Since Im a Die Hard

Magnum P.I. fan , I wear the red Jungle Bird shirt he made famous and
I need to look for a Pepsi GMT that he wore If I can sell off some of my watches...The Ferrari will take more time...alot more time.
Somewhere I read he wore a Sub but I never saw it in any of the shows.
I have seen all I think. Anybody ever spot a Sub on Selleck?

I've seen most of the Magnum PI episodes and have never spotted a Sub. He initially wore a Chronosport dive watch and then the first episode of Season Four (Home from the Sea) introduced the Pepsi GMT. Tom Selleck also wears the Pepsi GMT in the Jesse Stone TV movies that he's done over the last few years. Great guy, great actor, and Magnum is one of the best TV shows ever

Wow, Bama, that's a rather detailed knowledge of the show. Magnum is a tv classic.

I rather liked the Jesse Stone material. I think I saw one. I liked it because they allowed the character to be a little bit "dark."

There was also some semi-ridiculous cowboy thing that Selleck did that he was really terrific in. He brings a nice quality to his later work.

I remember in the first seasons shows the watch was a divers watch with a Tropic style strap.

I'm impressed that you guys remember the 80's. I'm still in a bit of a fog.
