Something interesting I saw in this episode. Mac is wearing a Casio DW1000 watch, and when in the helicopter, he checks his watch for the countdown timer, and the time is 2:28 (assuming pm) with 3 hours and 19 minutes remaining. Also, the alarm and half hour chime is activated on the watch.
Later in the episode, we see that Charlie is also wearing a Casio DW1000 and now we see that there is a little under 3 hours and 7 minutes remaining, yet the time now shows 15:44, and the half hourly chime has been turned off.
Later Charlie checks his watch again, and it shows 7:04 with just under 3 hours remaining and the half hourly chime is back on again.
Finally we see Mac’s watch again with 19 minutes remaining, it’s two minutes past midnight.
The thing about all of this though, based on close up photos of each watch shows us that only one DW1000 was used during filming. I first thought someone was toggling between standard and military time during shots, but I had just assumed that the watch was set to the correct time. It was always set to military time, but nowhere near the correct time (based on outside observations), and at some point during filming, the annoying half hour chime was disabled. I don’t mean to nit pick, just some observations from a fan of vintage wrist watches.
