Love the intro! 😄👍🏻 Thanks for putting this together. I haven’t seen “Maverick” yet and will keep an eye open for the watch for sure!

Omg !! Looooove the video, love the watch. This is the best watch content on KZfaq I swear. Thank you for the effort.

I have one of the originals and absolutely love it. Wears beautifully and is so clear to read.

Very nice review and a lot of back story on the history of the watch and PD. Thanks for your vid.

Brilliant video, especially the intro. Took my breath away. I’ve now found myself in a loving feeling for Porsches. Really looking forward to owning a watch from Top Gun without having to put my budget in the danger zone. I still wonder what Iceman’s watch was in the original.

Nicely done! I was very confused with all the different variants or derivatives of this design. Thanks for the clarity in the end, it all makes sense now. PVD tends to chip off rather easily; to your point it adds character but the one you have looks absolutely pristine after all these years!

This was a great review and great work, Max! Fulfilled some great nostalgia too!

Great video and very cool, distinctive watch. Tom Cruise's attention to detail wanting the original watch is quite a statement and a small reason why he is among the elite actors in Hollywood.

Yeah regret not picking one of these up when I had the chance. They are already going for ridiculous prices now. That's a nice one Max - it's in incredible shape.

Great video, i like a lot This chrono, atemporal, beauty, technical… PD Watches were fantastic, specially un the IWC colaboration era.

@WatchCrunch team, Congratz on getting to 30K Subs!! (At the time of my view, the channel is at 29.9 but I’m fully confident you’ll be at 30 in no time!) Thanks for this insight and hope you have continued success.

Thanks for the vid! Excellent content my friend, you covered a lot and I learned a thing or 2 (or 3!) 😁

Great video! The PD is a long time favorite of mine. I have a Sinn 144 in my collection and love the 70/80’s vibe of the watch.

Really great edits there Max! Loved this episode

Love the intro to this video Max!!!!!

Great video Max, thanks.

Nice intro! and overall video too 👍🏻

Good video. I did not know much about this watch as I am fairly new to watch collecting. Great upload.

Oh man! I had that very exact LeJour in my cart awhile back! Kicking myself that I didn't actually purchase it. Such a cool watch. Back to the "goose" chase! lol

Love the subject and loved the presentation.

No negatively in reporting is something that's really missing today. Excellent video bud! Oh yeah, beautiful watch too!

Such a great watch! The LeJour might be the easy way to fuel the lust for me 😎

I have Porsche design model: 1919 Chrono Titan Rubber,and I lovve this watch big time💪

"Finding one is quite the Goose chase...." I see what you did there, lol.

That intro was great! Very fun.

Would take this over the Daytona every time out.

Great video ;) thanks for sharing

Great review thanks Max....

Thank you Max~~!!

Great video Max 👊 thanks

This really made me grin - great vid, great watch - regret selling mine years ago

Many thanks,, very interesting

Great video, thank you!

Congratulation ! Super video !

Hello. Just came across your video. I have this watch with the Lemania 5100 movement that I inherited from my Dad. Super special to me clearly. It’s running, but has a broken stem, needs a service, and perhaps a light/sympathetic restoration. Any recommendations on an AD or repair shop that would do a good job? Thanks, sir!

Fantastic video !

Cool video. Love pd watches. (One correction on your statements, pd and iwc made mostly titanium watches not steel……..)

I could just imagine the Cos play themes at a watch crunch gathering...oh my!

Nice Porsche watch. I don’t have one but I’m rocking my Sinn 856 S UTC while watching this video 😎

I have always worn digital watches like G-shocks or Suunto, never had a taste for analog watches. Then I watched Top Gun again for the zillionth time, noticed this watch and I wanted one immediately. This peasant is not going to drop 4 digits on a watch so I looked around for something else that is aesthetically similar. Went with a Citizen Promaster Nighthawk, and literally the day I got it in the mail I heard about the Dan Henry 1972. So obviously I got one of those also.

HOT AS HELL 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Great video 👍👍👍

Top video🚀, thanks ✨️

I bought mine in 1976 when 39 PCAers went to the Factory and to Weissach.

i almost got the dan henry version of this until i saw the urban gentry video on it

Good natured correction: you said “F-1 Tomcat”. It’s an F-14. Fantastic video! Thanks for your amazing content.

What a nice example 😍 The Lemania 5100 is definitely the go to

If I have one of the 1972 PD Orfina 7176s Valjoux 7750 originals, before the Lamania 5100, how would I go about getting it appraised or selling?

The Victorinox “Air Boss” line has a black ion plated stainless steel chronograph with “engineer” style bracelet powered by a 7750 movement that’s worth a look.

Well done. Enjoy your videos.

Nice intro

That intro 🔥🔥🔥

Yes

You forgot the bit about "you can wear this until your Rolex AD returns your phone calls"

Bought one at factory gift shop in 1976 on the Treffen. But it needs work! Any ideas?

i have this watch ,but it damaged , is there any way i can fix it ?

The Porsche car company isn’t the same company the that makes watches. The watch company is Porsche Design. Ferdinand Porsche was one of the principle designers of the 911 while working for the family auto company. He left afterwards to start Porsche Design.

Condivido in toto la discussione su quanto detto. Dal mio punto di vista "toglietemi tutto ma non il mio TITAN "

Awesome video, getting your hands on an original? how expensive will it get

Great video Max! Just wondering if the watch is yours and if so, where did you purchase it from? It looks great for it’s age. It makes me regret selling my Sinn Chronograph (the same one that you referenced) years ago. I guess there is always the newer Porsche Design chronograph if it is still available. Keep up the great work!! 👍

Great video. Pity you didn’t talk more about the 7750 variant. Also, there is some info out there indicating different wordings on the bezel, e.g. the inclusion of 1 mile or 1 km between the 12 o’clock and the start of the chronograph markers... check it out!

Sir may you please suggest me a watch for men party or wedding under budget please .

Dan Henry has released a new version of the 1972 that is more true to the Porsche Design

I’d love one but they’re just a little too pricey. I did buy a dan henry 1972 maverick though & its a very nice watch for the price.

Max, is there an Android app available for WatchCrunch?

❤❤❤

The minute hand is not evenly coloured, it is clearly visible in the video when zoomed in. 2:09 - What is it?

Damn that's an incredibly clean copy. This is my all time grail. The civilian version is the one I prefer as well. I do have a Sinn 157 which is about as close as you can get but I've always wanted the real deal. I should have stretched and bought one a few years ago because they keep creeping up in value a little more every year.

Nice video! Also… wanted to get some help in the comments, I found one pre owned, 3k USD, is it a good buy?

Unfortunately they didn't give his stunt double one in the original.

I cannot believe the condition of that watch. Amazing!!!!!!!!!!

Danger Zone

Oh come on, the volleyball scene is shirtless!

🎧👍

Look back at the first Top Gun clip kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eMeRmbFmqJrdd6M.html&ab_channel=BoxofficeMovieScenes Scene 6:40 , Maverick is wearing a different watch, looks like a Rolex Submariner ? Then later when they return to deck, it has changed to the Porsche watch ?

Great watch journalism

Merch.

the real TOP GUN are wearing the BREMONT ALT1-Z because this watch are make complete to the requirments and need's of every FIGHTER PILOT during there NAVIGATION and SYNCHRONIZE FORMATION in thr air,,

9000€ for that piece? really?

spending that amount of money for a watch that loses its colour over time is funny . im a watch guy and this '' look old , patina , '' or what ever you call a wear over time is just ridiculous.... never follower of stupid trends '' moon watch '' moon swatch'' ''this watch , that watch , that movie '' bla bla bla . people spending 5000 on a gshock lol . even the movie sucks . it hurt seeing tom cruise banging from side to side inside the fighter jet . 1st topgun was a charm
