What Watch Does TC Wear?

#1 Post by Styles Bitchley »

Okay, so I know there's been a lot of research into Magnums watches and even Higgins' has been identified, but what about TC's? He's always wearing one and it's on the inside of his wrist - so it not seen very often.

Here are a few screen grab from Thicker Than Blood, where you can actually see the dial! Any guesses? I realize it's not a lot to go on....

Don’t think so. At least in this scene. The crown is clearly at 3:00, not 4:00.

6309 was a popular for Vietnam troops though. Would make sense.

I see what you're saying with the case size, which looks big and chunky like a turtle but, again, the crown is clearly at 3:00. And the bezel looks to be smooth, rather than a rotating dive watch timer... Also the hour indexes seem to be long and narrow, rather than the stubby squares they have on the Willard - or any of the 6105s.

I would say the SEIKO 6217-8001 but I don't know if they'd use that maybe a seiko mini turtle I believe they made those in the 80s
