Just found a Microma black & gold (like the Deckard's one) from a vintage collector. He ask me 250 Sterling Pounds... I think the watches must wait ME for a while... Very Happy



Does it have the three buttons or two?
The version with three buttons is the one they used.

Some trivia for you;

Microma are still around they just changed their name to Intel...

Only a joke! I love Tolkien books and when I was young (he he!), played too many hours with Hobbit and LODR ZX-Spectrum games! Sentences like "Thorin waits, Time Passes" and so on, are carved in my mind with Fire.... Saurom Mountain one, perhaps... Twisted Evil

Interesting link, amish. I think any prop could have its own category and all sort of info about identification in the movie, how to find it in the real world (hum, sounds like Morpheus...) and / or how to make it a replica. Screen used ones, the very real ones, are apart. This schema is what I'm (trying) to use in the Fan Book Project.

Some as simple as clay pipes has grown every day we are talking about (Fred, you are guilty! Very Happy). Watches, the same thing, and so on.... not to mention blaster issues... Twisted Evil

Will rest tuned with this topic. Watches are a nice addition to any collection.

I think it's probably a Hamilton.

Seems like the watch guys aren't as enthusiastic as we would have hoped!
Not one reply...

Well, I know this is old...but going through a few of my pictures, I sure have a strong vote on the Hamilton.

I am a bit of a watch geek, and this pair belongs to a friend of mine. Comparing to the HD captures, it sure looks like they mated a couple of these. The center button is spot on, but it sure seems like there is a logo centered on the crystal. Thats what stumps me on the Hamilton....every one I've seen has the logo top left corner.

If someone is looking, it looks like there's one in this lot of watches needing repair. The seller claims it to be a Wittnauer.

I know this is an old post, I was able to locate 6 LED watches similar to the Bryant LED watch. I think it was like 2002. It was not an exact match but it was a fun project. Very pricey because LED watches even then were expensive. I took the watches to a watchmaker and had him put them together for me. He thought I was crazy but I was very happy. I put together images of the Bryant watch into a 3 ring binder laminating the pages. Then I created cases for the 3 watches with a cartoon like drawing of Captain Bryant. I sold 2 of the watches to some Japanese collectors and I have retained one watch.

Today it would even be more expensive to make such a watch. I would think that the prop department would have no trouble making such a watch. As most hand props in Blade Runner was created by the prop department. Scott would have wanted something different. But until we find the watch or it surfaces we won't know. Another mystery. But a cool prop never the less .
