Here's a screen grab from the pilot (the scene that we all know from the opening sequence). If you look carefully, you can clearly see there is no 3, 6, 9 on the dial. Also, the word QUARTZ is in all caps (not so for the later version). https://i.ibb.co/nctf3p0/Magnum-Chronoport-V1.png Here's a bet...

Wow, he wore two variants of the Chronosport? What were they? Also: no kidding on the prices! Maybe I got the last of the "reasonably" priced ones. It seems inflation is driving up the prices on everything from cars to houses to vintage watches. Or maybe this is the long-term trend as the popularit...

A great game this year. I was rooting for the underdog in this game, Navy, and they won.

Cheers!

It's the 1521 Militaire with a blasted finish: https://www.squale.ch/en/1521_militaire_blasted. It's tough as nails with a waterproof rating down to a ridiculous 1,694 feet. Much farther than I'll ever dive, lol. Very comfortable, too. Lumes for days. Bought it from a dealer in the US. This looks v...

As an aside, I've recently acquired a Seiko SPB151: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/seiko-spb151-and-spb153-captain-willard-prospex-introducing. It's a modern version of the iconic Seiko 6105-8110 "Captain Willard" that Martin Sheen famously wore in Apocalypse Now. I replaced the factory bracelet...

I'm not sure about the vintage tropic straps - I've never seen one in person. The one that came on my Squale is new. I haven't measured it yet, but it appears to be a typical, standard length strap. It's, by far, the most comfortable strap I've ever worn. I guess whether or not it works with a wets...

Possibly. He's probably too busy working on his ranch.

What do you guys think about this strap for a Chronosport SQ30? I'm getting a Tropic Strap, and will primarily use it for my SQ30, but I like the look of that NATO style strap, and the orange stripe down the middle would bring out the minute hand on the SQ30. You will love the Tropic Strap. My Squa...

Watching in North Carolina. Cheers!

Thank you for sharing, Eagle. That's a great looking Chronosport. Look forward to seeing it on the Tropic.

Field Ethos Journal just posted an interesting story: Magnum P.I. vs. James Bond: https://fieldethos.com/magnum-p-i-vs-james-bond/

Also, lots of comments today weighing in on this debate on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CVQFwzWL9ri/

So...who wins? Magnum or Bond?

And both had dark-haired daughters named Marion, who are dressed in similar clothes/colors when they are first introduced. Coincidence? Best, To The Regiment Actually Wendy Girard was a brunette (lighter brown) which would account for more than 50% of the female population I'm sure. And as I recall...

I did not make the connection to raiders of the lost ark here (but I can't unsee it now). The female lead looks a lot like the actress from raiders (I noticed it last night before this message board filled in the obvious fact that the characters are both named Marion). Based on timing - Raiders wou...
