    I was watching "Wall Street - Money Never Sleeps" for a second time. Surprised how much better the movie was this time around - perhaps because I was drinking coffee, rather than Champagne and was able to absorb the dialogue better...

    Aside from the star character wearing the IWC Portuguese Perpetual which is featured in several tight, close shots in the picture - there is a delightful, animated sequence in the closing credits with the theme of "time" which is integrated from the plot- the precious asset that Gordon Gekko is losing. Set to the music of famed artist, David Byrne - the display back of a rose gold Portuguese Automatic, morphs into the front of a rose gold Ingenieur VC edition, then into a birthday cake...

    Glimpses of IWCs are sneaked in throughout the movie. At one point in the picture (when the inconspicuous stories of "Churchill Schwartz" are becoming viral and covered by the news - shots of Internet articles included banner ads for the IWC Aquatimer Galapagos - for example.

    If you've only seen the movie once - you may enjoy a second look.

    Correction: 2 characters wear IWC. 502303 PPC on Jacbon Moore's wrist, and a KK Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar in rose gold 376205 on Gordon Gekko's, with the latter appearing only once in that living room, in a really tight shot.

    Yes. I have read IWC releases about these 2 watches in the picture - but in no scene is Michael Douglas wearing an IWC DaVinci. I don't know what to make of it.

    I have no idea what watch he is wearing in the photo you provided - Longines? Jaeger-LeCoultre?

    Yes you are quite right. That does not look like a KK DV PC.
