GQ talked to Danny about how the whole process, including how it put a modern Rolex “Pepsi” GMT Master II on Cousin Greg’s wrist this season:
“‘They wanted a Rolex for him,’ Milton told [GQ’s Cam Wolf]. Succession viewers will know that Greg already owned a Rolex Submariner that he wildly overpaid a dealer for after Kendall pressured him to upgrade his wristwear. ‘So I had a sense of his character being into modern Rolex,’ Milton said. ‘My mind immediately just went to Pepsi GMT on a Jubilee bracelet.’ Milton also suggested a ceramic Daytona, but the Succession team knew instantly that the GMT was the one. ‘I remember them saying, ‘That’s the one he wants, please send that one as soon as you possibly can.'” (‘In Hollywood,’ Milton added, ‘it’s all very fluid and everything is last minute. So everything’s like a fire drill.’)”
