I had the chance to visit the Omega factory and museum in Switzerland back in April. It was there that I was able to actually get my hands on a snoopy for the first time (boutique exhibition model, not for sale) and I was blown away! Amazing piece and I wish you many years ahead enjoying your Snoopy!

Wow! I really enjoyed this video you put together and even found it kind of moving. I’ve been researching the Omega Speedys (and some others) as a gift idea, for 5 of my closest relatives. The thinking is, I wanted to get them all a nice watch. Something of similar value that they could possibly exchange between themselves, from time to time, just for a change of pace here and there. Initially the thought was to get 5 different Rolex’s. But I began to think, I would really rather it be something more user friendly and more of a ‘daily-driver’. Not something that just gets stashed in the back of a sock drawer, for safe keeping, for fear of loss or even theft. The Speedmasters and all the possible iterations they come in, seem to check all the right boxes. This idea came up as the result of a recent unfavorable medical diagnosis and I think this video has just helped me make up my mind on what I’d like to gift these special loved ones. Thanks for the nudge! 👍

Thank you for the kind words and support! I'm humbled to have played a small role in your decision! I also super appreciate you sharing your story as well!

The sentiment and idea is wonderful, I'm just sorry it was born out of a medical diagnosis. I hope everything turns out well for you and that you can indeed gift these special watches to your closest relatives! Enjoy it all in good health my friend!

The Sub deosnt have any SR coating whic i find so odd in such an expensive watch....when you can find AR coatings on Garmin, Seiko TUNA watches...etc....what other watch brand/model don't have an AR coating?? :) One of the r reasons why i'm not interested i Rolex's..... the other BIG reasn being---it's the most <copied" watch i.e knockoffs. Gets tiring having to prove to friends you have a REAL ONE...unless they know you drive a new 2024 Aston Martin DBS and live in an $8M home.....there is that group of people that buy expensive watches...maybe used.... just to <look wealthy< but live in a one bedroom apratment in a not so nice area....or just doesn't have the other niceties of life that <go with a real Rolex<....
@thetimistАй бұрын
Haha, no I'm in Washington State, not Canada. I included that little line more for comic relief (given that Canada Goose parkas are very expensive and some people like to wear their watches over their clothes, which only makes sense if you find yourself in an extreme climate like the arctic circle...but not at the mall haha) Thanks for the kind words - I didn't mention the AR coating on my watch because it doesn't have it. There was no AR coating on any Sea Dweller model from 2022 or earlier, the AR coating (underside) was added in 2023. Great call out though for anyone that has a 2023 model or newer 👍 Also keep in mind that some watch brands don't include AR coating not because they don't want it as a positive addition, but because AR (external application on the crystal) can be scratched off and depending on the color/tint/hue of the AR coating it will look like tiny cracks or smudges on the crystal from certain angles. Breitling is a good example, they apply AR coating both top and underside and it's usually a blue hue - the top coating can get scratched (the sapphire is fine mind you, it's just the coating that gets affected) something to keep in mind. Lastly, I don't recommend you buy anything to impress anyone. Ever. Because at the end of the day no one TRULY cares. Everyone has their own priorities, so basing your life choices or decisions on the hypothetical points of view of others is a losing battle, and the only way to win is to not play. So buy what you can afford and what YOU like. You have to be happy with what you have, because it's your money and your hard work. This applies to a Rolex or a Timex and everything in between 😄

@@jangheedavidhan6253 It's definitely a weird scenario, without a doubt. The idea of not being able to simply walk into a store, pay your hard earned money and get the item you want is strange. Granted, it's only an issue on some models. I reckon the watch industry took a page from the automotive industry - they've been doing this for a lot longer. Want a special/rare car? Get on the list. I actually started a watch podcast in March of this year and it's one of the main topics I go over with an actual AD - episode 2 is titled "how does an AD decide who gets a watch?" give it a listen if you feel like it. It's about 40 min long or so. But the short answer is "it depends on the AD." Again, it's a beautiful hobby and collectors space and I really do hope that you get the watch that you want soon and without having to jump through hoops 👍

One thing I'd love to share my input on... regarding the celebrity ambassador debate, I think at the very least when we see these well-groomed celebs like Beckham, with his cool-guy jackets etc. (same with Breitling with Brad Pitt), people might start imagining that kind of look on themselves. Celebrity ambassadors are essentially walking mannequins. They set the trends on fashion, and so they do have an impact on what the fashion magazines and watch media talk about, inevitably pushing the algorithm and BOOM! Wait lists! And we're still here thinking, I don't think this watch is that good looking, but I don't know why I badly want one 😆
@thetimist2 ай бұрын
Haha, very interesting take, and a great point to actually explore further! I believe a great example of that would be the pink dial Tudor Black Bay Chrono! It's literally a watch that will only be available to key folks (a bit like the Tiffany Nautilus) so the expectations of folks that may not be privy to this means they're sort of already setup for disappointment from the get-go. But who knows, that may very well be the strategy (or ONE of the strategies) designed to attract folks in, and upon realizing it's not going to happen, well, you're already there so you may as well check out the non-pink dialed Chrono because that one may very well in fact be available :)
