A metal Gallifreyan FOB watch in three easy steps:
STEP 1: buy Character Options toy watch
STEP 2: buy real FOB watch with no markins/engravings on cover
STEP 3: have the patterns on the toy watch engraved onto the metal FOB watch by a jeweler or engraver.
TA-DA! |

^ I was about to bring this up!
Totally by chance today, I was at my local Dollar General store. I passed an aisle and hanging there was for $8 was a silvery, yes silvery FOB watch. It looks like the HN/FOB watch!
Totally bare no designs on it. Perfect!
It's a bit shiny and new, but there's a spray that can dull metal surfaces and an electric etcher, approximate the designs or Hell make up my own!
Totally by chance and wonderfully unexpected. Do I wanna get the CO version? You bet! But that one I found was sweet too!!!

Very cool find Dave, wish it was avilable. Fully configurable Fob watch, give me some of that.
Here is the design page as well-

Wow!
That reminds me of the Doctor's fob watch in Survival.
Now an MP3 player in a fob watch casing would be damn cool too!

The real deal.
I spent the past 9 months getting this thing right.
This will be as close to the actual prop as you're going to get.

Thank you for the great welcome! It is nice to be here.
Just a quick note: the actual size of the prop watch is around 50mm. You can see side by side comparisons on my website.
(The concept art is inaccurate: an 8cm diameter would put the watch at over 4 inches diameter! Also, the finished watch differs from the concept art drastically!) |

Thank you Ken, I have just done this.
In regards to dealer inquiries etc, I must point out that I am unlicenced and the BBC do not like me hence why I operate semi-clandestine. It is a long story but basically I tried to obtain a licence but they refused without even considering my application.
I would dearly love to get more exposure for my products but at the same time I do not want to get the JumpCon organisers in trouble nor do I want to compromise my own anonymity. |
