I was watching The Tonight Show w/ Jay Leno and on his left wrist, I think he had the Bentley Mulliner Tourbillon. It was Rose gold, with the brown croc strap. I mean not that it's a surprise, I mean the man makes 13 million a year. Not to mention income from keynote speeches.

Guy's,

It's not a ling, I've managed to catch a few close ups and it's very large but the crown is on the other side and the pushers are rectangular.

I was almost sure its a Patek 5004 split seconds chrono. It was a round case and pretty thick. Looked more like yellow gold than rose, but the 5004 comes in both colors.

Guy's,

This is funny because I watch Jay almost every night during the week and I have been trying to figure out what he's wearing for a long time. When he does the "Jay Walking" comedy segments it's easier to see the watch and sometimes it looks like he has 4 sub dials so I thought maybe it was a Mulliner Bentley but it's not because the pushers are rectangular and it looks like the crown is on the other side like a Chronomatic. The other night there were some pretty close up shots at his desk but they only last a split second so it was hard to see much but the watch is very thick and it is not a LING that's for sure. It's looks like a great watch but I can't figure out what it is. I looked at the Kobold models after Admin's post above and they don't look like what Jay is wearing because the pushers are round and Jay's are rectangular.

But which of their models have a crown on the other side? Or are they one of the manufacturers where you can special order 'left handed models' (I guess Jay can get anything he wants!!)

Maurice Lacroix perhaps:

No left crown, but one of the pushers is on the left..

The Globe series has right and left crowns :D but not square pushers. I seem to remember reading that he wears ML sometimes:

Admin,

You have to figure this out it's your job. Look for some more models with rectangular pushers. Also, Jay's watch is very large, probably at least 46 MM

Admin,

It may be a Zenith 'Class" line watch depending on how big those are. Jay's watch is very large at least 45 MM. I looked at some of the Zenith Class line and they have rectangular pushers. Jay's has subdials too. Do whatever yo have to do but GET THE SPEED BRACELET ! forget the cost, this matter is SERIOUS !

Speed bracelet is on the way - I got a good deal on one. :roll:

It could possibly be a Zenith Grande Class then, but they don't have 4 subdials i don't think.
