Icon3 Obscure Rolex Movie Reference

I was watching this 1969 Japanese movie this this afternoon, and noticed something familiar. Anyone else get it? There's a bonus point if you can name the movie, too

Sorry Adam, you'll have to explain the Rolex connection, to this old git.

If you'd said, "there's nothing like a 19DS/87B" I might have had a clue, to what you were referring.

Happy New Year to you and yours.
Hope H.K will have a quieter, safer 2020 than 2019.

Yep! I wonder how it ended up on the side of a Japanese jack in the box.
