I as the others day about why guys always wear watches in films .. lots of people said product placement . So I thought it would be fun for peps to tell there favourite watch scene in a film and why ...... just for fun

If I recall correctly, this isn't "product placement," but I hope it counts anyway!

Kudo's to those who know this scene. Made me foray into watches since it was friggin' Will Smith's watch.

I really liked the use of the Victorinox Chrono Classic XLS MT (talk about a mouthful) in Source Code. He actually used the functions in a non-gimmicky way, which is a nice change from most product placements.

I Am Legend. I believe he was setting his "get the hell out of here and back to safety" alarm.

A recent Jason Statham movie featured closeups of a Mille Miglia watch (forget the brand). I liked it because its sheer obviousness gave me a chuckle. Who could miss a thirty-foot-high watch?

I kinda like it when it's done with tongue in cheek; like that TAGHeuer billboard in that Resident Evil film.

Saying that, I can't think of any other similar instances.

We can't omit... IMO the best one of all time and that is from the best film of all time - Pulp Fiction's, Captain Koons played by Christopher Walken. The watch is unidentified (old Rolex?), but none the less, an incredible scene (as is ALL of them in the movie)...!:

Brosnan with the Seamaster. That's what got me into buying mine.

I don't think Doxa paid too much for this one - the orange faced dive watch is just such an integral part of the character that the producers couldn't do anything else....
