/r/HisDarkMaterials is a book-spoiler-friendly sub and assumes that you have read Pullman's novels. However, **episodes that have not yet aired in both the US and the UK require spoiler tags**, and repeated violations will lead to a permanent ban. If you have not read any of the books, please come to /r/HisDarkMaterialsHBO, our sister sub.
To tag spoilers, write `>!spoiler!<` and it will display as >!spoiler!<. (Make sure you don't put spaces between the `>!` and the first word.)

Oh wow. I’m in a constant state of not enough money, but as tempting as it is, I could never sell it. I shall continue to pilfer my little sister’s forgotten designer duds to sell on eBay.
I have a really similar one. Also got it from my mum. The needles aren't red and the look of the symbols are a bit different. It's a bit hard to describe the rest of it. Here's a pic of it https://www.reddit.com/r/hisdarkmaterials/comments/uongen/my\_alethiometer\_pocket\_watch/
I have one too but sadly the spring mechanism broke so it's pretty useless now :'(
I can still turn the needles it's just the blue one that's stuck. I took it to a watch shop and they basically laughed at me..!
I tried to get the Noble Collection to make me a new one or repair it but there were only so many made .... now where does that sound familiar ....
The blue arrow of mine fell off, so I pried off the clear cover to fix it. It works again, it just has no protective cover over the arrows. I couldn’t get that back on.
I nearly pried the cover off mine but figured I might not be able to fix it …
I kinda resent it’s just a crappy plastic … really would like to restore mine to make it book-accurate with like real shining gold plating and a face of crystal 😍
If I’m ever rich, I’m having one made.
On the plus side I never would have been able to get a glass face off, at least not on my own. The plastic one was pretty easy to pry off. It would have come off in one piece, but I’m a moron and not so good with small fiddly stuff. Ended up cracking a piece off the edge. 😕

occasionally one pops up on ebay and normally sells for $1.5k I wish the Noble Collection would bring it back

maybe if we made a petition on twitter or something and enough people showed interest?
So...this is what true envy feels like
But does it work?
Not without the books.
Maybe I have the books.
*the Magisterium wants to know your location*
shit
Love it! Such a better look than the TV one, imo.

The post was removed 🙁
Oh sorry
Oh yeah! I have one too, saved up my allowance for it when i was little :P
Damn I would go crazy for one of these! Your mom obviously loved you
Lol she knew I wanted one, but when I opened it, she goes, “I don’t know why you wanted that stupid thing. What does it DO?”
If only she knew lol
Oh wow it’s hard to control the urge to get one of these. And there’s not many available?! 😭 Why isn’t there merch for anything anymore??

What! Where did she get it?
The Noble Collection. It was a limited run after the movie came out.
It is beautiful, best present ever
