A couple more that I remember:

Cannonball Run II, JJ uses a YG Day Date.

Lord of War, Yuri Orlov uses a WG Day Date.

Barbarians At The Gate, in many scenes RJR Nabisco's CEO uses a YG Day Date, there is one scene which he speeks with RJR Nabisco's President on the phone, who also uses a YG Day Date, so there are about three sequential cuts in which you see YG Day Dates.

I just watched The Blind Side this weekend. Nice warm & fuzzy movie. Sandra Bullock's best movie IMHO...

Sandra Bullock wears a large white banded watch throughout most of the movie, but near the end of the movie, she sports a YG women's President Rolex watch.

Here's a weird one. Older terrible movie called "Bait" starring Jamie Fox. He plays an idiot that just got out of prison without a penny to his name.

Right in the middle he needs to check the time so they show a Yachtmaster Platty on the screen for a full 5 seconds, full screen shot.

I have no idea why they do this because the guy is a penniless fool. From what I could see the watch was not an obvious fake so I have no idea why they put that in the movie.

James Bond and Rolex
I'm not sure whether Ian Fleming specified 007's watch as a Rolex in the James Bond Novels. When the films were produced, Sean Connery was first to introduce the Rolex Submariner to the big screen in Dr No. Roger Moore carried the mantle in to the mid-70's but allegiances and product placement pressures forced a change of allegiance to Omega when Pierce Brosnan took on the role in the 90's. In Dr. No, Sean Connery is seen wearing a Rolex Submariner, Rolex Reference No. 6538 or 5508 which is now known amongst collectors as the James Bond Submariner.

Listed below are the Rolex watches seen in the James Bond films.

Dr. No (1962) - A Rolex Submariner

From Russia With Love (1963) - A Rolex Submariner.

Goldfinger (1964) - Rolex Submariner Model ref. 5508 (note the lack of crown guards compared to today's watch) seen right complete with a rather ill fitting two tone NATO strap. Honor Blackman (Pussy Galore) wears a Rolex GMT when piloting Goldfinger's jet.

Thunderball (1965) - Rolex Submariner.

O.H.M.S.S. (1969) - Rolex Submariner with steel bracelet. George Lazenby takes off his Submariner, places it on top of a photo-copier and then peruses a Playboy magazine. A Rolex chronograph with a silvered dial and a stainless steel Oyster bracelet is also worn by Lazenby in the film.

Live And Let Die (1973) - Roger Moore's Rolex Submariner Model 5513, takes a starring role in the film when the serrated bezel turns into a fast spinning buzz saw and a built in super magnet provides a useful tool for unfastening the zip on Jane Seymour's dress.

The Man With The Golden Gun (1974) - Rolex Submariner seen very clearly when Roger Moore smokes his cigar. A Rolex Cellini King Midas also features.

Not at all.
