Smokey and the Bandit

Husband and I are watching Smokey and the Bandit; I called Smokie, aka Jackie Gleason wearing a gold day/date. Now here’s the question, I kind of feel like The Bandit is wearing the Tuxedo but on a different bracelet. Husband feels like it’s a vintage Timex and I’m calling it a Rolex.
Does anyone know the answer?

I am thinking not a rolex, but I see it has the tuxedo look for sure.

This movie was before my time but it's one of my favorites along with the Police Academy series.

Great movie.

Gleason's best line was to his son Junior:

"I've said it before and I'll say it again, there ain't no way you came from my loins. When I get home I'm gonna punch your momma in the mouth."

“If they'd have cremated the sumbitch, I'd be bangin' Mr Bandit's ass 'round the moon by now.”

“Uh, give me a Diablo samich, a Dr Pepper, and make it fast, I'm in a gxxdamn hurry!”

“You sumbitches couldn’t close an umbrella!”
