Help me find my dream wrist watch!

I want the watch that Sam Rockwell wears in the movie "Moon." Someone else was wondering too, but I didn't see any responses. Any help??

There were responses (look up at the top of the page - not intuitive)... and one post in particular that might help.

Hit post too soon...it's not the one from the movie, as the poster says, but it might be a good starting point. Also possible the watch in the movie was a prop.

I did some looking and the costume designer for the movie was Jane Petrie. She has a blog, so it probably would be easy to write her an e-mail and ask her for details for the watch. When and if you get it please feel free to write an update. The blog is http://costumedetail.blogspot.com/

The diretor of the movie duncan jones has a twitter and seems to enjoy interacting with his audience. You could try asking him there.

Looks like a Diesel. Vintage 2006 or thereabouts.

Best answer: "Looks like a Diesel."
Maybe the one one the right?

Response by poster: Well, done! I think it was the Diesel. Now to track that down and to see if it's not crazy expensive...

I don't know the watch, but Tokyoflash might be a good place to start.
