·From Tomorrow Never Dies, one of the crew of the stealth ship clearly wearing an Omega Speedmaster.
If I'm not mistaken Stamper is also wearing one:

·Watched Apollo 13 yesterday and notice the Pepsi GMT on the Mini Air Boss. Looks like maybe the Air Boss is wearing one as well.

·Another Speedy on Ryan Reynolds in the time travel movie Project Adam.
Ryan isnt that fun in this one. Much of the usual Hollywood father-son stuff and lots of robots being killed.

Both Ryans and their dad are all wearing the same 1863.😉

·Watching some Great British Baking show with the family tonight and my youngest pointed out that Paul Hollywood was wearing a watch he (the youngest) recognized!
There are a couple of shots in profile where it is significantly more obvious but this one shows the lack of a date and the 60 where the bezel pip and triangle would normally be

·In all the pictures I’ve scrolled through (apart from having streamed every episode of the original series multiple times) it is at best freaking RARE to even glimpse Perry Mason’s watch. Oh, sure we know his shirts have French cuffs and he favors tastefully masculine cufflinks. But does his watch ever peek out from under those cuffs? Hardly ever.
This is the one pic I’ve been able to find: a still attached to Tubi’s Perry Mason page featuring The Case of the Restless Redhead (Season 1, Episode 1 but this image does not actually appear on that page).
I can’t really see much in the way of details. All I see is a white dial and a pale, silver tone band.
Meanwhile, the AI summary asserts that Perry is sporting a Rolex Datejust. AI summary says it scroped from Chrono 24, and Walmart, of all things.
Realizing that bands are easily swapped out as well as the problematic focus, it still lacks the shadows that would occur with the original bracelet. The watch itself could be a Datejust, given the checkered pattern around the bezel. Does anyone have a strong response to this picture and the identification? Agree or disagree or just not enough information?

·Omegaphiles may already be aware, but the 1975 Sean Connery movie "The Terrorists" is chock full of Speedmaster Mark II closeups.

·An addendum to my previous post. I watched the movie last night and was able to get this pic. There were better closeups but I was too busy actually watching the movie to get all of them.

·Responding to the close-up of Sean Connery's watch in "The Terrorists" -- I could probably be the last to the party in recognizing the strategy of product placement of so many brands, but this is an eye-opening article. https://blog.hollywoodbranded.com/the-evolution-of-product-placement.
Indeed, the question might be fairly asked if the population of sites like Omega Forums itself exists because of a practice that was already becoming mainstream in 1927 with the first Academy Award winning film of "Wings" to include product placement and which featured a Hershey's bar!
Marketers will certainly assert, and many will agree with them (myself included) that brands can help propel the story because of our strong associations with particular ones. I don't know the story arc of this film, but Omega's strong association with super accurate time-keeping (with it being the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games since 1932) make me assume this close-up sequence had to involve synchronization of action for the hero to defeat his foes.

·Perry Mason Redux
I was able to take a picture of the television but don't know if this image will make it any more likely to be identifiable unless someone is especially eagle-eyed. All I can tell is the lugs look mighty different for how the band (mesh) is attached. I haven't seen any pictures of a Datejust that had lugs with this little curve. Or is this just a trick of the shadows in a still fuzzy image and the fact of a mesh bracelet with a butt ends?

·I think I read through all of these pages and did not see the "Apocalypse Now" watches - sorry if I missed them.
As most folks are likely aware, Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) wore a Seiko 6105-8119/0, a model so iconic to his role that it is now dubbed the "Captain Willard" by collectors.
I only became aware in the last few years that Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando) wore his own Rolex GMT Master 1675, minus the bezel.
Citation: Both pics I have included come from this article: Mostra - Iconic Watches from "Apocalypse Now"...

·Hey, folks - site noob here, but not new to watches. MkII Speedy is one of my all-time faves. That said, what is going on with that stem / crown. That is well beyond the set position - was he using that as some sort of spy watch antenna? I'll have to check that movie out.
