That’s awesome! Thanks for the nostalgia. I unfortunately don’t own either of these anymore. I’d love to have the current SMP.

This was also the video i watched 10 years ago its the video that got me into watches. I got the superocean back then. I have just swapped my 2020 for the older seamaster its the one i always wanted. Brings back memories

Can I ask how much the SO retailed for back then. Thank you!

Nope I wish.

Dang I feel that! That thing is sick! They are ultra rare now too!

I have two Balls 😉

Sold it many years ago.

How much!?

Wrecky61 . I get mine from them too , good company

@Wrecky61 ..next time someone says to me "you take a year to reply to messages" I'm gonna show them this. Your a legend mate! Anyway let me check the prices again

CarLover21 You must have missed the comment about this. I posted this in 2009 the watch was purchased in 2008. Prices increase yearly. It was $3000 new then.

I hate watching my videos lol I feel so old!!! Lol

You can always belt carry it instead of around your neck. What are the top qualities you look for in a knife? What is your preferred type knife? What knife would be worth that amount of money?

Oh yeah. You got me.

The Breitling was high polish, thicker and heavier. It was a nice piece, but to me the Omega was more understated and classic. I don't have either anymore, and I want another nice dive watch. There are many new models to choose from several brands, but the ultimate for me is still the Submariner ceramic bezel, black or green face I can't decide.

Alex LaJeunesse Hublot 4000 titanium its the top

Alex LaJeunesse I've had the green face since it was released. I prefer it to the black one.

in what way is omega 10 times better ?

Kristofer Wodejszo you can dress it up or uss it as a sport. brietling is more tool than dress. still both great watches, just used differently

$3000 is a hefty sum of money when you're working part time and in school at 21 years old.

***** I don't really care. The Breitling was nice, the Omega was nicer. Yeah I'd rather have a ceramic bezel Submariner or an IWC Portuguese, but if I'm going to spend that kind of money it will be on a new motorcycle, not a watch. I'm very happy with my $1500 Ball Engineer Master II.

I'm not saying that they are not good watches

You're comparing apples to oranges. Compared to AP and Patek yes, they're not nearly as expensive but 2,500-3 thousand IS expensive IMO...

Dan Goldsmith Thank you. Most people would say even $1000 on a watch is insanely expensive. I don't plan on buying anything more expensive than a Rolex Submariner. I don't want or need five figure watches.

I hate to see them, mostly because I'm a big fan of made in USA products. I know a lot of Spyderco knives are made overseas but they always have been and the Golden factory still makes knives. Anyway, the counterfeits from China do irk me. The Chinese don't think they are doing anything wrong by making blatant copies, and they will tell you the copy just as good as the real thing because in their mind it is the real thing. They don't care, or maybe don't realize, that Chris Reeve knives, for example, are made to an incredibly high quality standard. They just see Chris Reeve as a popular design and brand logo.

I don't have most of these knives anymore. I buy very few Benchmades. Yes most of my knives are dark colors these days, but I still keep some bright ones in there, like an orange Manix 2 S30V and blue Paramilitary 2 M390. I also plan on getting more of the colored flat grind Enduras as it's one of my favorite EDC/work knives. I find people respond positively to the brightly colored handles, and I may even get a purple one.
