Re: Buying a Rolex or Chronosport
So I think most people know the Rolex GMT was introduced in the Season 4 Ep 1 Home From the Sea. But in the second episode of season 4, Luther Gillis File #521, Magnum is wearing the Chronosport for the first half of the episode. And in the second half he's wearing the Rolex. I wonder if they shot s...

Re: Legacy From a Friend (3.19)
My inference is that Marcus committed suicide. He jumped overboard and allowed/forced himself to drown because he was devastated that Margaret didn't want to be with him any longer. Rose was blackmailing Margaret for the affair, not murder. Even with Marcus dead, news of the affair would still have ...

Re: Buying a Rolex or Chronosport
While the Rolex GMT Pepsi ship has sailed, I will be getting a Momentum/Chronosport Sea Quartz 30 when they open again for pre-order. I've signed up for their updates so I won't miss it. And then I will once again have a "Magnum Watch."

Re: Buying a Rolex or Chronosport
Actually, I own a Steinhart Ocean 39 GMT Pepsi with the aluminum bezel insert. I owned it prior to the Rolex. I still wear it from time to time to scratch that Pepsi itch.eagle wrote: ↑Thu May 25, 2023 8:58 pm You could do what I did -- buy a Steinhart Ocean One GMT Blue-Red. It's quite nice, and I wear it frequently.

Re: Buying a Rolex or Chronosport
We hit a point a while ago where there is really no reasonable relationship between a Rolex GMT and Magnum - other than its historical significance. Any typical military man couldn't afford a Rolex at current prices and they're not even what they once were. Magnum wore a perfectly appropriate tool ...

Re: Buying a Rolex or Chronosport
I owned a Rolex 16710 GMT Master II Pepsi. One version newer than Magnum's GMT Pepsi but extremely similar. I felt like I wasn't wearing it enough compared to its value so I sold it in 2021 (at a nice profit). Now I'm watching the entire series of MPI and seeing Magnum's GMT Pepsi and not having one...

Re: What does abridged commercial break mean?
Exactly, it doesn't bother me. I don't care if my screen fades to black for a second. It's not like I'm sitting through commercials. On the other hand, maybe a few of the original 80s commercials would be a nice touch for a few episodes. :D They sure don't make 'em like they used to. The commercial...

Re: What does abridged commercial break mean?
So it's removing the long pause where a commercial was originally played? Does this bother people? I guess I don't really mind one way or another when the commercial has been removed. But it seems like people here don't it, like it's detracting from the viewing experience. Yeah maybe some people do...

What does abridged commercial break mean?
I see many references on this site to "abridged commercial breaks" for DVD copies of the show. What does this mean? I know what the word abridged means and I know what a commercial break is, but I don't know how the two relate on a DVD.

Re: Computer Date (2.14)
I watched this one last night. I enjoyed it--definitely above average, especially compared to some of the earlier mid-season 2 episodes. A few thoughts: Lady Ashley was better looking than I would have thought. At the end she is clearly a younger actress in makeup, but she looks good to me for what ...

Re: Black on White (3.6)
I don't get the love for this episode. It had many fun moments between TM and Higgins but the overall story was bizarre. And the ending even more so. So after TM shoots and presumably kills Clutterbuck, the next morning everyone is on the beach hamming it up? How long would TM have been undergoing p...

Re: Which Blu-ray Set Is Best?
I just purchased a set of DVD's through Amazon. I care more about episode completeness than picture quality but it seems like all that's available are the syndicated episodes no matter who produced the DVD's. Oh well. At least it will be better than suffering through the highly annoying commercials ...

Re: Which Blu-ray Set Is Best?
I came here to find out what DVD set I should get for Magnum.
And most of the thread is about Knight Rider.

Re: Watching "Lest We Forget" & "Almost Home" for Dec. 7th
I watched Lest We Forget last night as I work my way through all the episodes (many of which I saw first run).
I was a USMC attorney based in Hawaii from 1999 to 2003. I saw Ford Island/Pearl Harbor being bombed during the making of 2001's Pearl Harbor movie.
