The BIG Comlink Watch Thread!
Posted: Mon Sep 22, 2008 5:35 am
I had a question, but I figured I could turn this into a big thread for everything Comlink. Made one? Post it here. Got an unaltered watch? Post it here.
Okay so I managed to get hold of the correct AM Radio Watch that was used for Michael's comlink watch. It was $9.99, the guy had no idea it was the watch from KR (had it listed as 'Dick Tracy' style!) it was still boxed with headphones, although the orange fluffy bits on the headphones had completely disintegrated. Incedentally the guy was a real jerk, tried to stiff me on shipping etc, AND the one he sent me was not the one he had pictured; one in the picture was in better condition, this one had pen marks on the box etc. Also, the one he pictured had FULL manufacturer's info including address on a sticker on the box, this one didn't.
I actually got it a while ago, but lost it and only recently found it. There was one on eBay the other day which was VERY similar, a copy but the dial and round deco opposite were different. Wish I'd gotten it though, there are a couple of bits on mine that could do with being replaced.
I need now to alter the fascia, I know a lot of people on here have made up excellent versions, could anyone make me one? I'll only f*ck it up if I do it myself, plus I wouldn't have the faintest idea how!
For reference:
Brands:
According to 'Nerd Watch', the watch is a generic Hong Kong made LCD model sold under a variety of brand names (Nelsonic, Gala, Advance, Quasatron, etc.) Mine is a Gala as seen in the picture, only the screen is completely intact on mine:
