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. :D

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.

It's only 10ATM, but that's fine for the pool.

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...
