Any watch aficionados know what Eddie was wearing tonight?

if you blow it up you can see the roman numerals and the blue hands, usually a tell tale sign of a cartier

Agreed, definitely looks like that one

Good investigative work. I love Cartier, definitely does not get enough love. Still can't figure out what his big green watch is.

I'd put good money on it being a.... Panerai Radiomir 1940's, with custom indices to make it resemble the Wrigley Scoreboard clock.  

Here's a relatively close-up pic I found of Tom Ricketts' watch, which looks to be VERY similar to the image posted.  The only reason I say it's a Radiomir (specifically the 1940's) is the flat-side crown, as opposed to the diamond/onion shape on the California or traditional Radiomir.



Here's a huge-res image of Eddie's peeking out of his shirt.  Looks like that's the ticket.



Wrigley Scoreboard clock, for reference!

oh I never noticed that.  awesome!  I have seen separate photos of the two of them and they are definitely wearing the same watch, I just figured it was a custom job of some sort.  the scoreboard clock makes complete sense.  perhaps a gift given to a few select people.  nice work!

Great work - that's definitely a sweet piece.

Well done!

I immediately thought Radiomir 1940's as well, or possibly Spinnaker, with a custom dial to recall the Wrigley clock. 

Here's an interesting link to a watch community that I am part of that has discussed EV 's watch: https://forums.watchuseek.com/f2/tracking-celebrities-what-watches-they-wearing-lets-keep-going-300966-153.html

They can buy, but can't put on my watches - Sorry just had to

We should get a PJ watch collab. Stickman on the dial or something would be cool.

If he's wearing a watch on his left hand does that mean he's left handed?

I'm right handed and have always worn my watch on my left hand. Which doesn't really mean anything to anyone but me, I guess

No, you usually wear on the opposite arm...so you can use the dominate hand for anything like watch winding...or using any other complications (Chrono), etc.  That is my take anyhow.

I did a autograph signing with Chris Chelios. And he complimented my Shinola watch. He added that he was gonna make sure Eddie got one too. Shinola does make a Green face watch that looks close.

really like those watches too, just a little out of my price range.

Look on eBay. I just got a $925 retail one for $345. Brand new in box

Watch out (pun intended) for fakes on eBay man.

Absolutely this. I would not trust that at a flea market and definitely not on Ebay.
I wear a Timex and love it.

Same and it keeps me from banging the watch on walls, doors etc. since you walk on the right side!  Nothing fancy here, I have an 80s Tag, and my everyday watch is a Seiko Sea Urchin. Got it in Japan and there is a bit of a cult following. Best $200 watch you can buy! Looks a lot like a submariner, but it is not.

There is always room for another Timex! Wearing the weekender now in fact.

I haven't worn a watch since the day my cellphone started keeping track.

How many methods of telling time do you people need on your body at any given time?

Flava don't need no watch

Hey, if Snoopy can be a big deal in the watch world, so can the stick guy!

Ok so, I've recently started wearing a watch. I've changed arms and I think it's easier to tell the time now.  Thank you.

Plenty of times where I feel like disconnecting from tech and just relying on a watch for time.

I had to read up on this.  i did not know that they added a 4th watch to the Omega/Apollo collection... A damn snoopy watch...  The only reason Snoopy is a thing is because of Omega and Apollo are in the same sentence...

Edit:  i wanted to add that I didn't know they made a 50th, lol.  I remember reading up on the 40th Aniv and wanting one back then.  I had bought a magazine on fine watches and was amazed at what people pay for them...  It is definitely something on your wrist that the average person has no idea what it is unless it's a Movado or Rolex as those stick out from anything else.

Timex has a pretty mean Snoopy collab too! But yes, the Omega snoopy is wild. The watch world is fun to watch from a distance and participate in at a small level.

I don’t know what makes the 50th Snoopy worth $25k in today’s market  but whatever. Speedmasters are too big for my wrist anyway.

Me too.  I just have a $30 timex ironman watch.  They last 5 years or so before I need a new one. But I feel naked if I don’t have a watch on.  As much as I use my phone, it’s my watch I rely on when I need to know the time. 

West Coast Dreamgirl

Casio watches are cool and retro @lastexitlondon ...my watch tells me no. of steps, heart rate and GPS. Not sure what I make of it but happy for it to just tell the time.

lastexitlondon

here it is. The £10 bad boy

West Coast Dreamgirl

Yeah definitely retro cool vibes. Apparently the heart rate monitor indicates I'm still alive which is something because I feel half dead right now.
