* ''Series/{{Succession}}'', being about a family of media billionaires and their inner circles, has them wearing several luxurious watches.
** In the first episode, Tom, trying to curry favor with the patriarch Logan, gives him a Patek-Philippe watch. However, Logan's wealth is so astronomical that he's very unimpressed with it and in the end it's simply used as a bribe so someone will sign an NDA.
** A FreezeFrameBonus reveals that Logan intended to bequeath his loyal bodyguard Colin a rare Rolex Daytona Lapis, which is worth hundreds of thousands if not millions.

->'''Lloyd:''' Andrew Klein was once your close friend and mentor. Now go reminisce and enjoy yourself, because I'm ''not'' canceling. Maybe put on a cheaper watch, though, so he doesn't feel too bad?
->'''Ari:''' ''(sighs, hands over his credit card)'' Run down to Geary's and get me a stainless Rolex.

* Music/{{Eminem}} was traditionally known for his modest jewellery compared to other rappers, famously wearing a G-Shock because he worried too much about getting his expensive watches scratched. But after changing his image in the late 2010s, his signature watch became an extremely elaborate custom Rolex Day Date covered in gold nuggets, though he still wears a cheaper G-Shock on casual occasions.

* In WebAnimation/TheOdd1sOut's video "Buying Clothes", there's a skit where a [[RichBastard rich guy]] [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed resembling infamous YouTuber RiceGum]] shows off his fancy watch to two other people while in a hot tub, who are unimpressed by it.
->'''Rich Guy:''' Hey guys! Did you see my brand new Rolex? (chuckles) Are you ''jealous''?
->'''Hot Tubber #1:''' ...Doesn't your ''phone'' tell the time?
->'''Hot Tubber #2:''' Maybe he never noticed that his phone has a clock in it.
->'''Rich Guy:''' Pffft! No one buys a Rolex to tell the time! [[RichInDollarsPoorInSense I can't even read this [watch]!]] People buy Rolexes to indirectly tell everyone [[ConspicuousConsumption how much money we can throw away on useless objects]]!
