It's actually a very good thing they put the helium escape valve on there; it'll really help while you're taking a bath in the secondary market!

Nick, man, your watch reviews have gotten much better. This is up there with your knife reviews, magic! Very nice, I’m looking forward to your Breitling getting a review when it is time***

A GREAT feeling when a new Nick Shabazz watch review comes out!!

The best to know that unlike many watch KZfaqrs you are fan of accuracy. A Watch must be measured with accuracy. A lot of guys ignores accuracy for the sake of mechanical watch and it is stupid. Good job again.

I’m think that the thickness and the weight it’s the reason that I love so much this watch.

Absolutely loving my Planet Ocean Chronograph. The quick adjust on the bracelet is a many times a day use feature. Accuracy similarly excellent. They make no sense from a cost/function perspective, but still really enjoy having it on my wrist. Thanks for a great vid, Nick.

An excellent review, you made it real! No BS, loved it. Thank you

This is probably the most featured item on the channel that had yet to be reviewed.

Really enjoyed your video - and I quite agree that 600 meters is very deep. But it all comes down to pressure. If you take a dive into the water from a sailboat head first, the pressure around the casing is equivalent of 100 meter. If you crawl in the water the watch will think it's down 30 - 40 meters. So it does have a point to what you do. 👍🏻 Love you channel

“I’m just a guy who likes dive watches cuz I’m insane”. Trust me Nick, we are all insane and that’s why we enjoy watching these reviews.

I bought this watch and now I'm watching your review to see if I made a good decision.

Hey Nick, so glad I found your reviews of this watch! I’m turning 30 this summer and I’m going to take the plunge and buy a serious watch. I was interested in the blue Tudor Pelagos but decided for the money it was a little too casual, not something I could wear with a suit if the occasion arose. This has taken the top spot on my list at this point. Your videos have really captured the details without me having to go down to my AD (don’t want to take up a salesperson’s time until I’m closer to pulling the trigger). I’m wondering if Omega may release a refreshed version that addresses some of this model’s issues at Baselworld this year. Thanks again for the reviews, I’ll be subscribing for more!

I own the titanium version of this watch and it makes all the difference. So light and easy to wear it becomes almost invisible

Finally! Great review as always Nick

When Dr. Nick is wearing this watch and carrying his Medford Marauder, he's carrying about 1 lb. of man jewelry that costs more than my car. :-)

love these watch & pen reviews despite what others are saying! keep doin' them Nick!

I love your reviews. I stumbled across your channels about a month or so ago and I've seen a ton of your videos. I need to stop watching your watch videos as I keep getting tempted to buy another friggin' watch and my kids refuse to help me out by living on ramen noodles and water. The high-end knife videos are bad enough. The watch videos are killing me. Seriously though, I love your reviews. Keep up the good work!

BRILLIANT review, as usual! The quick-adjustment on the bracelet for wrist circumference changes during hot and cold days helps GREATLY with the bloody price of admission alone! From one watch guy to another, I’d recommend taking the size measurement along the diagonals, to eschew the relatively insignificant crown-width dimension on these higher-end pieces (Invictas not included!) And I didn’t know about the 2K1 Space Odyssey font - COOL! And I think the orange font accents are in homage to the original orange-bezelled early productions... One additional point I’d like to make in general about your reviews... as objective as you are - CONVERSELY, you’d be DANGEROUS in knife and watch sales my friend!!! Thanks Nick, -Sid

Love the watch and a really thorough review👍👍

I love the orange accents. Thanks for the review. I think this is my next watch.

I just bought the new white dial/orange bezel and love it. Love the size and heft of this piece.

great video, bravo. thank you for the coverage.

I love it I’m saving my clams for one. The blue looks great

An absolutely beautiful watch. Love your work Nick, thanks. Please try review a Casio Gulf Master, as a mariner I’m always looking at these amazing watches and I’m interested in your opinion on the matter

''Look at that freekin' lume''...''Holy crap is this thing heavy''...PMSL Nick. Love your little funny phrases. Great video.

Hey Nick, thanks for the high quality review! Have you considered the 39.5mm ? I have a similar size wrist and am trying to find AD which has it so I can check it. Have you checked it? Is there any difference in the chunkiness?

Thanks for introducing me to Lewis Jewelers. I checked them out after the last time you mentioned them. They are great.

As my father received a Seamaster 600 for his 21st, I have this one in Ti and love it. No watch is perfect in every way but it's as close as I'll ever get.

Hey Nick, I actually contacted DK and bought one Myself. So it was a really good thing that you mentioned in your first video on this watch Lewis Jewelers.

Three watches I would love to see you review... High end G-Shock, Hazard 4 Heavy Water Diver, and a Invicta Reserve...

Nick what is your opinion about the omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 15000 Gauss?

Love the look of this(to me looks better than any Rolex).I would love one in Titanium!!

Is the case back Sapphire Glass? Thanks

I agree with nearly everything on this watch. I worry how thick this was. The 2500 - older ones were great proportions, albeit not “master chronometer.” The ETA mvmt in it (Swatch owned btw- pseudo in-house) made it thinner and easy to fix. Look at this guy if you want the OG aluminum bezel, thinner watch and cheaper first buy and maintenance. They only came in black dial and didn’t have the new “glide lock” bracelet. The new heritage with a lollipop second hand was my runner up.

Meanwhile im wearing a €20 casio calculator watch with the bracelet only held togheter with tape because it broke in half yesterday... I still love it❤️

would it be safe to buy this watch on the grey market like Jomashop ?

“Hell... it’s about time!” - Tychus Findlay

Great piece .. super review

Is there any bezel play on the Citizen signature diver?

Just had one of this recently, it's totally mind blowing ....

Welcome back to the Robb Report. I'm jealous.

For new listeners, this video is four years old. Omega has now moved away from discounting their brand. At the time of this video, most authorized dealerswhen pressed, would offer a 15 percent discount. Unless you are buying used, don't expect to pay below MSRP. And given the market trends, it likely that in a few years, many pieces by Omega will appreciate in value.

People working at a luxury watch boutique were condescending? no way..

I agree with about everything you state in this video, but regarding the size...you do know there is a smaller 39.5mm version too, right?

Is this a 43.5mm version?

The quick adjust is for wearing the watch on top of the divers suit

Hey Nick, since you've got the callipers anyway, why not start giving us a behind the edge measurement. I would honestly rather have that one that any of the other ones lol.

Thats just gorgeous

Hey Nick, if you had to pick an atomic analog watch between Citizen and Seiko which brand would you choose. Grassy ass.

Is Kripke from Big Bang doing watch reviews? Awesome!

As always, awesome review!

this is so much better than a submarriner

I got the Chrono version with the same problem can't get the right fit no half link the previous model with no push micro adjustment in the clasp had the half link but the link has polished sides is this the link they gave you and you just brushed the sides to match

Orange is known for being the best colour to see underwater. That could answer the orange as it’s a dive watch.

That is a beauty!!

great watch!!!!!

What is the didifference between the 8900 and 8500 movement?

Use a fitting screwdriver to remove the screws of the links. Also heat might help (Hairdrier). Reapplie thread lock if needed..... But how often do you remove links and put them back in?

What are some of the “best value” watches?

I bought the PO America’s Cup limited edition. The white dial I think is better than the blue.

I love his accent. It’s like a East coast mobster selling you a caahh. Cheers mate!

But where does omega claim 10 year service intervals?

I replaced the bracelet with a nice dark blue leather band, and it reduced the weight down to 117 g's.

get a seamaster 300m if you NEED a thinner watch

Sounds like what you want is a Seamaster Diver 300m.

Can you please give the details of your authorized dealer? Only website would be enough.

@Nick Shabazz - Did you ever consider a Submariner ceramic? all of the bad things you mentioned on the Omega aren't on the Sub if you're interested in another ultra expensive diver :p

Screw down links is a beautiful thing. Straight up Sopranos talk there 👍

If ti's too thick then choose the 300m

The this watch competes with the Rolex Sea Dweller. In order to do that, the deeper depth rating is necessary.

Nice watch and good review. Not my taste, too big. I have a Railmaster I like but not really a dive watch. Heck save your money and get an Orient Mako USA II that is all you need at a fraction of the price. Except that cool buckle. For actual swimming, the Seiko Monster (Dracula version) is my go to and is the largest watch my wrist will hold. Better yet, do yourself a favor, don't get into watches.

The problem with this watch is that you can barely see any external changes or improvements on the 2021 model

I have the 45.5 Coaxial with the Orange Bezel... matches my Hinderer XM-18 3" perfectly. I know, I know, teflon washers

You have sufficiently convinced me that I will never want one. I get that it's got $1K worth of finish and $300 worth of bracelet and amazing mechanical action. Price aside, I just don't want that anchor on my wrist.

Can you do a terrible knife collection

Nick please review a rolex in comparison to this.

Lock Tight the dumb escape valve. People have been telling omega to offer a model without the valve. However Omega won't because they would then feel pressure to offer the the non escape valve model cheaper. And the non escape valve model is 99.9% of the sales. Meaning the majority would buy the non escape valve. Leave .001% of serious pro drives buying the escape valve. Yea it is all about "Look we added this other useless feature which make the watch more valuable. If they didn''t have James bond they would sink.

Just listen to the latest GGL episode..Watches, watches watches!!!

Service interval is 5 years not 10. You can find the service price on Omega website. For this one $550 for complete service. I asked my boutique the manager said it takes 2 months for a complete service to get back. I make mine go overall average 0 sec per day. The watch is "fat" and I love it. I don't care about the He and it doesn't really bother me. Is the mat underneath solid or soft? That affects the weighing result. What's your normal wrist circumference?

Did he just compare the size to a Casio? Why?

Your number rounding is awful😂 awesome review

"ohm symbol" lol

interestingly with this watch, a tourbillion would literally be a disadvantage whereas usually they are just, there, for no real reason

Thin Small watches were the mark of how clever watchmakers were back in the day I think 45MM is prob as big as any watch should ever be unless you have wrists size of ankles you look like a toddler wearing his fathers watch lol

This compared to your first review is world's apart. Buyers remourse anyone...

I notice you always tend to round down on decimal measurements, even when the remainder is greater than 0.5 units. Isn't that bad form in a technical or mathematical field?

Who knew that Moe Szyslak is a watch nerd?

Bezel play should not exist at this price point.

Why is 21mm ridiculous

The watch is not too big. Your wrist is too small. I prefer this watch over my Rolex Sea-dweller 43. Bottom line, it’s a great watch if you like chunky. Want another chunky diver, get a Doxa 1500 T. Both have great wrist presence.

Woody Allen does watch reviews

How's the lazer work? Had a chance to use it yet? Escape from any international criminals? Blow anything up ? Been in a diving bell ? Been below 1000 ft ? Ugh...

Buddy Hacket

I love mine, but I totally agree with three ugly things, no half links, the helium escape valve and the inflated pricing. I was lucky and got one which had been used in exposition, but still a lot of money. But it will never leave my watch box.

You still considering selling this guy? I've got a black 42mm 8500, Id be willing to work out a trade. It would definitely work better on your 6.5 inch wrist.

It looks like a big wart

I hate when my wrist gets bulbous...lol

If you wanted less depth and less thickness why didn’t you buy the 300. Or just not buy it at all !

If you think the PO is overpriced, you must think the Submariner is highway robbery.
