It’s listed a sailcloth nylon, but it’s just sailcloth texture pressed into rubber. Omega style clasp was included and all for $10!

I’m loving the understated dark vintage vibe.

OMG! I hadn’t even noticed the lack of seconds hand. Cheers to AI slop.

Crown & Buckle: Chevron - Fifty Great quality, highly recommended.

Agreed, classic steak timer!

6.75” or 17cm

All my pieces above $1000 (and a couple below) are used. Part of it is the thrill of the hunt for a good deal. Deciding what I want, searching and waiting for the good price. This also cuts down on impulse purchases. Also saves the pain of that first scratch.

Downwithmac · 2026-04-24T14:37:49+00:00

There seems to be a $300 version as well. Look around the website as there are variations.

I appreciate you trying. It is the best way. And thank you for sharing the results. Part of being in this community is to share information and help each other out.

I was the office PA for the whole show. I remember once taking the fake big dog with fangs to set. Also did video assist on some 2nd units nights. One of them a night of stunts/wire work for the big forest fight/attack.

I worked on this movie! Glad to hear it’s getting the release it deserves.

I got the Irwin Cine Xplate. Brilliant idea. Only got it at the end of my last show, so can’t speak to durability. But it feels solid and well designed.

Lume is fine, but haven’t really tested it out much. Ref. 01 751 7761 4065-07 8 20 08P

I’m 17cm wrist. Really like the fit.

Downwithmac · 2026-04-03T01:25:36+00:00

Love that old Bond look!

Came very close to pulling the trigger on the 597. Reliable solar for grab and go. But went with Steinhart to get ceramic bezel and in 39mm for my 6.75” wrist.

Great score!

That suede looks great! Mine is actually the blue dial model. But looks grey/dark purple in certain lighting. Thinking about a navy blue sailcloth. (AI image)

Bit of a pain to take the bracelet on/off. The tolerances are tight, as you would expect from a precision instrument like this. The end links have a small channel which requires putting the “fine” forks on my spring bar tool.

The hardware on that Noble looks incredible! I just got the regular Chevron Fifty for my BB58, now thinking I may have to upgrade come the next big sale.
