    That’s a huge nitpick! I always wondered if that was an assumption since they are identical and the 175 for the US market with the slightly different small rehaut wording (and case back?) are made on the same line as the K and very rare. I mean technically it could be called an SKX 009U. The K and J are more different then the k and 175.

    Statistically more 009k are sold in the US then 175’s so maybe someone just assumed it was a 175?

    To me, a watch figuring prominently means it’s integral to the story. My favorite is the Rouchefoucauld from “Trading Spaces”:

    Pawnbroker: Burnt my fingers, man.
    Louis: I beg your pardon?
    Pawnbroker: Man, that watch is so hot, it's smokin'.
    Louis: Hot? Do you mean to imply stolen?
    Pawnbroker: I'll give you 50 bucks for it.
    Louis: Fifty bucks? No, no, no. This is a Rouchefoucauld. The thinnest water-resistant watch in the world. Singularly unique, sculptured in design, hand-crafted in Switzerland, and water resistant to three atmospheres. This is the sports watch of the '80s. Six thousand, nine hundred and fifty five dollars retail!
    Pawnbroker: You got a receipt?
    Louis: Look, it tells time simultaneously in Monte Carlo, Beverly Hills, London, Paris, Rome, and Gstaad.
    Pawnbroker: In Philadelphia, it's worth 50 bucks.
    Louis Winthorpe III: Just give me the money. [looking in display case] How much for the gun?

    Alain de Cadenet is always flashing his Speedmaster. Google “images” of him for several classic shots. Here’s his watch story: https://www.revolution.watch/the-man-and-his-watch/

    I didn’t see any reference to Dial M for Murder. Ray Milland looks at his no name watch several times before going to call his wife

    Tock the Watchdog!

    “You see," he continued, beginning to feel better, "once there was no time at all, and people found it very inconvenient. They never knew wether they were eating lunch or dinner, and they were always missing trains. So time was invented to help them keep track of the day and get to places where they should. When they began to count all the time that was available, what with 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour and 24 hours in a day and 365 days in a year, it seemed as if there was much more than could ever be used. 'If there's so much of it, it couldn't be very valuable,' was the general opinion, and it soon fell into dispute. People wasted it and even gave it away. Then we were giving the job of seeing that no one wasted time again," he said, sitting up proudly. "It's hard work but a noble calling. For you see"- and now he was standing on the seat, one foot on the windshield, shouting with his ams outstretched- "it is our most valuable possession, more precious than diamonds. It marches on, it and tide wait for no man, and-"
    At that point in the speech the car hit a bump in the road and the watchdog collapsed in a heap on the front seat with his alarm ringing furiously.”
    ― Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth
