Alan Arkin wears an unidentified watch

"Always be closing" might be the most famous sales speech ever written, and the men who hear it in Glengarry Glen Ross spend the rest of the film proving they can't. Alan Arkin plays George Aaronow, the weakest of the real estate salesmen trapped in James Foley's 1992 adaptation of David Mamet's play. The film drops these men into a cramped office with bad leads and impossible quotas, then watches them crack. Ed Harris schemes. Al Pacino hustles. Jack Lemmon begs. Arkin's George mostly gets talked into things by Harris's Dave Moss and then panics about what he's agreed to.

His watch has not been identified. George is a character who has been selling real estate badly for long enough that whatever watch he owns was bought years ago and never replaced. It wouldn't be expensive — George doesn't close deals, and the film makes sure you know it. In Mamet's world, what you wear says exactly how much you've sold, and George Aaronow's wrist tells that story without needing a brand name.
