I’m watching an episode of Good Eats, and I noticed Alton Brown is wearing a Rolex GMT Master II on a leather strap. He seems to have quite a collection of watches, as I’ve noticed different ones on several occasions.
Has anyone compiled a list of the watches he’s worn on the show?
No idea. I just love the geekiness of the question. I totally scope out every. freakin’. guitar. I ever see on TV. Oh, look, Hannah Montana’s playing a Gibson! It’s a sickness.
Yeah, it’s a sickness. And it’s not just watches. Sometimes I’ll see a particular airplane in an old movie and wonder where it is now – and try to find it. Or I’ll scan the background in a scene to see what cars are back there. Or… You get the idea.
FWIW, this particular watch had the ‘Pepsi’ bezel, which is blue and red. I opted for the back-and-red bezel because I liked it better, but I’ve always wanted one with the blue-and-red one.
Let’s start one! (I’m not a watch person but I’m an Alton person and a Googling person)
Hamilton Khaki
Tag Heuer, Rolex Submariner, Monaco, Panerai, IWC Aquatimer, Omega, Anonimo, Hamilton Jazzmaster, Scubapro titanium
Zenith Chronomaster (maybe)
Hamilton model 3828 with Automatic Chronograph traded for a Omega Seamaster Pro
Good start!
I can’t blame Alton for wanting a Seamaster Pro. I used to work with a guy who liked my GMT II and wanted to get a nice watch for himself. He got a Seamaster Pro, and it was very nice. I wanted one too.
No offense, but there’s an XKCD cartoon in here somewhere. Something about the union of the set of Alton Brown-loving food geeks and the set of watch nerds. Intersection: you. 
I noticed the GMT Master on the leather strap that Alton was wearing too. Does anyone know where to get a leather strap like that? I’ve tried googling it and can’t seem to find anything.
It’s funny because it’s true.
I haven’t looked for one. If you’re looking for that exact strap, it may be difficult. If you’re looking for a similar strap, I suspect that you can find one at most watch stores or by googling. (I know you said you googled, but I don’t know if you meant you couldn’t find the exact strap.)
CSL1: How about one of these?
You have to submit this to the GoodEatsFanPage.
Heh. I watched the first half of Godfather II today. N3254S is on a scene, so naturally I had to look it up. It’s currently in Eastern Washington, and is an an anachronism since it’s a '64 and the scene takes place in '58.
Man, I just can’t stomach it. He’s got his fingers in so many fruity pies, I can’t take him straight anymore. Expensive watches, dozens of pairs of glasses. I can’t even tell who he is anymore! Hawking grapejuice with homeopathic reason and pseudoscience must really pay well.
