    welp its that time of the year, football season has started, the big tattoo convention is going on in Vegas and the weirdos are rolling out of hiding, to the city with no shame, there to place intoxicated emboldened bets and watch the big freak show go on. and what better way to get in the spirit (while getting left behind this year) then to watch some Fear and loathing in Las Vegas. there have been other threads on this in the past, but i want to finally get to the heart of it. what is Johnny Depp as Hunter S. Thompson really wearing on his wrist? hunters_wwatch.jpg in another forum "they" suggested the Monval Supermatic. an interesting in my case unheard of candidate. but it lacks the white 15 min counter on the bezel obviously pictured above. after looking at some SeaMasters over the years some 120m from the early 70's in my eyes MIGHT be a candidate. can anyone help pinpoint this elusive bastard? monval1.jpg monvalback.jpg we're looking for a cushion case style diver from the late 60's early 70's

    I was curious about the watch Pierce Brosnan wore in November Man... and their conclusion was Oris BC3. Huh? My initial guess was some kind of Sinn (excepting hands), but the Oris BC3 doesn't even look close.

    And who said WIS watch collectors were pedantic anal obsessive nerds?

    Speaking of vintage metal rallyes, picked-up this Speidel classic yesterday. Excellent condition.
