"Ulee's Gold Rolex"


As for something you might actually consider buying, there's Fonda's 18-karat-gold Rolex GMT Master, which starred in Easy Rider's precredit scenes. Expected to fetch around $10,000, it's said to be in decent shape: "You remember the poster boy for the counterculture, throwing away his watch at the beginning of the film as a symbolic revolt against materialism?" asks Doug Norwine, who set up the Fonda auction. "He didn't throw the Rolex. He threw a cheap Timex instead."-STYLE
