    I did search, and couldn't see a similar thread, but forgive me if this is duplication.

    I just spotted this watching s8e22 of Castle (bit of trash TV for which I've just got a bit of a soft spot!), right at the opening.

    Aside from the obvious (Bond, Apollo 13, etc.), just thought it'd be good to have a thread for these random spots.

    So eyes peeled folks...

    I posted these in another thread a month or two ago.

    On an episode of House Hunters on HGTV, a gent's two-tone integrated bracelet Constellation:

    In a TV commercial for foot cream, a lovely ladies' Constellation:

    What I believe is a ladies' Constellation on the wrist of Cristina Ferrare on Hallmark Channel, but I don't know for sure.

    PO chrono 3313 movement, also worn by Adam Savage on Mythbusters. He has a nice video about it done with Everyday Carry. My money is that he has a speedy pro also as he recreates NASA space suits.

    You can also see this 3313 on HBO's Silicon Valley worn by the D Bag Triple Comma Billionaire.

    Look at the sub dials. Then look at a real one. You'll see the differences.

    Subdials are wrong. Left should be running seconds. Right chrono minutes and bottom chrono hours.

    That's pretty sad using a fake POC in Castle, they had a genuine Speedmaster Pro at one point.

    I'll also point out the same TV studios that produce shows like this scream bloody murder about piracy on a daily basis, how people torrenting their TV shows are committing a crime, and that downloading is theft.

    What the hell is this then? The hypocrisy is laughable.

    Someone better tell Stana Katic or the props department then. May have been her own, and therefore has been duped unsuspectingly?

    I very much doubt it, its a common enough thing on movies and TV shows that you pretty much know their prop department are just saving money by going for a fake intentionally.
