Yeah. I just took a quick peek and I saw the one that you are talking about, which is the same exact model as yours. I also saw one that was very similar to your watch, however not the same. It had a silver stretch band, and is under the name "1970s Timex Electric". It has some large closeup shots like the one you found and is in just as bad of condition. I think I'm going to wait until I find one in better condition.

I've just finished the latest season and whenever I watch Dexter I've always wondered what watch he's wearing. This solves the mystery but somehow I feel there was more to it

Going off topic, I believe Maria wears a Cartier, Quinn wears a gold Rolex, Angel a Ventura, and Deb wears a G-shock of some sort. My favorite dialog comes in season five, when Dexter said "oh nice watch." to which the other party responded (not to spoil anything) "Thanks, it's water resistant to 100 meters, don't know why I would ever need that." I don't believe we ever saw his watch up close though.

AlienIvan, sent you a PM.

To all Dexter Fan...i was wrong about the Real Dexter watch. It is not a Timex Electronic 1973. After reviewing other pictures that surface on the internet, the writing on the face of the watch do not say Timex. Cannot say more then that at this point other then to post the picture that show it's not my Timex. :-s
Other who reply to pointed out that my Timex had hour and minute hand that had black line and that the one of Dexter only had portion of black marker on the hand. that also turn out to be right.
Will continue my quest and kept you posted Dexter fan

That watch has been driving me crazy for years! I LOVE that show, have watched every episode, and I ALWAYS try and get a good shot of his watch. I've even used my DVR to pause it during a semi-wrist shot, and I've not been able to identify it. My best guess was that it was a vintage Omega of some sort, but that Timex does indeed look close...There's gotta be a way to find out what it is for sure.

On a more chilling note, Jennifer Carpenter is the freaky lady in the movie "The exorcis of Amelie Rose".....note so hot in that one.

On the Dexter side, you can actualy see the father of Dexter wearing the watch in many episode when they do the flash back.

She's also in Quarantine and does a pretty damn good job in it. Dexter is fantastic although the last season was a bit....lacking.

Re: Real Dexter Writwatch discover

I'm only just about through with season 2. I'm dawdling now, to be honest, because I don't want to finish it. Only seasons 1 and 2 are streaming on Netflix.

 

[mgsimmer]

Dexter is an awesome show! Thanks for tracking down that watch...brings back memories.

 

[crazyfingers]

LOVE that show! I too, like some others, thought he wore a vintage Omega.

Never would have guessed, but very fitting.

Yeah. I had the suspicion that there was more to it too. I saw this picture recently as well, before having seen your post with the picture. I don't know of any Timexes that have that much writing on the face, so I think we've hit a dead end with Timex. It would be extremely helpful if anyone who has any idea at all what brand his watch could be would join the thread!

Edit: I'd also like to point out that it appears that his watch has black stripes on the hour markers, and more of a stainless silver appearance to all of the silver on the watch in general.

Someone here needs to go to Comic-Con and ask Michael C. Hall what make and model this watch is... The curiosity is killing me...

Re: Real Dexter Writwatch discover

Cripes! How much does that Timex look like my Omega F300hz? (c1972). The case, domed plexi, even the dial to a degree

Thanks for posted this topic, huge Dexter fan right here :-!

Thumbs up for those cufflinks !

Re: Real Dexter Writwatch discover

Good day to all Dexter fan, it is been a while since i kept that information regarding the Real Dexter watch. After much thinking and believing that it is only fair for the person who realy found the real Dexter watch to be known. I decided to annonce that the Real Dexter Watch was discover some time ago by a member of this forum call the "Dark Passenger".

He is the most devoted Dexter fan there is and work very hard to find out what was the Real Dexter watch.

Thanks to him (and him only) we now know it is a.........Vintage 1960's WALTHAM SelfWinding 25 Jewels. (Also known as a Physician watch).

It is NOW time that the 'Dark Passenger' can honestly claim his title as the one and only who realy found the Real Dexter Watch. Congratulation DARK PASSENGER!

By respect for him i will not post a picture of his personal watch. But given the fact that you all know now what is the Real Dexter watch i will leave to all of you the fun the find picture of that watch.

If for some reason some of you would doubt this claim....well i was ready to accept the fact that my Timex was not the one, so beleive me the facts are right this time.

Re: Real Dexter Writwatch discover

Thanks a lot for the kind words Ivan, I really appreciate it. If not for a contact I have in the wardrobe department, I would have never found out myself. She kindly told me the brand name and the rest fell into place by searching Google for a few hours for a single image I could find.

I PMed AlienIvan (post #4, page 2) to tell him the watch info so no one else would spend their money on the wrong watch. I also wanted the info kept private off the boards to avoid price inflation and hoarding. Not sure if anyone here knows of the Alysa "Ice Truck Killer" Doll, but after the discovery of what the real doll was, the price skyrocketed. There were people buying them all up low and selling way high.

For any Dexter fans interested, here is a video of my Dexter Collection. Hope you all enjoy the video, and thanks again AlienIvan. Good luck in your watch searches everyone.

Dark Passenger, if I run into you again on the internet I'm going to be convinced that Dexter is a higher power.

Re: Real Dexter Writwatch discover

Just an interesting note about Dexter...I am at Comic-Con, and was at the farewell Dexter panel. Someone asked the cast what did they keep from the set as a memento, and Michael C. Hall said the only thing he kept was Dexter's watch since it was the one constant for him in every episode!

There were 6,500 people there and 100 people in line with questions, so didn't have the chance.

Besides, it's hard to understand me when I'm wearing a wookie mask b-)
