more than 20kg to play an addict, then in the "Transformers" series, he gets muscular again to take on the intense action scenes. We will be focusing on the arms of Mark Wahlberg , the actor who is known as a "body transformation expert" and who can freely manipulate his physique.
The Italian Mission
THE ITALIAN JOB (2003)
The film is set in Venice, Italy. A gang of thieves, whose prey - gold bars - are stolen, race through the city and underground in a nimble compact car to get the bars back. This is a masterpiece of a snappy car chase film. It is a remake of the 1969 film of the same title starring Michael Caine .
Also appearing in the film are Charlize Theron (as the safecracker) and Jason Statham (as the womanizer) when they were just starting to become popular, making it a surprising all-star cast film when watched today, so it's a recommended film that you can enjoy at a good price.

Mark Wahlberg, who plays Charlie, the leader of the gang, wears a CASIO G-SHOCK DW6600 . This is the first G-SHOCK model equipped with an EL backlight, released in 1994. It is famous as a real military watch with excellent operability and visibility, and is highly trusted by soldiers and soldiers around the world.

According to an acquaintance of mine who is a G-SHOCK fan, once you get used to it, you can operate this watch without looking at it , so it seems convincing that Wahlberg, who plays the driver, would wear it in a car chase where even a moment of distraction can be fatal.
pain and gain
PAIN & GAIN (2013)
Wahlberg plays Daniel, a gym trainer who dreams of becoming "big" but has no luck. After attending a self-help seminar, Daniel gets excited and comes up with the idea of kidnapping his personal trainer, a wealthy man, to get his hands on a lot of money and become "big". This is a comedy film based on a real kidnapping incident, directed by Michael Bay of "Armageddon" . In order to play a bodybuilder, Wahlberg apparently gained 20kg in just seven weeks and built a muscular body.

The watch that Wahlberg wears in this movie is a Rolex Day-Date (Ref. 118348) that he bought with the huge amount of money he got from kidnapping a rich man. It is a luxurious model with a white shell dial and diamonds. It seems that the items purchased by people who say "That person seems to have suddenly become wealthy..." can be from both the East and the West. However, after this, the rich man whom he failed to kill hires a private detective to track down Daniel. It's a case of "ill-gotten gains never end."

Transformers: The Last Knight
TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT (2017)
The "Transformers" film series is a science fiction action film based on the transforming robot toys "Transformers" developed by Japan's Takara Tomy and America's Hasbro. The cast from the first three films was completely replaced, and Wahlberg took on the lead role as inventor Cade Yeager in the fourth film, "Transformers: Age of Extinction."
Although he is a bit clumsy, he also shows off his physical abilities by repairing the Autobots, the righteous transformers, with his technical skills, and by using their equipment to join the battle. By the way, after filming this movie, he lost 27 kg in six weeks to play a gambling addict in another work. He became a demon of physical transformation.

In the fifth film in the series , Transformers: The Last Knight , Wahlberg wears a Breitling Cockpit B50 DLC (Ref. ) . It is an ana-digi chronograph with a black titanium case and Breitling's in-house developed and manufactured quartz caliber "B50."

When I look at this watch, am I the only one who is reminded of the SR-71 reconnaissance aircraft , commonly known as the “Blackbird,” which was retired in 1998, due to the combination of the all-black titanium case and Breitling’s wing logo?
The SR-71 reconnaissance aircraft "Blackbird" appeared in the second film of the series, "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," as the legendary old transformer "Jetfire," who was born as an evil transformer "Decepticon" but turned to the Autobots out of hatred for inhumanity. It stole the best part of the story. I can't help but feel that this image is projected onto this watch.

Off-shot
Mark Wahlberg is known as one of Hollywood's leading watch collectors , and is famous for owning many stunning models from top brands. Here are just a few of them.

First up is the Patek Philippe Grand Complication Minute Repeater (Ref. 5207G-001) . This is a new Grand Complication model for 2019 that contains the three major complicated mechanisms of a tourbillon, a minute repeater, and a perpetual calendar. It doesn't seem like a watch you'd wear with sunglasses and a peace sign, but that's the case for Wahlberg, who is said to earn more than 5 billion yen a year. His sense of things is completely different from ours.

The Patek Philippe Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph (Ref. 5990/1400G) is a jewelry model that is covered with diamonds from the bezel to the bracelet. Wahlberg wears it casually as if he were going to a convenience store, but I am very worried about whether he will be kidnapped or attacked.

Next up is Rolex. The Day-Date 40 (Ref. 22896TEM) has a fully paved diamond dial with emeralds set on the 6-9 index and bezel. The Day-Date is a prestige model that is popular among older people, but the green makes it look younger. This is a discovery that you would only find in a rare model like this.

Lastly, we have the Rolex Daytona (Ref. 116576TBR) . This gorgeous platinum Daytona watch features a pavé diamond dial and baguette diamonds set in the bezel. The ice blue color that Rolex fans long for is used only on the sub-dials, creating a very thoughtful design.
summary
What did you think?
To be honest, when you see the watches lined up in the final off-shot, most people probably forget about the watches they wore in the movie (laughs).
The sight of someone casually wearing a watch worth tens of millions of yen , as if they were just going out for a quick shopping trip, is an eternal dream for any watch lover. I personally like the sight of someone using a luxury watch for its intended purpose of being a tool for measuring time , without worrying about scratches or dirt, but as a watchmaker, I am faced with the dilemma of wanting to display the watches in the store in as good a condition as possible.
The watches that appeared were so amazing that they no longer had anything to do with the theme of "body transformation," but hey, that's how it goes (excuses). Please look forward to the next episode!
see you!
