An Anachronistic Timepiece in American Hustle

In “American Hustle,” Louis C.K.’s character wears a modern gold Rolex watch, which contrasts with the film’s accurate portrayal of the late ’70s and early ’80s. Despite the attention to detail in the movie, this anachronism stands out noticeably.

The inclusion of a Rolex 116718 GMT Master II wristwatch, produced around 2010, raises questions about the authenticity of the character’s accessories within the period depicted in the film.
