The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

So I am working on the Bishop replica for this year's fan table. Since the real thing ranges from 700-1000.00 does anyone know of a close/cheaper alternative? I know any black watch as no one will notice but I will and want to get close.

Thanks!

Depending "how close" and "how cheap" you want to go, here are some choices I thought looked so-so (none of them are an exact match). I've purchased from this website myself (bought a knockoff Omega Speedmaster for my astronaut suit), and it is legitimate. Arrived in four days via EMS.

http://www.miniinthebox.com/men-s-round ... 64507.html

http://www.miniinthebox.com/men-s-round ... 57511.html

http://www.miniinthebox.com/men-s-sport ... 68513.html

These range from cheap to really cheap. :wink:


One caveat- The Speedmaster watch I bought works... so long as I wind it daily. Otherwise it stops after a day or so.

It will be built just looking for a good base to work from.
Thanks!

I made a graphic of the top ring numbers already.

Could make you a 3d print watch body to start with.

Like a dumbass I left the watch in Georgia. I will be picking it up in a couple weeks. Here is what is being used. This is the auction I won.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/261129703256?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

It has the 3 dials and was cheap. I will pop off the glass and modify it than offset it with a new band/base. More pics as soon as I get it. Matt I will need your print out.

Thanks!

Greg
