Anyone notice the Rolex watch mistake in the movie American Hustle?
Hey there everyone! Long time no post! :winkewinke:
My son and I watch the movie American Hustle yesterday and I spotted a fairly big production blunder. The movie was set in the late seventies to early 1980's and as most films do, great attention to detail was made for the characters, sets, and clothing to appear to be period correct. Christian Bale's character wore a yellow gold Rolex Day-Date which looked reasonably period correct - they didn't show any real close ups of it, but there was nothing glaringly incorrect that I could see. However, later in the movie we're introduced to Bradley Coopers boss - an FBI supervisor who in ~1980 is wearing a solid gold Rolex GMT Master II with a ceramic bezel....a watch which would not be made for about another 25 years after this movie was supposed be occurring. :scared::001_rolleyes: Not to mention the burning question of why a fairly low level FBI Supervisor is even able to afford a solid gold Rolex GMT??
I got a fairly big eye roll followed by "Daaaaaaad....." when I pointed out this glaring mistake to my son. :lol: Anyone else catch it?
