Auch wenn es eigentlich nur am Rande mit deiner Frage zu tun hat (hoffe es ist trotzdem interessant), nachfolgend die Zitate aus "On her majesty´s secret service" (Ian Fleming, 1963).

Eingeführt wird die Rolex als potentielle Waffe mit folgendem Satz.
"Bond surveyed his weapons. They were only his hands and feet, his Gillette razor and his wrist-watch, a heavy Rolex Oyster Perpetual on an expanding metal bracelet.
Used properly, these could be turned into most effective knuckledusters."
Bei seinem Fluchtversuch setzt er die Uhr entsprechend ein.
"Bond´s right flashed out and the face of the Rolex disintegrated into the man´s jaw."
Nach dem gelungenen Fluchtversuch stellt Bond einige Überlegungen an, unter anderem folgende.
"Bond lifted his left wrist. Remembered that he no longer had a watch. He would get another one as soon as the shops opened after Boxing Day.
Another Rolex? Probably. They were on the heavy side, but they worked. And at least you could see the time in the dark with those big phosphorous numerals."
Schließlich entscheidet er sich auch dafür.
"He glanced at the new Rolex on his wrist - the shops were still shut and he had to blarney it out of Q branch."
