Did you catch this in NATIONAL TREASURE

Did you catch this in National Treasure? When Ben offers his watch as collateral to inspect the 100 dollar bill at the clothing store, it is anything but an equal exchange. Ben’s watch is a Rolex Submariner Date diver’s watch, which is worth well over 8,000 dollars.

I think that was point to show he wouldn’t take the money

[T-Mich]

We all noticed, for naturally most of us as watch collectors and watch enthusiasts.

This scene was the talk of the movie, no one would stop talking about the exchange. It was a marvelous moment, one I’ll never forget in the theater.

That's… not something you "catch", it's almost explicitly stated in the scene. He _tells_ her it's a Submariner, and mentions that it's "actually quite valuable".

Literally always watched this movie before breaks or on free days in middle school, seen it so much I know what happens at so many times just at a look

[Emily-sfwz]

I think it’s implied that he’s just exchanging it for a moment and he’s on a mission that is obviously incredibly important to him.

[sarahberkner]

It was just collateral, he gets the watch back in the end. If you think about it she's giving him more than $100, she's also risking her job because it's not her money.

And by over 8k you mean double that. 16k retail new, 10-12k pre-owned.

This guy sounds like the guy who speaks on the infographics show

[omarflores]

I had one friend who sold a Rolex in the 70's for around $100. Today it's worth over

[tronpig]

I'd recognize that watch any day, hopefully he got it back some how

[theoutlook]

How the heck did a historian afford a watch that expensive, and why the heck would he want one like that?

[archangel]

I'm not a watch collector or any of the sort
But even I can tell that it was not equivalent exchange

[SarimFaruque]

An 8, 000 watch is practically nothing compared to thousands of years worth of history

[jimb.]

*PLOT TWIST:* The woman at the store didn't work there and she gave him a counterfeit bill.

[dfernandez]

$8k!? I feel so poor with my Breitling Navitimer ☹

[joeyrigsby]

I caught it cause I always look to buy 8k watches cause I am rich

[agirlnamedbrett.]

holy hell, that watch better do magic to cost up to $8 grand

[curtism-wb]

The watch you show up close isn't a date. Hence why it doesn't have the day on the dial. 🤨

[chichiboypumpi]

The kind pompous politicians and ofws from my country would wear
