Omega Grey & Dark Side of the Moon is the subject of this weeks review. I managed to get my hands on these two fantastic Omegas from the guys over at Bob's watches. These two Omega watches are probably the best I have reviewed on the channel. Join me as we take a closer look at two very unique watches.

I tried on a Grey Side of the Moon Metorite at the Omega store in Scottsdale, Arizona a few years ago. It was one of those classic "I will own one... one day" kind of experiences.

Hey, I agree its a stunning watch! I would love to own one one day also.

Yep it was nice, I was really taken by the grey one. I still think about that watch often.

Wow! That is one of the most beautiful meteorite dials I have ever seen! I wonder who the lucky SOB was to get this watch.

Hey Sam, thanks for getting access to these two lovelies. You and I both have Speedmasters with the 1861 movement and I would like to have one with the coaxial at some point. But the price point on these is pretty tough!

Hi Tod, yes I think the list on them is 12k. That grey side of the moon is probably one of the best watches I have reviewed in the channel. I don’t feel like I fully did them justice here.

@@CasualWatchReviews Thanks! it is really a good pick and it's rare to find it available, I heard that it will stop production this year and I just got it immediately( had to purchase from dealers because of the shortage in Omega shop. I always want a meteorite dial watch and this one is really beautiful and with in my budget! Great video btw, I really like it. Keep up your work!

@@CasualWatchReviews does it feel like metal or plastic or something else? - I know titanium has a warmer feel than steel.

Somewhat misleading to keep referring to grey side of the moon when you're actually showing the meteorite , although it is indeed grey it is a different watch from the grey side of the moon ; still a beautiful watch.

@CasualWatchReviews 2 ай бұрын

Just to clear this up if anyone reads your comment. This is the grey side of the moon, the version with the Meteorite dial. There was more than one version, like a lot of Omega watches. This is not misleading if you know Omega watches even a little bit. Here is the omega reference… something easily googled if you need more information. www.omegawatches.com/en-us/watch-omega-speedmaster-dark-side-of-the-moon-co-axial-chronometer-chronograph-44-25-mm-31163445199001

@@CasualWatchReviews Meh, my opinion shouldn't matter as long as you like it, ppl don't understand why my modded Vostock 710059 is my most cherished watch and I don't care lol. I checked it out though and it's a really nice watch, understated elegance and I like the yellow on blue colors and the 007 touches are nice though I'd prefer the original second hand w/crest, I'm sure you'll have it sooner or later, run on sentence finished lol.

@CasualWatchReviews 5 жыл бұрын

Ryan Omega? I dont think my channel even factors in the grand scheme of things for them. As far as I know they don’t work with any youtubers not even the big ones. I am a big fan of the brand, this channel is a hobby for me its not a business. If it was I would have shut up shop a long time ago. If omega are watching and want to pay me or send a free watch then please do!!!
