In wich movies plays the Rolex a prominent role?

I think the YG DD from Tony Soprano in the Sopranos episodes.
Which movies more, preferably with photo.

I absolutely loved the Sopranos, Corrado 'uncle junior' and Tony's wife, Carmela, both sported two-tone datejusts throughout the series... 'Pussy Bonpensiero' also had a wood-dial bark YG Day Date I believe in the early episodes

I don't think price is the determining factor when choosing a watch. Its certainly not in the case of Rolex v. Omega.

The Ocean's movies were all full of Rolex models. In Ocean's 13, Brad Pitt's character wore a GMTIIc and the head of security had on a polar EXPII which had a few close-up shots.

WJGESQ my opinion is purely that, I admire Omegas especially the Moon watch but being a. English b.Ex Royal Navy c. A Rolex snob - think Bond should only wear a Submariner!

I'll raise my glass to any decent, swiss made time piece......but not on 007...:
