Good Fortune is Aziz Ansari's 2025 comedy for Lionsgate, his feature directing debut, in which a well-meaning angel, Gabriel (Keanu Reeves), tries to teach the struggling gig worker Arj (Aziz Ansari) that money does not solve everything by swapping his life with that of the venture capitalist Jeff (Seth Rogen), and loses his wings for it; Keke Palmer and Sandra Oh co-star. It was released in the United States on 17 October 2025. (Wikipedia) (IMDb)
Watches
- Seiko SKX007
- Worn by Seth Rogen as Jeff. Cameron Barr, the vintage dealer who served as the film's horological advisor and plays himself on screen, told Robb Report that Aziz Ansari's own Seiko SKX007 "swaps wrists between Jeff and Arj, marking shifts in control and fortune": "When one wears it, he's grounded. When the other wears it, he's trying to find his way back." Barr calls it "the least impressive of all the watches" and "one of the most important". Barr hand-selected every vintage watch in the film and was on set for each watch scene; no scene is named. (Robb Report)Scene image neededSubmit a scene still!
- Seiko SKX007
- Worn by Aziz Ansari as Arj. The same Seiko SKX007, Ansari's own, passes to Arj as the body-swap plot moves control between him and Jeff; Barr told Robb Report the watch is "a visual cue of where they are in their inner life". No scene is named. (Robb Report)Scene image neededSubmit a scene still!
- Rolex Daytona 6263 Paul Newman
- The film's hero watch, which Robb Report and Barr identify as a 1978 yellow-gold Rolex Daytona reference 6263, is nicknamed "Pretty Baby" after a remark of Ansari's and, in Barr's words, "kind of turned into a character"; Barr calls the reference "a holy grail" for collectors. The frame Robb Report published shows the watch presented on a cushion, champagne dial with black registers, in a hand the article does not identify, so no wearer is recorded; the article does not say whether the dial is the exotic "Paul Newman" execution, and the reference page covers the 6263 in both.

- Rolex GMT-Master 1675
- Barr told Robb Report that a 1978 Rolex GMT-Master "Pepsi" reference 1675 "serves as a daily driver" in the film, beside the Daytona and the Seiko; the article does not say which character wears it, so no wearer is recorded. Jeff's watch box, Barr adds, was curated as a real collector's drawer of vintage and modern Rolexes, Patek Philippes and a Trilobe, none of them named individually.
