Thank you kindly 😊😊

Well said sir I doff my non existent cap to you, San Martins watches are fantastic, not fantastic for the price, just fantastic overall 👍

Masturbation?

@@omar10213245LOL “running off a batch!” 😅

golly... that escalated quickly 😂😂

@@Mike.thiswatchthatwatch lol!

Thanks 😊😊

The Constellation is the Omega of choice for gentlemen in their 70s, with some disposable income and fond memories of the 1980’s.

It’s too late imo. The integrated watch hype has already peaked. Maybe they can cannibalize some of the Ingenieur sales from IWC if they price it lower but that still has the Genta heritage to compete with.

Yup. Nobody noticed that Omega had an integrated sports watch... 😊😊

What you don't get is that the Constellation has been the single most popular range for Omega in Asia since its inception in 1952. The brand name held great prestige and was truly THE aspirational one, long before Rolex even became a thing. I should know; both my great grandfather and my grandfather, extremely successful men, owned and proudly wore their Constellations, even though they also owned other watches from the Trinity. Those Constellations continue to work perfectly, and are treasured and shared by the four men of the family of my generation. The Constellation was also extremely popular among the ladies. It was almost de riguer to gift a Constellation to a bride-to-be. My mother wore hers for many years till it was stolen..... In the Asian market, the Constellation has been Omega, pretty much. And this was decades before either the Speedmaster or the Seamaster became popular. The integrated bracelet model, with the signature "claws", originally known as the Manhattan, was introduced in 1982 and has been one of the mainstays of Omega in Asia since it was first introduced. It might not be obvious from a Euro- or US- centric perspective, but think about this: as far as you know, practically nobody in those markets buys a Constellation. Yet Omega has not only chosen to go on making and selling them, but also periodically update and redesign them. Would that make sense unless it has been selling somewhere?

@kfmathew Fair point. I was aware that the constellation was popular in Asia - but not aware of it’s historical popularity. Thanks for enlightening me. 😀

Good to know - thanks for sharing 😀😀

Thank you sir 😊

thank you sooo much 😊😊😊

My favorite grail watch... ❤️

Will try 😊😊

exactly the same with me

Thrilled to hear it 😊😊

Glad you found the video worth your time 😃

Yeah... I'm not that harsh on replica and homage brands. It doesn't bother me in the slightest - as long as it's not being passed off as the "real deal". I understand the argument that people should support brands that make original designs and I do think that should be the majority, but if you can go to H&M and buy what is ostensibly a replica of a haute couture design, then I don't see why you can't spend money on an homage if you want to.

Should be out in 1-2 weeks time. Stay tuned 😊😊

It’s a bit small when you put it on (unless you have small wrists, then it’s cool).

Tried one on once and had the same thought. It will likely be my first Omega. I've tried on an Aqua Terras and a Railmaster and for some reason nothing hit like the Globemaster.

Globemaster Annual calendar for me... 😊😊

True on Asia and the constellation. Was not aware of the Russian angle for the watches you mentioned. It’s been a while since I last was in Russia but come to think of it - whenever I’ve been abroad and stumbled into russians (ie in dubai),, it has struck me that at least the wealthy russians seemed to have a different taste in watches - UN definitely being more common than I would have expected. Thanks for sharing 😀

Thank you kindly! 😃

Glad you enjoy it! 😃

Good question. I have a video coming about San Martin watches in general (no specific model). The C63 has a better movement. The QC is better. The warranty is better. The design is original whereas most San Martins are replicas/homages. The originality definitely has a value that is hard to quantify. If you boil it down to pure specs and build quality, then 3x is probably steep, but it is that originality and the intangibles that make a difference 😊😊

There's Just One More Watch for that, that Aussie all about Ali watches

I have a video coming on San Martin - not a review, but more about the manufacturer in general... 😊

@@Mike.thiswatchthatwatch Awesome! They fascinate me. Looking forward!

Thanks for the visit 😊

There’s a recent video on his channel where he discusses his watches. I’m not sure if he mentioned his entire collection but it is still a great video.

Some people have a very hard time with Homage brands. I just don't. I do feel those that do original designs deserve "more" of our money, but as long as it doesn't say Rolex on the dial - then I'm fine with people spending money on an homage 😊

Thanks - Trying to get better all the time. It's hard work but fun though 😊😊

Noted 😊

lol 😂😂 Thanks 😊

Thank you - I would love to, but those seven minutes I spent with it at watches and wonders doesn't quite feel like enough for me to make an authoritative review. It's a very cool watch though... 😊😊😊

Glad you enjoyed it! 😊

true. I like to say that skeletons are for those people that already have their "base warddrobe" in place 😊😊 The skeleton is the statement pink shirt with flamingos on it 😀

thanks for the feedback 😊

I'm not sure Bremont are looking forward to it 😉

@@Mike.thiswatchthatwatch 🤣🤣🤣

true 😊

I can't believe that's actually cheaper than the Constellation he featured. An incredible watch. Congratulations.

Interesting topic. That might be a whole video idea you gave me there.... 😊

@@Mike.thiswatchthatwatch I'd look forward to it. My personal curiosity was piqued in the relatively benign sector of inexpensive motorsports themed watches (not the Daytona/MilleMiglia/Monaco tier, the tier defined by my $100 quartz watch from carwatchguys that has a dial just like the wheels of my Alfa Giulia, right down to the yellow brake calipers).

I actually did a video on it, as one of my very first uploads. Since then I ended up buying it (on the nato, because I dislike the mesh bracelet).... 😊😊😊

@@Mike.thiswatchthatwatch so this means approved by Mike ❤️❤️❤️. Hope we dont see in future regret video because i have it and im loving it 😂

Glad to hear it 😊😊

Thanks for sharing - Realy interesting to hear. I'll have to ask at the ad if I can try it with another strap, because my mind so clearly sees it as a dress watch 😊😊

Kith? 1.500 dollars. I hate the pricing. I dislike them intensely. At moonswatch pricing I would likely like them. Nostalgia is fine. 1.500 is bananas 😊😊
