Have you tried re-watching some of the originals ?
We are used to very different shows now. I used to think the originals were good, and when I watched them again recently I tried so hard to recover the fascination I felt back then... and it was very difficult.

But it is true: Selleck as Magnum had a lot more charisma. That said, I kinda like the current Higgy Baby better....
I've tried rewatching the originals. Cringeworthy!

I also like Ms Weeks. Good choice.

Take your point. Perhaps I just wanted it to be something more than it is. It has a rather dismissive attitude to death as well which I find a bit odd.

I agree, I've felt that way too. Trying to recapture the past doesn't always work for me because I've changed too much.

Same here, obviously. And good for us. It would be really tragic if we were the same 40 years down the road....

I was watching the HBO documentary Q: Into the Storm about Qanonymous and one of the guys running the 8chan site wears a Seamaster 300M Pro grey dial on bracelet.

I haven't been able to catch up with the season yet, but I was wondering if Magnum may get an upgraded watch for example an SMP. The show's creator was sacked from the show before Season 3 and I thought that he might want his Rolex back, which he gave to Jay Hernandez in deference to the original series.

Interesting. Did not know that.

I believe the watch did change. I'm pretty sure in the previous seasons it was a 16700.

In this season it seems to be a more vintage correct 16750 with a Submariner bracelet. As seen in these snapshots from episode 2:

In the reboot Juliette Higgins wore an Omega Constellation. At least in season 1. I knew it was a Constellation when I saw just the backside of the bracelet. You know you are an Omega degenerate when you recognize a watch by it's bracelet!

Magnum wore a Rolex 16710 GMT Master II with a faded bezel in Season 1, Episode 1. But after that he wore what appears to be a 16750 with a non-faded bezel. The acrylic crystal is obvious in side views.

Episode 1



Episode 3
