Is Fat Bob Dead Yet? (2015)

Stephen Dobyns's 2015 comic crime novel opens with a motorcyclist decapitated by a truck in New London, Connecticut, and follows the drifter Connor Raposo into the con artists and gangsters the death stirs up. Among them is Vasco, whose watch is part of his costume. (Penguin Random House)

Watches

Rolex Day-Date: Vasco wears a Rolex Day-Date with diamond hour markers. He has told Connor that he orders his left jacket sleeves shorter to show off his watches, though Connor thought he was joking. The reference and case metal are not specified.

Source text: his watch is a Rolex Day-Date with little diamonds instead of numbers. (Stephen Dobyns, Is Fat Bob Dead Yet?, scan cataloged as Blue Rider Press, 2016, p. 56; Internet Archive scan OCR)
