Seiko ‘Save The Ocean’ on the wrist today. Got the Speedy with Heselite crystal on bracelet and I love this watch. I love the traditional aspects of this watch and the fact that it is made for Space and yes I love manually winding the watch. It brings me back to my childhood when watching the challenges of the Apollo astronauts on the moon. Don’t miss the date and yes there are some scuffs on the crystal but that doesn’t matter at all.

Wrist check: today I wear a vintage Vostok Komandirske with a tank on the dial. Mechanical and with barely 30-something hrs of power reserve so I have to wind it every day - and I love it honestly. Great watch with incredibly reliable soviet movement that runs now, after adjusting it, with ~ +5 seconds a day, and before I got it, it was not serviced for ~18 years and was running without fault! This watch although inexpensive is sort of a family heirloom, my great grandfather passed it to my father who passed it to me.

MADE IN CHINA is 'what it is' when china-produced parts are 'assembled in Switzerland'. Swiss law has NO COMMAND over the language itself, Swiss or English, so over "50% of the watch's value deriving from Switzerland" (LAW), satisfied by the 200 Euro/hr act of Swiss workers merely ASSEMBLING the china-parts, DOESNT make it "made in Switzerland", nor "Swiss made", which makes the WHOLE THING A DAMNED LIE, FRAUD. "Sharp edges" on the case and the bracelet, some say, and I beleive them. Not buying the damn thing. Listen up, watch-guys.

I really appreciate you giving all the dimensions and even the weight! That’s a big factor too. Overall I think this watch wears much smaller than the spec sheet would suggest. A lot of the height is from the crystal and the actual case is 40mm, the crown guards on the right size are where the extra 2mm comes from.

Gave him all the references numbers so I get the exact watch I want. Told him I wanted new and it must come with all papers, tags and box no exceptions. Been waiting for this a long time. I worked for NASA on the Shuttle Program for a number of years and I have personally meet many of the men that walked on the surface of the moon. I even have a collection of Apollo, my watch won’t get here soon enough.

Currently wearing the Rolex Explorer 214270 39mm mk2 dial. I have been exploring the Omega Speedmaster 38mm reduced as it is one of the only automatics they have left in the current collection, would love to see a review of it as there aren’t many on KZfaq. I know it is normally overshadowed by the moonwatch but for many people with smaller wrists, 38mm might be a good size

@brett2396 2 жыл бұрын

I wouldn’t buy the reduced if I were you. It has a module chronograph movement that’s basically impossible to service. Usually watchmakers can’t do it and when you send it to Omega, they just replace the whole module. This usually costs around $1000 or more each time. The watch itself goes for under $3k used so you are spending a third of the total cost every few years on servicing. Doesn’t make sense to me, too expensive to service. The Professional is actually a 40mm watch, the extra 2mm width comes from the crown guards that fill up a lot of space on the right side. That’s why it wears smaller than the 42mm spec would suggest. Also a 47mm lug to lug and closer to 11mm case height (measurement without the crystal) it wears really well, probably very similar to your 39mm Explorer.

The sapphire version is worth every penny, it really looks more expensive with the bracelet then the asking price, its stunning. Honestly first time i saw it in real life i was like is this what's all the hype is about? I was not that impressed then i saw it again another day on some random guys wrist and it grabbed my attention it looked so elegant and sporty, it had such a nice appearance, i immediately went to Omega and tried it on hand, i was sold. I fell in love. I think this watch need to be seen on somebody elses wrist in real life for those who dont think its anything special. Trust me this watch is special and screams luxury. I understand the following fanboys now, im slowly becoming one. Im so blessed to have this watch, it's so stylish and attention grabbing without trying to be. And the lume is very good on this. Im in a position now where i understand both sides the haters and the lovers. I did not like it myself immediately i mean it was ok but not worth my money, but after i saw it on that guy suddenly my opinion changed and i saw it in a different light. And the appreciation just grew from there.

Last Saturday 07/31/2022 I bought this beautiful watch. The appearance is quite striking and I love the Sapphire Crystals front and back. Although it's hard to find a criticism of this piece, I'm really not fond of the taper to the very thin clasp. The tapered bracelet just looks disproportionate to the 42 mm size of the case. It's a personal preference certainly, but the thin clasp does not inspire much confidence in the strength and durability of the bracelet. Other than that, this watch is extraordinary in every detail.

One year after i purchase the SMP 300 diver in Blue..... next step, i´m on a wating list for a Rolex Explorer 2 with white dial.. Black, Blue & White Dial... it´s not just the colours, i admire the mechanic of each three watches. For the "real" first Watch you can effort, i will always go with the Speedmaster.. Because, you can wear it with a leather strape, metal bracelet or a Nato Strap. For every occasion you have the best watch!! p. S on my wrist is today my smp 300 Blue diver, tomorrow, it´s a business meeting i wear my Speedmaster ;)
