Rolex Oscar commercial
I really liked the ad. Can we identify every film?
My brother, who is a big watch aficionado liked it, but immediately listed a handful of movies that feature Rolex that were left out, like Rainman and Die Hard.
I can think of several reasons James Bond wasn't featured, but I wonder which reason is, in fact, the reason.

Re: Rolex Oscar commercial
It made me realize that Rolex does a lot more product placement than I thought. Which was probably their intent.
Board meeting Exec #1: How do we bring more awareness to our product placement in movies?
Exec #2: Let's make an ad where we compile all the bestmoneyshots of our watches in movies!
All execs: Brilliant!
Good ad, though.

Also, there are plenty of movies where the Rolex carries negative connotations, like Die Hard.

What stood out to me most about this commercial was that it featured a clip of the just-deceased Bill Paxton.

It's been awhile since I've seen it though so there may have been a mention of a Rolex too.

Yeah. I actually didnt catch the beginning of the ad the first time it aired, and thought they were doing some sort of memorial for him, until they moved on to the next clip. Great ad, though.

Re: Rolex Oscar commercial
I'd worn it for over ten years and it needed a new crystal ($250) and the band re-polished ($200) besides the usual servicing ($400).

Re: Rolex Oscar commercial
I've worn mine daily for 21 years, the crystal looks brand new, I've never had the band polished, and it's only been serviced once. Runs pretty good.
