Watches
- Rolex Day-Date
- Worn by Tom Cruise as Charlie Babbitt. BAMF Style confirms Charlie's watch as a gold Rolex, hedging the specific model as likely a Day-Date on a President bracelet. (BAMF Style) Montres de Luxe identifies it more confidently as a yellow-gold Day-Date on a President bracelet, and ties the watch to the plot: Charlie pawns it in Las Vegas to keep gambling with Raymond's card-counting winnings, then redeems it once the money pays off. (Montres de Luxe) The film says so in dialogue: counting the $86,500 they have won, about an hour and a half in, Charlie asks how much it costs to get the Rolex back and is told $3,500. (Rain Man, dialogue at about 1:30)
