Watches
- Rolex Day-Date
- Vasco's watch is a Rolex Day-Date with small diamonds in place of the hour numerals, worn with a black silk shirt and tie. He once told Connor that he has the left sleeves of his suit coats cut shorter than the right to show off his expensive watches, which Connor took for a joke. The text names the model and the diamond dial only; the metal and reference are not given.
