I was watching this 1977 film today, I was checking out Jackie Gleason's watch and it appears to be an 18K Rolex President with silver dial. Has anyone else noticed his watch in the movie?

One of my favorite movies of all time, but I haven't watched it since I've learned more about Rolex. I'll have to look for that next time.

This movie was based on the real-life Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash from New York, NY to Redondo Beach, California.

A great article about the Dash appeared in CAR and DRIVER magazine. Here is a link:

Dan Gurney and Brock Yates meet with their chief rivals at the finish line in Redondo
Beach.
Yates and Gurney, in a Ferrari Daytona, were only 53 minutes faster than the famous
founders of the Polish Racing Drivers of America (left to right) Brad Niemcek, Tony
Adamowicz and Oscar Koveleski, who made the run in a specially fitted Chevrolet van.
