Dick Tracy movie watch - information thread

[bobok]

Does anyone have Bobok's picture he posted? he seems to have been a one post wonder. I never got a chance to see his homemade watch. Would love for someone to repost it.

Hey only really rarely check back, so sorry for the delay - and it looks like my old image link is mysteriously broken.

This was the watch. The size, dimensions and 'feel' I was all pretty happy with, but up close, the finish wasn't quite 'professional' enough.

I copied the watch face from a close up image in the 'Making of' book. The figures were quite 'degraded' - which I tried to copy as closely as possible:

There seems to be some action on a reproduction going on on another thread, which I'm off to read now!

If anyone wants the watchface artwork I can forward it on.

Not sure if anyone has completed a Dick Tracy watch yet, but, as I mentioned on some other old threads, I've just built one and am looking for feedback before my final iteration. Any thoughts are appreciated!

Hi Jim. Do you by chance still have this watch made by gti or know where I might be able to find one for sale? No responses yet for my request in the junkyard section about this model. Thanks
