Bogart got from Fangio, then gave to James Dean


YES -- that rarest of all Heuers: worn by Fangio as a young man in the late 1930's / early 1940's, then given to Bogart so that he would have a nice watch in the movie (1942), and from there it went to James Dean (who was wearing it that fateful day, September 30, 1955) . . . and Jeff Stein was born that day (9/30/55), in fact that very hour, and was given the watch to carry forth the image, the karma, the spirit . . . but things went terribly wrong -- Jeff lost the watch and became a lawyer, and with that, the spirit was lost.
