Why I Changed My Mind About Omega Speedmasters, Panerai, & Accutron Astronaut + My Moyer Watch Event

This is not your typical watch review! In today's travel vlog style video, I share my adventures in Indianapolis, Indiana for The Urban Gentry X Moyer Fine Jewelers Watch Show event where I met many fellow watch enthusiasts, including several KZfaqrs. I also discuss my ever evolving watch collection, why I fell out of love with Omega Speedmasters and reasons why the Panerai Luminor is so fanatically beloved. In this video I also share a full in-depth review of the Accutron Astronaut-one of the most iconic pilot watches from Accutron-including positives, negatives, design elements, and where it's positioned in terms of value and the history of the brand. Is it time for me to finally sell my Rolex GMT Master II (aka the Pepsi) for this new 2023 Accutron release? Join me to find out, along with some fun travel vlog highlights, and a recap of the fantastic Watch Show event. What do you think about the watches featured in this video?

A gentleman who is still in tune with the real world. Respectful, elegant videos, the love of watches new and old, popular favourites and unsung heroes. You deliver wonderful videos consistently. And I admire that you don’t pander to public pressure of what’s popular but instead cover what you love. Fortis, squale, bulova, universal Genève, to name but a few. Be proud. Truly

Accutron Astronaut temps me. My father flew the SR-71 and if he were a watch guy I might pull the trigger for him, but $3500 is a lot for this one. He certainly has earned it from raising me and keeping the free world free and all. I’ll keep it on my watch list - maybe in the future.

The Accutron had the name "Astronaut" added to the dial in 1962 to honor both NASA's X-15 hypersonic research pilots, among whom Neil Armstrong, and the Mercury 7 astronauts. At least 8 of the 12 X-15 pilots wore an Accutron Astronaut pilot watch during flight and astronaut Gordon Cooper wore his during MA-9 (May 1963) and Gemini V (August 1965)! The David Clark pressure suit worn by the CIA pilots flying the Lockheed A12 came with a special wrist pouch for the Accutron Astronaut tuning fork movement pilot watch !

I really enjoy your channel. I love my PANERAI I never thought I would own one because of the size, but when I tried one on I had to have it. I just turned 47 and have been collecting watches since I was 8. My grandfather got me into watches and he taught me how to work on them. Most of my collection is affordable watches of every kind. I really enjoy tool watches the most because I can use the dive bezel to time anything I need to also you can time even better with a chronograph. I have many different complications among my different watches like perpetual calendar. Pretty much everything except for a Turbillion but I don’t have the bud for that. The Pan is the only “expensive” watch I’ve bought. I have a nice vintage Omega and Rolex I inherited. There’s just such great value in the Pan. Now I want to check out the AccuTron GMT. Edit: after seeing the price I will have to hold off. I enjoy my cars more than my watches.

I really appreciate seeing and hearing about your evolution in watch collecting. I know that as I grow into my collection my tastes will change. Realizing that I can safely say, one day I may be interested in most of the watches that you have embraced, but I doubt I will every own them. I've loved my tool watches all my life and have worn them with a suit and tie and in extremely formal situations. I felt no shame or remotely felt out of place wearing them, and I never will. Dress and luxury watches will never be my style. To each their own.

@Alex-px2mb Жыл бұрын

You're amazing. Six watches for a trip and someone looking at them as a novitiate would be at a loss to explain the mini-collection, but to TGV there's always a rationale with threads that weave them all together. This is a great way to be a serious collector, because it's not the $$$ that joins them, it's your joy and discipline in building the collection such that all the pieces have something that links them to all the others, as different as they may be. Another fun video and I wish you and Omega and Bulova, et. al., a lot of happy days and success. In everything from the production to the editing you make videos that make it look easy, and you know that always means it isn't. I've learned so much and I enjoy your perspective and commentary every time a new video drops. You've given me a completely new take on how to think about timepieces, when before I was just rummaging around. Cheers!

Excellent episode, loved getting to see some of the event from afar. The Accutron reissue really turned out great. I love the bracelet, and *really* love how cleverly they managed to tuck the crown away. Collection-wise, I think at this point everything in the box is a field watch or a g-shock. It's not a bad situation, and I find that even though the watches are fairly similar, they each offer something unique. From Oris to Sinn to a little quartz Beams Plus piece from Japan, they all have a personality of their own and are the right watch for a specific moment.

I chuckled when you showed the Panerai poster you purchased. I recently picked up my first Panerai (Pre-owned PAM000112) & immediately after located an image of the Flottiglia Mas logo (a skull clutching a rose between it's teeth) There is now a poster in my residence as well as an image as my phone screen. And I found a tooled leather strap with the logo as well. Something about the Panerai.... Once you wear one... it just gets you

The amount of fun really radiates through this videos it really shows in the editing and your non stop smiling I'm sure it was all a blast maybe next you are in Indianapolis you could go to a race that would be cool. To answer the question I guess watches I fell out of love are my vintage bubble back watches I the time I thought they were so cool to have but as time went on I wore them less and less I guess it was my way of trying to hold on to the past and as time went by I began to let go of the past and sold the watches it was my way of letting go of the past I have to day I had a good time selling them it made me think man I can't wait to think of the adventures people well have with the watches I sold them and I hope they have just as much fun with the watches that I had with them it felt a little therapeutic.

I have also rationalised my collection as my tastes have changed. I currently own a GMT Master 1675 on an oyster band, a Panerai Marina on a NATO strap and an Omega Seamaster 2254 which my favorite Seamaster. I have sold my three other Seamaster 300s as well as my Speedy. Was just not wearing them. Other watches I have is a Seiko SKX008 (which is a 007 with updated NH36 movement, Dr Seikostan Atlas coin-edge bezel and a faded red and grey 009 insert. It also has a signed crown and a Strapcode Super Jubilee bracelet), a similarly upgraded Vostok Amphibia (also a bezel and insert from Dr Seikostan) on a tropic strap. And then lastly an Hanhart Primus Racer.

Would have preferred the precisionist movement in the Accutrons. I was very excited by the Railroad watch they reissued but it was 34mm and updated with a mechanical movement. Seems like a miss updating the movement and making it so small. The appeal of the original accutron RR watch was its extreme accuracy over mechanical because rail workers could get docked pay if their watch was off. Then if you could overlook the movement the small size made was a deal breaker. I'm glad they updated the astronaut.

So lovely to hear a genuine comment on tastes evolving and developing based on experience -- ultimately without the current state leading to a complete denial of prior flights of fancy. Just a statement on how there was undoubtedly love there, and now there isn't. Coincidentally, that is exactly how I feel about Bulova at present, to be honest - my first automatic watch was a Miyota-driven piece of theirs whose design was not unlike those of the SevenFriday hype that the early noughties seemed to be engulfed in. I also did, at one point, cast eager glances in the direction of the original Accutron, or even the Ventura. I never acquired either one of those - and the one I did, I definitely would not buy now, ~15 years later. But that probably does have a lot to do with the fact that it's an itch I've scratched... Aside from the 'thrill' though, there' have been more than a few significant experiences we have been through together, so I could not imagine not having my Bulova in my collection. Oh, and... My current love affair is with a vintage column wheel chrono - something I never thought would have attracted me 15 years ago.
