    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The actor’s spokesman told German tabloid Bild that the airport incident was “a total comedy full of errors, but which would make a very funny police film”.

    Bild said he “took the incident calmly” and an image it published showed a smiling Schwarzenegger posing for a photo and holding a box for the watch with a note saying “For Austria”.

    According to local media, the watch was custom-made for the Terminator star by luxury watchmaker Audemars Piguet, which makes timepieces that can sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

    The watch was said to be up for auction at a fundraising dinner for The Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative in Kitzbuhel, Austria, about 89 km (55 miles) from Munich, later on Thursday.

    A press release for the event, due to take place at the five-star Stanglwirt hotel, said “artworks, signed exhibits, and experiences from the worlds of sports and film” will be up for sale.

    An auction listing for the watch, obtained by Bild, said it was one of only 20 in existence, and would include “an image of Arnold in his iconic pose with the words ‘Arnold Classic’”.
