The real story happened in 1984. NYPD officer Robert Cunningham, short on cash after lunch at Sal's Pizzeria in Yonkers, offered his waitress Phyllis Penzo half of his lottery ticket instead of a tip. It hit for $6 million. They split it and stayed friends. Andrew Bergman's It Could Happen to You (1994) romanticizes that into a love story, with Nicolas Cage as Charlie Lang, the cop, and Bridget Fonda as the waitress Yvonne Biasi. Rosie Perez plays Lang's wife Muriel, who gets increasingly unhinged as her husband gives half of their $4 million to a woman he barely knows.

Cage wears a simple silver-toned watch with a round case on his left wrist, visible when he is at the diner counter in his NYPD uniform. It is the right kind of watch for Charlie Lang: functional, no pretension, probably bought on a cop's salary. The brand has not been identified.
