The Real Watch
I have found out what the watch is. The brand and the name under the brand. But i can not post my enhancement yet because they are at home. but i think i have found it unfortunately the watch is not on e-bay... yet. But i will see if i can find one.
I will hopefully post a picture in the morning unless i meet with my friend for my project we are doing.

Re: The Real Watch
That's exactly what I thought and have been searching for since day 1 without any luck but now that we have a nice big pic that may help.
Thanks!

Re: The Real Watch
Awesome....I believe that it's a Bulova 17 jewel watch with sunburst pattern and sub-second accessory. the case is the true sum***** to find. the lugs are very,very unusual. I have not seen a case even close yet.
I have considered that the prop guys may have stuck Bulova guts in another brand case but I doubt it. so far all the Objects and their particular quirks are all real and do exist.

Re: The Real Watch
While the color is off the box looks close i would have to compare screen shots but i think the case is close

I hate to say it sir but i disagree with you about it being a 23 jewel because i spend a lot of time looking at the picture but from what i can make out the first number is 98% certain is a one.
Here is a watch that is really close just dosen't have the right desgin on the face and the extra lettering
http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-1955-Bulova-Solid-14K-Gold-21-Jewel-Wrist-Watvh_W0QQitemZ110177250831QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item110177250831
But however here is another one that has the right design.

this one has the right type of hands on it.

I am taking these pictures with me in my sample Catalogue design and see if it helps me find the watch. I want to go hunting for it today and some other objects. and this way i can test to see if the catalogue works well in this design and if not i will know what to change ^_^.

Re: The Real Watch
well my hunt was not able to go very well. of course i picked a holiday to go around and every pawn shop, thrift store, and antique store was closed. and so i did not get to find even one object... (even the watch store)
But i will go on my next day off and see if i can find it

Re: The Real Watch
Has anyone found a watch?
This must be the hardest to find Object. I even posted a query on alt.horology, but they were no help.

Re: The Real Watch
I've checked every forum, every dealer, both online and in a hundred mile radius looking for the watch, not to mention checking eBay twice a day, every day since I started this little quest with no success.
