Was watching the 80's classic "Real Genius" and noticed an oyster bracelet on Kent, the antagonist in the movie.
Waited to see what he was wearing, and damn, a black dialed Daytona 6265.
He wasn't even a star.

Maybe we should start calling the 6265, the "Kent Prescott Daytona".

Cool! Great catch!!

Whoa, love that movie! Haven't seen it in many moons, though. Very cool there's a Daytona sighting in it!

You have to remember, in the early 80s, sport Rolexes were only worth a few hundred bucks!

May have been his own watch as well.

I assume it was.
He was the only main character, I saw wearing a watch throughout the movie.

Watched that movie a few weeks ago and noticed he was wearing a nice Rolex. I would agree it was probably his own watch and not a movie prop!

Hopefully, he still has it!

That's so funny, I caught the movie this weekend as well...hadn't seen it in many years, well before I was into watches, but it didn't slip by me this time.

Bumping this thread 5 year old thread...sorry....

I have watched and loved this movie since I was kid....haven’t watched it in a couple years and today was the first time that I noticed Kent wearing a watch with an oyster bracelet (which you can spot from a mile away) and what I thought was a daytona....sure enough quick google search and here we are.

The "Kent Prescott - Not Steve McQueen, Not Paul Newman, Nor James Bond - Daytona"

Thanks for bumping this. Love this movie! He plays such a good dick alongside the ultimate 80s movie dick William Atherton. A milgauss would have been more appropriate though.

Atherton is def at the top, but I’d put William Zabka right up there with him.
