Reply With QuoteVery good spot Mike!
They won't last long at 500 pieces each - I could wear any of those as well!
Just looking on Ebay and i see these new models, limited pieces of the old Giugario design and in the funky colours. £300 on Ebay.

Not a fan.
In regards to comfort this does not make much sense (unless you are left-handed) !!
If the case had been offset to the left instead this watch might have been an improvement as to comfort - but offset to the right it will only scuff the back of your hand even more than an ordinary watch !!
This is what happens when you let "designers" loose on something that has a practical use as well !! :-/
I have never had an issue with a watch catching my wrist/hand. Suppose it depends how close to your hand it is.
I wear watches on the right so this should be fine for me anyway.
Pretty sure Bishop also wore his on his right wrist...

I think you are correct..
I managed to get one SCED003. Interesting piece. I like it a lot, but it is understandable that this design is not for everyone's taste.
And some live photos of other models:
I have worn this piece nonstop for 2 weeks, and case placement is no problem at all. You don't have to be lefty to wear this watch comfortably.
Some dive and flieger watches with big crown are much more uncomfortable to wear and crown digs into the wrist.

The thought of a chocolate teapot came to my mind
There's a vintage one going for £999. Incredible!

I hadn't spotted Ripley wearing this; is it in one or all of the Alien films? Or none at all?!
Nope just in,"Aliens",there's also a Seiko M726 Scubamaster for £550!

Ripley wore silver version:
I like it a lot, but too bad I have no more money to spend on watches for a while.
Can anyone confirm which movement this uses? I like it a lot.....
Quartz 7T12
The black chrome version you linked wasn't actually worn in the Aliens movie at all. Ripley wore the silver version:

The asking price on that 7A28-7000 black Aliens offered by a UK eBay seller, that you linked, is just a 'tad' optimistic.
About double the going rate. If you want to see what prices they normally sell for check out this thread on my forum:

Now if you want to see a REALLY silly asking price for a 7A28-6000 Bishop, there was this one (yet to be re-listed):

These are sooo cool!
Yellow one... SCED005
And green SCED007
Congratulations.
Seems véry good vfm imo!
It looks surprisingly modern and makes for a wellcome change of the thirteen a dozen luxury chronos adopted by the fashionable girls.
The proper pushers may be a bit cumbersome when worn on the left wrist but for timing they sure are more practical that the customary too small mainly ornamental things.
I'd love the blue one. I might have to think about it.....
So are you going for the set ?
Excellent!
A Gerber MKII, Lance Henriksen and a Seiko - whats not to like.
No... it would be too expensive. And I don't like them all.
I have sold yellow one.
Green will be in daily rotation.
And red for special occasions and possible future resale with profit.
No Rolexisms please ;-)
Just kidding
But it's nice to know for a change that should I wish to sell I will be able to sell the watch for more than I paid. It is unusual thing with nowadays watches (except Rolex)
Proof that he was up to no good!

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
Woah. Spoliers? Some of us haven't seen the film**
**All I ever needed to know about films, I learned from watchesinmovies.com. Probably.
