Omega Speedmaster Professional Sapphire Sandwich

[MrHendrix1959]

londonbill100 you have no soul why are you even looking at watch videos

[NLS87]

That's not the moonwatch, there is only one moonwatch, and that's all :)

[dakarcz]

there is no co-axial in this ...

[woundedtiger40]

I own this watch & I love it :)

[atcpd111]

Omega was not the only watch worn on the moon. In 1971 David Scott's Speedmaster lost its plexiglass crystal so he wore a Waltham. This was during Apollo 15. Just saying.....

[breitlingsource]

@atcpd111 And also another astronaut snuck another watch on the moon as well... doesn't really matter to me either way. Its what it says on the back of the watch.

[turanzot]

Hi, what size is your clasp?

[TellMeRUABadFish2]

ADHD? You move this watch around more than a crack squirrel twitches....

[breitlingsource]

@TellMeRUABadFish2 Actually, I'm a crack squirrel.

[londonbill100]

SENGVIN - IF YOU READ MY ORIGINAL POST YOU WILL HAVE SEEN THAT I DID OWN ONE YOU IDIOT. ISN'T IT JUST TYPICAL THAT SOMEONE WHO SPENDS A FORTUNE ON A WATCH DOES IT SO HE CAN SAY TO OTHERS, YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT. WELL I COULD AFFORD IT DICKHEAD. BET U DRIVE A BENTLEY AND LOOK DOWN ON OTHERS BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFORD ONE, YOU ARE ONE OF LIFES REAL SAD PRICKS.

[jezza1789]

@londonbill100 lol a watch is jewelry to alot of man, many times the only piece they cary. If watches arent your thing then why watch this video if you dont like them thats a better question.

[2000wb]

CAN YOU HOLD THE WATCH STILL FOR JUST 5 SEC PLEASE?

[breitlingsource]

@2000wb Sure. Just did! ;)

[BigLazyMoose]

@2000wb pause it and there ya go!



[2000wb]

@BigLazyMoose I wanted to see the sweeping of the hands

[londonbill100]

Why pay £3000 for a watch that can't keep time as well as a cheap watch from the market.

Waste of money.

[breitlingsource]

@londonbill100 Well said.

[SENGVIN]

@londonbill100 WHY NOT ? Let's just say your income is $2000 mo. someone else is $12000 mo. u are broke mofo with no money to spare, the other guy can buy whatever he wants and have a better life than your broke ass.Because that is what money are for. I'm sure not all of us are shoping in aldi or $ stores so stop beeing cheap ass monkey and do not comment on something u can't afford

[armyair2010]

@londonbill100 Because you can and you want to. If your happy with a Casio that's your choice but as an engineer I appreciate the mechanical movement as I also appreciate a far from perfect hand built car. A factory robot built Audi will never be as desirable as a hand built 60's Aston but its a heap more reliable just as your Casio keeps better time than the Omega. Imperfection is one of it's idiosyncrasies. By the way I also own a robot built Audi and love it but would love the Aston more.

[2fast4uspartan]

my wrist is thin as hell

[claudiusthegod]

nice review. this is a great watch. that being said, i would rather have the hesalite 3570.

[londonbill100]

It's a piece of shit watch.

Mine was gaining 5 seconds a day.

I had a £10 Casio that kept better time.

I took it back for a full refund

[breitlingsource]

@londonbill100 Very typical time gain for a mechnical watch, and generally considered quite acceptable for a mechanical watch too. If accuracy and reliability are your main concern, stick with your quartz.

[bigbadbruins8]

@londonbill100

spaz

[raginbullfrog]

@londonbill100 5 seconds a day is better than most chronometers, so its not bad for one thats not rated. In particular a manual wind! :-)

[joechiocca1]

They found out a automatic works in space. Love your reviews. Thx

[alexneszmer]

There's 'ma grail!

[J03L01289]

what size wrist do you have? do you think the croc strap is a viable option for someone with a 6 3/4" wrist?

[breitlingsource]

@J03L01289 My wrist size is also 6.75"

[WouterC87]

Bought the same with a steel bracelet just before the big price increase of this year. Everybody loves this watch of course... And in my opinion, for a long time it was undervalued in terms of price. It's one of the few watches that still uses a mechanical chronograph movement instead of an automatic.

Great watch!

[foxysham]

The true moonwatch is the 3570 with the hesalite. Otherwise it aint a Moonwatch, period. Why pay over $500 extra for a different crystal, just pay less and get the real deal.

[Gytax0]

Very nice watch.

[richfilmswales]

Very nice review. stunning watch.

[alitap]

do you know any skeleton (see through) watch, a good brand, around 200 bucks

[rousp1]

A piece of trivia:

Omega actually had to change the text on the casebacks a few years ago because it turned out that the Speedmaster isn't the only watch ever worn on the moon.

[UweFinken12]

See through back?!

Sapphire Crystal?!

A legend gets garbled ...

[1000lightyrs]

You finally succummed to the gravitational pull of the speedy pro hey, it was inevitable :) I've been waiting ages for you to show this one. Do you still prefer your Schumacher? I must admit, that one is very very nice.

[customtacticals]

@1000lightyrs The Schumacher gets more looks, but the Speedy Pro is the Purists Choice... of course the Hesalite is the pure purists choice.

[frips1000]

me personally wouldnt buy a watch that isnt at least 100 meters waterproof!

[peachyangel]

WOAHH!!!! WickED!!!

[tomcat561]

How many b/ph does that movement make?

[breitlingsource]

@tomcat561 21600 vph

[radicaledward40]

Very insightful. Thanks. I'm thinking of buying this, but whats it like living with a manual movement everyday?

[FiReInArM]

One of my favorite watches!!!!!

[nomar2283]

Nice!

[hheeyyllooww]

how does the accuracy of a manual wind compare to a self winding movement? ie... how much deviations does this speedmaster get say per day(ave) and the total deviation for 15 days?

[sooot175]

awesome watch and review. what is the model number? this is the exact watch i'm looking to pick up.

[breitlingsource]

@sooot175 3573.50.00

[fredo51]

They should do a Club Sandwich with a sapphire covering over the tachy bezel as well- they always end up so sorry looking.

[mogando25]

Would you consider buying the Omega De Ville Co-axial? Sure the side "viewing crystals" don't really do anything ... but it seems like a nice watch.

[breitlingsource]

@mogando25 You mean the Hour Vision? I think its a great watch... very underrated.

[mogando25]

@breitlingsource haha, Yeah I did mean the Hour Vision. The size and in-house were what I find great about it.

[bencrom]

@mogando25 The great thing about the 8500 and 8501 co-axials is the silicon hairspring; the wear is so negligible on the parts that it only needs servicing every 8-10 years so it will be even more reliable than previous Co-axial models. Kudos to George Daniel for the invention.

[richfilmswales]

my next watch. can pick them up for a steal second hand. nice review mate.

[alexneszmer]

Awesome review, one of my favorite watches.

Thank you.
