In 1969/1970 McQueen actually wore a matte-dial reference 5512 paired on a C&I Rolex USA bracelet. Later during Papillon filming he wore a 5513 on set with a European/Swiss bracelet (also in The Hunter), which he maybe bought in Europe, since filming took place partially in Spain?
It proofs that McQueen did own different Rolex Submariners! One,.which he wore in the "The Hunter", was his late Submariner 5513 (same shown in the pic above). An older one, the 5512, was sold in 09 (at a crazy price!). McQueen wore the 5512 in "The Towering Inferno". Regards Smith
