The detectives are seeking to discover the identity of a character with amnesia. They notice that he is wearing a Rolex but it does not occur to them to trace his identity from the serial number on the watch.
Not necessarily a goof: 1. The watch is not a Rolex: it does not have the trademark emblem crown at the 12 o'clock position; the band is not a Rolex band. 2. Although another high-end watch brand would also have a serial number, the watch could have been inherited or purchased second-hand and might not be registered.

Alfred D'Angelo is actually guilty of blackmail and attempted rape, but none of the characters consider this a crime.
