'Alien' lovers take note - this is a cool watch.

As an avid fan of movie watches I had taken a shine to this digi wonder some time ago - I own every version of Alien on Blu Ray and my history with this amazing movie goes back to when my best friend’s older brother got us into the screening of it back in the 70’s.

There has never been a movie since that has captured the horror of the unseen and begged for a re-watching at least twice a year. If you’ve never seen it, do it. You will soil your shorts.

The time had come to pick up this iconic reissue, the Casio A100WE, that Sigourney Weaver wore as Lt. Ripley (the T-100) albeit a super-modified, fused version that the props dept. had some fun with. It is the only watch I own that my wife and daughter both commented on the first time I wore it. It is certainly a fun one to wear. It was the first fully resin case back in the day but now treated with chrome plating (there is also a gunmetal and a gold version). The stock bracelet is a hair-pincher so I was able to wrestle, with some effort, this vintage rubber strap on the 18mm lug width, and I think it looks fantastic. The mode button beeps, the backlight works, and it is just a darn fun piece to wear.

And I thought that the watch from the movie Alien was the Seiko Giugiaro 7A28-7000🤣🤣🤣🤣

You are correct, sir, but for the second installment ‘Aliens’ 😎

Couldn’t imagine wearing it on my small wrists. Cool backstory though.

I’m a fan too. 😊

You can buy the bits to make it into the Ripley as worn, you can get a second one and put it at the bottom and have the date or second time zone etc, hardly noticeable! 😄 😄 😄

Fleabay link for the joiner.

Alien is one the best scifi/horror movie ever 👌

Aliens is great, and the 3th and 4th one are not that bad, even if people love bashing them.

Fun watch. I know you said fitting another strap was a problem but I think different coloured straps to match those coloured indices on the front of the case would look good

Probably detract from the movie homage though

It is a super-tight space in there but you're right, I could try to Swatch it up a bit!🍻
