Duty Bound (1998)

Leonard B. Scott's thriller was published by Ballantine in 1998. Ted Faircloud recruits Sergeant Virgil Washington, a former Green Beret just out of prison, and Ramon, a Miami gunman deep in debt, for an operation to steal the money of a man called Carlos, and Bonita Rogers demands a million dollars of it as her share.

Watches

Rolex watch: Meeting Faircloud, Bonita puts on a series of gold bracelets and snaps the clasp of a gold Rolex as she tells him she wants a million dollars of what he means to steal from Carlos, and asks whether he knows how to make Carlos move his money (p. 28). On the run after a shooting, she tells the crew that Halley, the live-in cook, dropped her at the bus station and got her gold Rolex and a twenty-four-karat bracelet for her trouble (p. 191). Ramon is told to lose his fake gold Rolex (p. 8); that is a different watch. The maker is named; the model is not.
