    I think I've added the photo below.

    I must respect the owner's privacy as he cherishes the watch very dearly for over 20 years now. It has a great story behind it by the way....
    What I can share is that the watch with the dial restored is a 1950 Seamaster 34mm 14 ct Rose Gold Cal 342 bumper automatic with the correct pink gold crown , purchased for £300 in 1996

    I saw the film again today with my girlfriend. I shot a video of the scene in his car, where we have the best shot of the watch.

    Incidently, my girlfriend 'elbowed' me :eek: just as the watch appeared on-screen, but the anti-shake feature saved me!.. she didn't realize I was recording.. :D


    Here, I see that the watch looks quite small on his wrist. It appears much bigger in all other parts of the film.

    Perhaps they used a big-wristed dude/model in the close-up shot...:rolleyes:

    Lovely! Looks correct to me. I'd love to have one -- I need a gold dress watch in my collection anyway.

    From the screen capture, the marker tips extend beyond the minute marks, i.e., no dots at the 5 minute markers.

    Good point. It's definitely pretty close though, besides that and the hands.

    Looks nice, the minute track is against the bezel on this one instead of inside the markers though.

    You are right GeorgeBailey2. The weird thing is. That the movie shot looks silver to me as well.
