I spoke to the film's prop master, Catherine Miller, about sourcing watches for a film so entrenched in the seedy underbelly of the New
link York City watch scene. According to Miller, the watches were written into the script and were an
link important component for the Safdies.
link Ratner was originally supposed to wear two watches, but the directors thought it would be funnier (this film is in no way a comedy) if he had two watches stolen from him throughout the film, so he ends up wearing three.
