Eddy Mitchell wears a Rolex Datejust

La Cité de la peur (1994) is one of the most-quoted French comedies ever made, set at the Cannes Film Festival, where a serial killer murders the projectionists of a terrible horror movie one by one. The comedy troupe Les Nuls wrote it and play the leads, stacking sketches and running gags into absurdist momentum. The singer Eddy Mitchell turns up in a cameo as the fourth projectionist, a familiar face dropped in for a single beat.

A watch-spotting site identifies his watch as a steel Rolex Datejust, the watch that announces a man has moved up in the world, which is a funny thing to put on a projectionist who exists for one joke. The watch is not clearly visible in the available images, so the identification stays tentative.
