Billy Bob Thorton's Wrist Watch in Bad Santa
/It’s Christmas time and that means it’s time to rewatch Bad Santa for the 100th time. I never paid attention to the watches until this year. At the beginning it’s hard to ID the exact watch that Billy Bob (Willie) is wearing, but it looks like some kind of cheap Timex. Then after the first job when he shows up in Phoenix, he’s wearing a Rolex.
This one is quite hard to ID for me. Mainly because I can’t get a good screencap of the watch (cursed DRM). Based on the photos it’s clear the watch is on a president bracelet, it’s clear that it has a day and date, and the indexes appear to be diamonds.
The closest that I found was a Rolex Day Date ref. 18238 which is a black dial, has diamond indecies and a day date. The one thing that I’m not 100% sure on is the bracelet. In the film it looks like it’s a two tone bracelet but I’m not able to find a watch face that matches the one in the film that also has a two tone bracelet. So maybe I’m wrong.
