Years ago, I worked for retailer where Nicholas Cage was buying a complicated Ulysse Nardin on lay-a-way. No joke. I can't remember whether it was a Copernicus or Planetarium. He would show up three or four times a year and put down a couple for thousand bucks. I was shocked, as he was already a moderately big star, that he would do a lay-a-way. It was probably a $50,000 to $70,000 watch back then. I doubt it ever appeared on his wrist in a movie. No clue whether he ever made a final payment and took the watch home.
