Rolex in cinema
So many have appeared in movies, do you have a favorite appearance of a Rolex in a film? The Deep (1977) is a great one for a Submariner, and Flight of the Intruder (1991) has many great watches, not all Rolex. But my all time favorite has to be in Glengarry Glen Ross (1992) with the Day-Date. Do any scenes or movies stick out to you when thinking Rolex?

In the Line of Fire Eastwood wears what I believe is a GMT. Lost in Translation Murray wears a date just.

Not a film but Tony from the sopranos day date always stood out massively to me.I couldn’t dream of affording one then. Prob my favourite series next to the wire.

It’s almost a cliche now, but for me, it’s the Submariner in the early Bond films.

Tony in The Sopranos for me as well.
Also, when Nicholas Cage pawns his Rolex Daytona in Leaving Las Vegas. "$500 for a 1993 Rolex Daytona...I'll do it."

I also appreciated Nicholas Cage in Lord of War. He wore a WG President in that movie

James Spader in The Blacklist. 16710 on jubilee.

My first thought was James Bond and the second Tony Soprano. Both mentioned before.

Not necessarily a favorite appearance, but I did notice Sharon Stone's Submariner Date in the film Sphere (1998).

She was ahead of her time.

Not to point you away from this forum, but https://www.rolexmagazine.com/ has a great archive on Rolexes worn by actors across screen, stage, and much more. I learned about this forum from that one.

Stone wearing the sub in sphere was awesome, I think Cameron Diaz wears a sub also in Knight and Day?, also like Nic Cage in national treasure when he asks to borrow a 100 dollar bill and hands the cashier his sub. So many good move references. Also, one of the detectives in Dexter wears a gold GMT.

One of many favourites: Bond looks at his Submariner in Dr. No . I just like the way he looks almost quizzically at it, and then we get a nice close-up:

Not "cinema" but Magnum PI (original of course) was my favorite show as a kid and his GMT Master Pepsi had always made me want one of this era. Magnum gets his Dad's GMT after he dies in the military. The watch is shown frequently in episodes and it was one of the few things Selleck kept at the end of the show's run.
