Good catch. What's weirder is that he actually wears a Rolex in real life that COULD pass for one from the era at a distance (16610).

I think they were gifted SS 16610s. OP's pic looks like a gold GMT II

Sorry. Diverged from the OP.
The movie watch looks to be the 116718 } anachronistic to the nth degree

My subsequent comments were regarding Louis CK's real life Rolex.
Hence any confusion.

Yes, I believe that's what I said originally & what DJ TT 2002 were talking about. I think you got confused.....

Good eye.

I remember watching an old episode of the TV series Combat. The person played by Vic Morrow was wearing a GMT-MASTER in one episode.

Kinda strange for a WWII show.
