Re: I may be done with the internet, news and big tech!
I always look for the Hitchcock cameo as well, but I usually don't see it, so I have to look up cheats online so I know what time segment to look for him -- then I see it.

Re: I may be done with the internet, news and big tech!
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington is excellent, and I should watch that tomorrow with my kids... hmm... I'm a big Hitchcock fan too - both of those you mention were excellent. I really liked Rear Window, The Birds, Psycho, Rebecca, Foreign Correspondent, Dial M for Murder, Vertigo, Marnie. Really the lis...

Re: Buying a Rolex or Chronosport
Thanks. Here is a pic of my current frequently-worn watches, in no particular order. L-R: Mathey-Tissot Batman GMT; Steinhart Pepsi GMT; Chronosport SQ30; Seiko 6M25; Omega Seamaster DeVille (ca 1960-something). The Omega was my grandfather's, and my parents recently found it and gave it to me. It i...

Re: Buying a Rolex or Chronosport
I know it's heresy to remove a Tropic Strap from a Chronosport, but this morning I swapped my Tropic Strap and my Maen-brand NATO strap. I like the results here. Since I'll never take my Chronosport in the pool, I'll leave things this way until I actually buy a second Tropic Strap. https://i.ibb.co/...

Re: Buying a Rolex or Chronosport
I think this one looks nice on the NATO strap, and this NATO strap fits me very well. I just think I wouldn't like getting the strap wet, because it wouldn't be easy to dry. Rubber straps and stainless steel bracelets seem to me to be the winners for diving.

Re: Buying a Rolex or Chronosport
I have this Mathey-Tissot, which I like, but I don't like the Jubilee bracelet it came on, so I moved it to this NATO strap.
I don't want to take this strap swimming, and was thinking maybe this watch should be on a Tropic strap.
What do y'all think?

Re: Buying a Rolex or Chronosport
I got a new watch yesterday. It's not a Rolex Pepsi GMT, but I did the best I could... The GMT hand is set to Honolulu time. :magnum: I mostly got this to track my exercise and to be able to go on walks without taking a phone -- I'll just take the Apple Watch and AirPods now. I will still prefer my ...

Re: Buying a Rolex or Chronosport
Question for you horological sleuths: Did TC also wear a Chronosport Sea Quartz 30 in some episodes? Someone commented on the Momentum Watch site: "Did you know that Theodore Calvin (TC) also wore the same watch? Season 12, Episode 12 "Thicker Than Blood." About 4:50 in...while he's checking anothe...

Re: Buying a Rolex or Chronosport
I was checking out the Tudor website, and found that Tudor now has a Pan Am style GMT watch ... which has now been added to my wishlist. I had been wanting a Tudor Pepsi GMT, and now I can have a Pan Am style version of that!

Re: Buying a Rolex or Chronosport
I just upgraded my new Momentum Sea Quartz 30 to a Tropic Strap®. Momentum's version of the tropic strap isn't bad at all. I just wasn't a fan of the quick-change spring bars. But the Tropic Strap® is definitely higher quality. Compared side by side, you can see it in the little details down to the...

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 on...
