Apparently Brando sports one in apocalypse now. Pretty dramatic film, I think I will rewatch.

Yes, great Rolex commercial, but I kept waiting to see what I'd consider the best/coolest Rolex movie moment ever, and it never came:

I frankly was glad they showed the 5513 from The Mechanic. Great scene. Not played out like the Connery flash IMHO.
