Quite a movie -

[NutmegCT]

Kon-Tiki 2012.

I remember the 1950 documentary, and really enjoyed this re-telling.

I read the book way back in junior high school.

I remember the original documentary too. Will have to check this one out.

Yes a great movie, great story! I saw it a few years ago. If I recall correctly, it was honest and not too “Hollywood”?

I grew up loving Kon Tiki, it's quite the adventure, even if the theory was seriously flawed. I have the book, the original documentary, the movie, and the watch. Eterna claims to have provided watches to the crew of the Kon Tiki to test during their voyage. I also owned a modern Kon-Tiki but at 45 mm it always felt too large to me, as I always wear old watches. It was beautiful though.

Not as cool as your Kon Tiki but my ’69
Seiko looks very similar.

I remember watching a documentary on it while I was off work.
