    The movie is from 1989, but that's a much older ref 5513. Or at least it's an old (1960s) meters-first dial, with service hands and insert. I wonder about the case serial number and case-back. Since it was worn by the stunt double, they probably just gave him any old watch to wear.

    Stunt double screen worn...

    Guess it counts.

    What’s the final bid? Any guesses?

    How can Hodinkee run that and not pick up on the metres first dial? As noted, the insert is later, hands are a poor match. I'd rather pay a tenth the estimate and buy mine again.

    I’d rather have the stunt-double’s-wife's-granny’s Rolex... because it is just as relevant and article-worthy, but most importantly it may have that insane leopard-skin-hardware...

    in my opinion, this watch has been "over-marketed" by Hodinkee
