    How can it be the same model? He changes the watch during the film?

    In the upper screen-capture, it appears that something has been added to the dial or the crystal. All of the closeups of the “gag” watch indicate that the movement and dial were removed, and a different LCD movement added with a 10 hour countdown timer; you can see that the crown has been pulled out, probably to accommodate the replaced movement. The sub dials never move, indicating they’re dummies. (The actual H558 does not have a count-down timer, only a chronograph function, in addition to time, day-date, 2nd time zone, stopwatch timer, and alarm/hourly chime. (I know all this since I’ve owned one since 1985.)

    All other shots of the watch that I’ve seen show the real H558 that Arnold wore in Commando, Raw Deal, and Predator.
