I've tried to get a closer look at the LT's watch which featured prominently in a couple of episodes.
In one he was washing his socks and pulled his expanding band up high above his wrist to avoid getting the watch wet. In another he and a fellow officer had been knocked out by a grenade blast. the Germans , thinking the LT dead, stole both their watches, pulling them straight off the wrist. I'm interested in exactly what brand of band his watch used . It seemed very flexible with a wide range of expansion. Probably a scissors type.

 

Here is a image of a Wolf Designs horizontal winder.

 

"This is a Rouchefoucauld. The thinnest water-resistant watch in the world. Singularly unique, sculptured in design, hand-crafted in Switzerland, and water resistant to three atmospheres. This is *the* sports watch of the '80s. Six thousand, nine hundred and fifty five dollars retail! It tells time simultaneously in Monte Carlo, Beverly Hills, London, Paris, Rome, and Gstaad!"

That looks like the version that I gave up to help me get my Pepsi GMT II earlier this year.

 

That was a great WW2 show.

Netflix: Rim of the World Speedy?

 

Not a speedy. Screw down pushers but not a Daytona. Maybe a seiko or citizen quartz that has screw down pushers.

 

I teed that one up for you and you hit it out of the park

 

At one point he opens up a drawer of watch winders looking for a correct piece to wear to his speaking event, hops in his Lamborghini and crashes which is how he becomes dr strange to begin with

 

"Death wish" with B. Willis. I really liked how the main character said that he likes his old Panerai, bit later gladly accepted a new one from his wife as a gift. Watch was very nicely featured! A must-see for Panerai fans! Sorry if this was mentioned before, I didn't read the entire thread.

 

not prominently but it looks like Dennis Quaid wore a Speedmaster as " Gordo Cooper " in The Right Stuff (1983)

I just saw a movie last night called "Dakota" from 1974 where the pilot wore a Speedmaster Professional.

 

Daylight with Sly. He went through a Panerai phase, wore one in a lot of his movies.

 

Now you can bid for an "historically significant" Timex movie watch worn by Charlie Sheen in Platoon

Watched the 1955 film "The Ladykillers" on TV for the umpteenth time recently and was reminded of the scene with Alec Guiness Tissot
