I too was watching Apollo 13 (for about the 10th time) this weekend, I'm pretty sure they were wearing Omegas...which would be correct, don't recall the scene you mentioned....will need to check the DVD.
ok just to answer the question, Yes I look for those things but my knowledge isn't extensive enough to tell me if someone is right or wrong for the time periord..however just to add to this line of questioning I was looking for more info and history on the Citizen Bullhead when I came across a site talking about the Chrono's that NASA tested and used. I believe it was the all knowing Chuck Maddox that responded thoroughly but what I didn't know is that there is evidence to suggest as well as verbal testimony from Swigart that he did wear a GMT on Apollo 13 mission. There was a picture posted of Swigart after splashdown wearing 2 watches. So it seems the movie did get it right. They did have their Omegas but Swigart also had his Rolex. Another interesting tidbit that I didn't know was that a Waltham chrono also made it to the surface of the moon.
(man I gotta find that link)
