Headless, smart advise❤
Nice review of a fantastic reissue! All proper chronograph movement so feature a jumping minute hand in the sub register. The modular ones don’t for example.
Why are we looking at your chest?
What happend to you?
Love this watch! Just bought it. Love the classic Moonwatch heritage paired with the slightly dressier/ upscale feel. It's definitely a keeper.
Fantastic video! I just purchased a blue dial 92 (A30022) and appreciated seeing yours. Still looking for some instruction on how to use the Telemetre scale slide rule to calculate distance based on light / sound. Have you figured this out? Thx!!!
It’s pronounced Jewel-ry. Not Jew-lery
I prefer the aesthetics of the Moonwatch, but the First Omega in Space is slimmer and I have a smaller wrist. I'd love to get one, but it's a tough choice.
Nice - you have all the right stuff. Maybe add a JLC or Cartier tank.
Apparently the omission of the 'Carrera' on the dial was Tag made aware that Porsche had exclusive rights to that at the time and weren't keen on any trouble with them .
Good video Like it so people know about it
The valjoux 7750 is a jump minute too
Good idea to add a humidity gauge and desiccant, I might do that too!
The speedy looks better on you than the smaller watches do in my opinion. I think you just need to get used to it because maybe you've been wearing small watches your entire life.
Nice im getting the firenza rust for my sub!
This was very helpful for me, the Bergeon is on the way, but a newer version. I was struggling like heck to remove a bracelet today, and in desperation and panic mode, I came across your video. I found an included freebie in my drawer that worked better than the other freebies, it just didn't occur to me that the tools differ.
Presenter could be a voice double for Willem Defoe, the actor!
When you travel with it, do you put it in a suitcase or carry it separately?
Another clever variation: ua-cam.com/video/jz4JTkcTlCw/v-deo.html.
Was looking to do something similar. Glad to have found this. Why crown-side up?
A bit late here lol but what are some good auction websites
Beautiful watch and your comments are on point! 🙌🏻👍🏻
That’s a lovely Professional you have there and a great watch with which to compare the FOiS, which commemorates another important milestone for these moon- and space-related Speedmasters. I didn’t like the standard leather strap as supplied on the FOiS, so would go with the recent reissue of the old S/S mesh JB Champion/Forster Komfit, which I think gives the whole a very nice, early aesthetic. The original was NASA-approved for space flight too. Your review was also very well presented and easy on the ear, so I’ve hit all the appropriate buttons. Thanks.
New vid when
I found your comments very informative. I have been wearing my Navitimer on a daily basis since purchasing it in 1966, following your mention about the radioactive material used on the face I did a quick check and I have not grown a second head as far as I can see, I am now 75 do you think I should be taking any precautions ?
Just get a Seiko SKX013 and you’ll be happy. I love mine to bits.
i know they are diffierent size but are they wear the same?
what do you think about omega geneve from 1970. I would buy one black color. This is my first vintage watch. Thanks
Thisbis great idea , I just wondering the pluck n' pull foam can cause any scratch on stainless bezel or bracelet
Ever get an answer?
Anyone can price an Enicar 2215 pocket watch?
superb watch and super bracelet .. The French watch brand Yema rallye have the same bracelets…
I would love you to make a video @ phyllisbag.com , they are the best out there when it comes to replicas, they make them basically 1:1 but are fairly cheaper than the original!15
Totally agree with u all ...
It is impossible for me to watch this and not be convinced that this is; in fact, Willem Dafoe pretending to be a normal guy on UA-cam...
That Omega you refer to is caliber 2500, a deep modification of 2892-2. But Omega since several years ago produces the 8500 and 9300 series, which are not a modification of another caliber.
I like to wear slightly undersized natos on watches with 20 or 22mm lug widths. So an 18mm strap on a 20mm or a 20mm on a 22mm lug. have a 6.5” wrist. I feel the narrower strap makes the watch look like it fits better. People don’t like that Connery “Bond fit” but I like it.
145.022 is 42mm, right and FOIS is 40mm? They look the same here
What's your take on the CS3140? I am not sure if I should get it but the price at $4600 seems to be ok?
stop moving the watch JFC
This days men wear wall clock on their wrist suffering from inferiority
I don’t wear watches that are too big but I got nothing against people who wear giant watches. If that’s what they like, good for them.
@@dsbiddle at one point in life you have to be courageous to say what you like and what you hate. One should try to rejoice everyone no you can not even if you try
What is your wrist watch on your hand?
Really nice collection, good size for a collection with a mix of Chrono's and Time only watches. No bracelets or divers in the Lot, kinda reminds me of my own collection with mine being a bit larger and a few divers added. I do love Chronographs
Good insight, appreciate the information. Hmmh🤔..same engine, different coach-work! Histories aside, the FOIS has the correct aesthetic, fit and finish - not to mention complements contents of my wardrobe by offering sartorial congruence ... matches collar and cuff-links! Take a pick, both work best with straps, the bracelets naff, unless you opt for the new 3861 variant bracelet on sapphire option - that's hot!
Yes a $5000 watch is worth $5000 even if the movement only cost $500 because watches aren’t just about the movements.
Movement is the most important part of a watch. It being shiny is not. That is a fact. Same as the bones of a house is far more important than the finishing.
Omegas ‘in house’ movements are designed and assembled in an omega factory however the parts are made by various swatch group companies such as ETA, does this make them any less in house? Not really.
Headless presenter, odd.
Good video.
I REALLY like the video and the Grand Seiko: could you tell me, please, the ref. of the one in the video? Thanks
44mm Casio Duro here only watch I can afford
