Either the prop team then replaced the Corfam strap with a locally purchased
link metal bracelet or McQueen asked that a metal bracelet be fitted to the watch. He wore the Monaco, now with a metal
link bracelet, for a few days, which explains the photograph. Not liking the feel or perhaps the look of the watch – we'll never know – he handed it back to the prop department and returned to his Sub. Most likely, Nunley put the Monaco on
link the metal bracelet in a safe place to avoid any "continuity" problems.
