Watches In Miami Vice...

[Craytonic]

Anyone else see this movie? Not great, but not bad.

Funny the ridiculous things they have for cops though - drive a ferrari, etc.

Definitely some nice shots of the IWC GST Ti band though.

I'm off for vacation for the next to weeks, see ya'll later

The original crocket wore a gold president.

Tubs wore the GST in the new Movie. I definately spotted that clasp a few times. They show a dead on "money maker" shot towards the end.

Movie was well, different. Don't go in expecting something like Bad Boys 2. It was slow at points but very realistic and interesting at others.

During the movie I found myself bored a few times but the more I think back I actually liked the film

Cheers,

Oh and I don't care if the Ferrari was ridiculous it was absolutely cool!

[TomBombadil]

Actually, it is not the GST that you saw. It was the Acquatimer split chrono. He also wears the Portuguese Chrono-Automatic during the day.

Also, for the die-hard fans, there is a limited edition Miami Vice Port Chrono being released by IWC limited to 50 pieces.

[Craytonic]

That makes sense. They actually do TWO 5 second money shots on the IWC clasp. I incorrectly assumed it was the GST. I coudn't spot the release on the clasp during either money shot. perhaps they are different?

Yeah, in the 1st season... until he changed to Ebel 1911 TT Chronograph for the rest of the series.

The clasp is the same on all IWC Titanium watches, from what I can see. Best strap engineering design in the business, by the way.

There's a shot at the end of Colin Farrell with a VC jubilee, white gold, i believe

IWC releasing a limited edition of the Portugieser Miami Vice?I was wondering how much longer would it take to IWC to go down the Rolex path...well, here it is...

[Watchmeister]

I don't know which is worse - Miami Vice IWC or Slytech PAM. Although I do have to say that I saw one of The JayZ AP's on him and it was almost tasteful - diamonds and all.

[JWR]

I think the limited edition is just black with white subdials ala the movie... as it's not offered normally.

Supposedly in the Reagan-era 80's the government OK'd seizing property of drug dealers and using the proceeds to fight crime. That was the inspiration behind Miami Vice, the idea that undercover cops would take contraband and use it to more realistically pose as drug dealers and gangsters. Neat concept I guess, although I would have liked to be in the room when Crockett was convincing his chief that he really NEEDED that Gold President to pull off being a wholesale porn buyer (Episode 2).

Also, if a drug kingpin's ultra-rare, ultra expensive Daytona Spyder got nabbed by the feds, how could no criminal in Miami notice that the identical car was being driven around by Don Johnson's character? If you stole Suge Knight's tricked-out Hummer and drove it around LA clubs claiming to be a big-time gangster and record producer, would it even take a week before you were gunned down?
