THANKS!!!!!! :D ...

o.o...humm...may I ask, why do you prefer the manga one?..just a question o.o..

Yeah, I was always confused on that too.

You're welcome x3
errm why?
I LOVE the anime yeah <3
but i LOVE even more the manga story haha :3

there another aspect of the three versions of the cosplay watches : The version that has the date 3.oct.10 is the same that edward has in the anime series(I mean in the side of the numbers the watch has only the romanic or roman -I dont know how it says n.nU- numbers, and in the wacth of the manga series this has the numbers and also a gray symbol.There is another version of the cosplay watch that has a red symbol, and no date. I dont know if in the manga series the watch has that gray symbol...

does anyone who has seen the manga know if the watch has that gray symbol with the numbers?? please .. I wanna know...... cause I wanna buy that watch but only if it is like in the manga. Please!

Please do not post more than once at a time. If you need to add something, use the edit button.

i doubt that Ed's watch in the manga does. the gray symbol is the Flamel, which seems to be used so far by the Elrics, Dante, and Izumi. the watch is issued by the military, which has nothing to do with the Flamel symbol. i'd personally go with the one on the far right, since it looks like it's the highest quality one among the three.

ok..thanks !!

Any watch with the 11 appearing twice is a knock off, like that one with a superscript eleven.

Bad!

Number 3 is the most correct one but it looks like someone wrote in it instead of Inscribing with lets say a knife. The episode where Winry looks at Ed's pocket watch was on Tuesday night on Adult Swim.

yeah, that is definitely true. I

I wouldn't care about the date (they're both right), as long as it's a good watch.

The second in my opinion is thr real watch you should buy. The first one looks like a fake with the lines on it. Go with the second pocket watch.

I think you should go to ebay search Fullmetal alchemist watch there should be a lot of items like this it comes with a neclese thingy i bought one and i have never regreted it

witch one do you like more anime manga and chose acordingly

dude those watches are so cool. I've seen them before but close up......I want one now

thats the day when ed and al burned down they're home, and left to try to restore their mother.

well, the one you have is a bad version, in the manga its engraved, and it doesnt have 1 quotation mark. and its missing the second dial in the watch

Screwed up the merge much. Whoopsiedoodle.

In the manga the 11 one should be correct, Ed took about a year for automail rehab and state certification, but I can personally say that the 10 ones are in better condition, there shouldn't be any "s and they are generally better made...I have one, I would know. ;D

Hey Everybody, I'm new to the forum I couldn't help but noticing which watch was true to the anime or the manga. But this one I just recently bought on E-bay seems to match the one closely on in the anime itself. The link for the Ebay auction is here. Unfortunately, I paid for it last night, but I'm sure he'll put out some more.

I bought mine about 5 days ago, waiting for it to arrive in the mail ^^

Gah, i want one of those sooo bad. I can only find the manga ones (with the 11). Does anyone know where i can find one with the year as 10?

The cheapest i can find is on ebay, $25 shipped. Thats a bit much considering i can get the "manga" ones for less than $15 shipped. If anyone knows any better deals, i'd appreciate it, thanks!

Hmm... I suppose this is slightly off-topic, but pardon me for being a total Winry here... How do you open up the watch? Like to change batteries and stuff? Mine's something like Ed-Elric's first picture. And the back is blank and sealed tightly. >.<

I bought one last night! I think it might say Oct 11 though.

@Menelvir - I don't have one, so I'm just guessing, but around the side where the front half and the back half meet, do you see some indented/slit area where you can apply an edge of a coin, or a knife, or something, then twist the coin or knife or whatever, to ply/wedge open the watch?

@snorlax422 - Yeah, FMA manga and FMA anime got different dates (one day year difference,) so technically, both are correct, I think.

ETA: Oops, actually Menelvir with the post below is correct. Not one day, but one year difference. Thanks for catching it, Menelvir!!

Thanks Tombow! By the way, I did manage to get it open in the end. My mistake was trying to pry it open using my nails. That's why the little gap between the front and the back wouldn't budge, after I hunted around for my dad's little screwdriver (those you use for spectacles or watches), I managed to get it open. Should have thought of that earlier...



Actually, they're a year apart, not a day. I think FMA follows the English date system (day/month/year), since it's set in early 20th century Europe. So the date in the watch will be the 3rd of October 1910 or 1911, depends on whether you're following the anime or the manga. =)

don't forget 3 oct 10 is the day they burned their house down oops nvm. question already answered

Guys I got one today they are being sold at a store in a Californian mall called "Toon Town" the mall is called Stonewood. But the problem with it is in the back it has a little engraving that says "FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST" it isn't that big but still also it comes with a little necklace its cheap metal but still pretty cool. The watch is based on the manga version though and says "Don't forget 3. Oct. 11".... just trying to help people out who are in the area

EDIT: :s I realized how old this topic is.... lol sorry for bumping :S
