If this is the watch, I can tell you all about it. If this is not the
correct watch, it would be very helpful if you could give us some more
details about the watch's appearance.

If you're not certain whether the watch in the photos I posted earlier
is the right one, please take a look at this photo from "How to Lose a
Guy in 10 Days," showing Matthew McConaughey:

Here's a close-up view of the watch on Matthew McConaughey's wrist in

Hi, lorrie.

I am certain that the wristwatch worn by Matthew McConnaughey in "How
to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" is a Tag Heuer Monaco.

Here are links to several sites that sell this handsome watch:

PrestigeTime.com
http://www.prestigetime.com/item.php?item_id=1483

WatchesPlanet.com
http://www.watchesplanet.com/cgi-bin/shop.pl/SID=PUT_SID_HERE/page=h_tag_heuer.htm?Brand=TAGHEUER&Series=Classics+Monaco+Automatic+Chronograph

Jomashop.com

EwatchStore.com
http://ewatchstore.com/monaco.html

SentimentalGift.com
http://sentimentalgift.com/tagheuermoni.html

I recognized the watch as a Monaco from your description, and a still
photo from the movie confirmed it. This watch has appeared in many
movies, starting with Steve McQueen's "Le Mans." (McQueen wore the
version with a blue dial.) Recently the Tag Heuer Monaco has been
featured on the wrists of Mel Gibson in "Signs," Samuel L. Jackson in
"XXX," and Hugh Grant in "About a Boy."

Here's an interesting site that has a lot of information about
wristwatches that have appeared in movies:

I hope this will help you to obtain the watch you want. If anything
I've said is unclear or incomplete, or if any of the links do not
function, please request clarification before rating my answer; I'll
be glad to offer further assistance.

Best wishes,
pinkfreud
