File:The Deer Hunter (1978) - Rolex Sea-Dweller 1665 scene.jpg

Summary

Description: The Deer Hunter (1978) — Robert De Niro as Michael "Mike" Vronsky, extreme close-up on his left wrist during the climactic Russian-roulette sequence in Saigon (Mike's 1973 return to Vietnam), loading/cocking a revolver held in his other hand. His steel Rolex Sea-Dweller "Double Red" ref. 1665 on an Oyster bracelet is worn on the wrist, dial face-on and clearly legible (black bezel, dot/baton hour markers, date at 3 o'clock), matching the page's BAMF Style citation.

Modifications: BAMF Style's source file is a three-frame side-by-side compilation of three consecutive screencaps from this same Russian-roulette scene (no product photography involved, all three panels are genuine film frames, separated only by thin white divider bars). This file isolates the single center panel — the clearest, most face-on view of the watch — cropped from the original 3600x1522px composite at pixel bounds x=1202-2398, y=0-1522, discarding the other two panels and their divider bars. No resizing, retouching, upscaling, or other alteration was made to the retained frame itself. Related page: The Deer Hunter (1978)
