This is true as hell. I haven't seen another one anywhere online at all. I got very lucky finding it, and that is probably because at the time I was the only one who knew what it was.

I had no interest in what watch Dexter wore, until reading this thread.

Now I am really curious. I don't want one(Or maybe I would if I saw it), just need to know. Time to do a search.

Edit: Searching the site, I narrowed it to three possibilites. The "rare and expensive" narrowed it to two, one of those being really pricey. Darkpassenger, you are one determined dude.

found it!!!!! Real Dexter Wristwatch discover

Risu · 07-04-2011, 02:30 AM

That's one of the previously mentioned close-enough watches. Not the real thing, though.

pinder91 · 07-04-2011, 02:48 AM

Yeah, that's not it. I was actually wishing it was an Omega Constellation instead of a Timex. I'm glad that it turned out to be neither.

Read page 2 and you'll see AlienIvan's post saying it is not the right watch.

I am too actually. It is really obscure and a brand, I personally, never heard of.

john mcclane · 07-04-2011, 10:37 AM

so its not a timex.

i am just curious i've looked every where for the green jumpsuit dex wears. Have any of you had any luck finding it?

BGHUNTER · 07-05-2011, 03:12 AM

Darn I wish they were Timex ,
there every were

Risu · 07-05-2011, 03:23 AM

The green jump suit was custom made for the show.

DarkPassenger · 07-05-2011, 04:27 AM

I am really starting to think they only have one watch that Dexter wears. Throughout the seasons, the watch in Season 1 looks almost new and shiny, like below.

...... and by season 4, the watch is all dinged up and scratched.

And here is Harry's watch. The number markers are not the same as Dexter's watch at all. Dexter's are box shaped while Harry's are long and thin. (best pic I could find).

If there was more then one for the show, why wouldn't Harry wear it also? It would also explain the band change in Dexter's watch. Maybe the prop team did have a hard time finding more and had to settle for a "close enough" for Harry's.

john mcclane · 07-05-2011, 05:08 AM

Can someone please point me in the right direction to finding the watch? Who do I talk to? There has to be someone. When you guys are sleeping like babies this is what's keeping me up at night!

Sorry If Im sounding like a Dick.

BGHUNTER · 07-05-2011, 05:08 AM

The watch Harry is wearing seems to have longer hour marks (cant think of there real name) were Dexters seem to be shorter , so it looks as they are different

John dont rush! I spent 12 months looking of a 6.3V tantium capacitor , and when I found it it was all the more sweeter,

Half the fun is the hunt , since this thread Ive spent hours looking online for possible candidates

Rbeato · 08-09-2011, 09:50 PM

in some pics it makes it look like the inside of the watch is a pearl or silver, but its actually got a hint of gold to it, but the rest is silver/chrome

TymerDC · 08-09-2011, 10:07 PM

If someone can get me better pics I can identify the watch. I have an extensive library and resources on watches.

Mike J. · 08-09-2011, 10:20 PM

The cases suggest the 60's or the 70's - that's all I can tell you. The faces / dials, cases and bands are very generic. Dexter's looks like it has the manufacturer and model name just above the hands, and the number of jewels below. That's pretty normal. I can't tell if it even has numerals all around or just markers, or if it's got a date window at the 3-o-clock position.

Better pics would help, no matter who's searching.
