Why did John Wayne wear a bracelet on his wrist in the movie Train robbers?

There's no record of John Wayne wearing a bracelet in the movie "The Train Robbers" (1973). He did wear a wristwatch, however, but there's no specific symbolism or backstory associated with it in the film.

It's likely that the watch was simply a practical prop for his character, Cole Younger, a historical figure who was known to be a meticulous and cautious man.

It's possible you might be thinking of a different film, or perhaps you're remembering a scene from "The Train Robbers" where Wayne's character was wearing something else on his wrist, such as a bandanna or a leather strap.

Would you like me to look into any specific scenes or details you remember?
