Looks great! Did you go with the Havana color?
Boiling it in water, will remove the wax from the jacket. Not sure what else they did, that’s something I read Cynthia’s breakdown team did.How would I go about removing the wax on the Huckberry jacket? I’ve never distressed anything but thinking of giving it a try with this one. Anyone have any tips?
Also what size do you guys think Pedro is wearing?
I'm pretty sure it's the blue. If you watch Episode 1, it's def the blue.I have nailed down the t-shirt to two now.
Is in either midnight blue or lead
In either midnight blue or steel gray
What do you guys think?
Only got size L left. Unfortunately, I have gone from size L to XL quite recently, the side effects of exercising moderatelyI'm pretty sure it's the blue. If you watch Episode 1, it's def the blue.

I'd say get the L while it's still in. There's always next season!Only got size L left. Unfortunately, I have gone from size L to XL quite recently, the side effects of exercising moderately
I'll have to wait until it comes back in stock.
Hey! So for the case, I actually used a 38mm Timex weekender. They preferred the proportions of the 38mm to the 40mm on pedro’s wrist. The face is custom. I copied off of reference and recreated it. I printed it out and actually removed the Timex Vinyl face and replaced it. It’s a fairly easy process. Timex uses a vinyl printout on a bit of sheet metal that is covered in adhesive tape.
As for the movement: The movements I used were simple Miyota 3 hand movements. The sub second hand was just for show. The movement I used is actually not available for sale anymore which is odd but any miyota 3 hand would work. Same thing for the crowns.
Now for the hands. I too had difficulty with the hands. So what I did was buy the sword hands I’ll link an very carefully hand painted them.
Watch Hands To Fit Minute Hand Hole Size .70mm And Hour Hand Hole Size 1.20mm
Style 86.725
At the time the large seconds hand was a silver or black seconds hand due to a stock issue with my supplier. So I had to hand paint those too. There may be a white option in stock now.
Watch Hand Refills Yellow Multi-Style Sweep Second Hands
Btl # 18 / .17 / 13mm – Yel
The sub seconds hand size didn’t matter but these are the ones I bought.
Watch Small Sub Second Hands In Stick And Leaf Hole Sizes .26, .20, .17 And .16mm (Probably the red leaf shape)
As for the difference in the pre break and post break hands, the unbroken ticking watches I sent had issues during transit. Possibly a customs issue. So they did some in house repairs and may have been able to source something in Canada I was not able to stateside. For some reason we have quite limited options here. But I have a source.
Pilot Style Watch Hand Set - Black/White - CT867 - Crystaltimes USA
These are not the same size, but they look the part and you might be able to find a movement with the correct size. Just look up the Seiko movements this works on and find out what size hands they used. Some of those movements may even be quartz. I wish this source was available at the time I Made the watches lol. These hands are luminous, however, none of the hands were for the show.
Hope this helps! Good luck in your endeavors!
Send me the RPF link if you don’t mind and I’ll hop on and see if I can answer any more burning questions!
Thanks!
Both shirts, the Fjallraven and the River Island shirt, do not exist in the same configuration as they appear in the show, off the rack.Correct me if I’m wrong, the t shirt was dyed so awesome that you guys found a close one but an accurate shirt off the rack doesn’t exist
Ok sorry I can see how this is confusingBoth shirts, the Fjallraven and the River Island shirt, do not exist in the same configuration as they appear in the show, off the rack.
You’ll have to get them modified.

I'm honestly not sure how much. I can't imagine that it was, Cynthia might have been mistaken - no offense to her, but the job was done by her breakdown artist.Ok sorry I can see how this is confusing
I meant this, the crossley shirt was dyed
Well done!!LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
I have been given approval to share this from the man who created the watch himself, Andrew Taylor.
I did make some followup emails, but here is the email I have the amazing privilege from the creator himself.
Source out and replicate my friends! Enjoy:
*I purchased the Miyota 2025 movement that the hands fit!!
*Note, the hands we see in the working watch appear to not have been sourced by AT, and were sourced by the prop department in Calgary - so those appear to still be unsourced - however, you might as well follow this guide provided, as it's truest to what was actually on screen from the man himself.
**ALSO, the crown is no longer used, so I’m waiting for confirmation and more info from him.
Is he willing to share pictures? Also in regards to hands that fit the Miyota 2025, which hands do you mean? The ones I found or ones from his list?LADIES AND GENTLEMEN

The ones from the list. Look at the measurement of that set of hands referenced, and compare to the 2025 movement requirements. They match.Is he willing to share pictures? Also in regards to hands that fit the Miyota 2025, which hands do you mean? The ones I found or ones from his list?
Did you ever dye your shirt?Rit actually has color formulas available on their site here
I’m leaning towards twilight blue night but it could be any number of the many many blues on there. I’m not doing this cosplay but I’m interested in seeing how it turns out, hope people post more pictures of what they’ve got so far soon
