I wear mine all the time. Only occasionly does someone get the Magnum connection. (I wear a Tigers ball cap too,so go figure) The last time someone noticed the ring they asked if it was a Knights Templar ring. I usually tell people it's a Croix de Lorraine, sign of the French resistance in WWII, as ...

I have also looked in vain for Easy Riders in the white/blue colors. If the soles of your Whirlwinds were black, they would be near perfect. Close enough, though for me to order a pair. Thanks for posting.

http://magnum-mania.com/images/1_17_v_full.jpg This was one of the best close-ups I found at this site's massive pic library. You may have to blow it up a little, but you can see the pattern and make out the vent holes on the strap. The inside of the buckle on my watch strap says "Hong Kong". Being...

Thanks for the extra info, Jake. The strap you see in the pic is rubber, by the way.

I just kept checking Ebay. Made it a "favorite" and checked every day. There is a site called Watchyouseek or something like that. Mainly a forum though, but there are other Chronosport seekers there.

Jake, you are right; the numbers on the bezel are different. The number 4 is a giveaway. Looking at the back case cover, I see the number 23501. Is that like the model number? Here's the one I bought: [img]http://i.ebayimg.com/08/!B6mW+OwBWk~$(KGrHqZ,!k8Ey+jCy3+9BM)]4eHsDdQ~~_12.JPG[/img] I really l...

I saw that. It's the third one in about 2 months to be sold on Ebay. I got the second one. The one sold today is a Sea Quartz 30, as far as I can tell. Apparently the later models actually have the 30 on the dial face, but mine doesn't, making it more like Magnum's. The 30 is on the back, though. To...

This one looks a little longer than standard but still not 3 inches.

Just wondered how your buckle project was doing N1095A?

Glad to see a couple of buckles show up. Good luck with your efforts. The engraving on mine was around 15 dollars. A trophy and plaque shop should have the best choice of engraving fonts.

Is that the belt at uniforms4-u.com?
If you could find a blank buckle for around $12, the badge for $12 and the engraving $15, that would be under $50 for the finished buckle. I've spent way too much on this project.

Your're right; the tape is strong stuff and makes a firm bed for the badge, which by the way is a bit bigger then the Surface Warfare badge. Thanks for the help on that.

As far as I can tell, Magnum wore a standard brass buckle the first season. As you can see from the pic, I have replaced the first badge with the Special Ops badge, which makes more sense. This badge is all brass, and after cutting the pins off, I was able to bend it to the contour of the buckle and...
