In Gold (2016), Matthew McConaughey plays Kenny Wells, a Reno prospector running his late father's mining company out of a bar until he bets everything on a gold strike in the Indonesian jungle. Stephen Gaghan's film is loosely based on the 1990s Bre-X scandal and its founder, David Walsh. McConaughey transformed for the role, shaving his head, gaining about 45 pounds on a diet of burgers and beer, and wearing false teeth.

Watch enthusiasts identify the gold-toned watch on Wells's wrist as a Casio A159WGEA-5, the gold-plated digital that costs about as much as a cheap lunch. The identification comes from enthusiast sites rather than the brand or the watch press, but it is a fitting piece for a man chasing real gold in its cheapest imitation.
