I had heard that Victorinox had broken their 84mm scissor machine and made the discussion to not repair/replace it many years ago. That’s why it’s no longer offered. As far as the EMS logo, it might be for “Eastern Mountain Sports”. They are similar an REI type company based in the Northeast.

i own the 38 it looks so small on me got 20 cm wrist

Sounds like you should have bought a different watch with all the moaning

Great video. I just purchased the 114270 for nearly everything you mentioned. Plus a used model can be had at such a better price point.

I bid $85 for an Alumus on eBay a few years ago, it was the rarer version without a key ring - I lost out it went for $118

Not sure if you're aware, Hamilton have just announced the Khaki Field in a 36mm titanium case as a limited release. It's up for pre-order right now I think

Just switch spots of the new Ranchero with the admiralty. Then rotate wearing the 3: new Ranchero, Hamilton, and Explorer. If that feels good, sell the others. Then wait for an updated Ranchero and 36mm khaki if they ever happen.

Looking good!

What a great find - a Sportsman with scissors! So frustrating we haven't gotten at least a Cadet X yet. I've got the Vic Evo 14 with a similar toolset. The wood handles look great, but I miss the scale tools, and the Evo grips cancel out the shorter length size advantage.

The 38 looks great on your wrist IMO. I fancy the 33 because I have a dainty twig wrist

Wondered were this went… good eBay catch.

A fascinating project! Beautiful watches.

Thrilling project! congratulations...your watchmaker must be a champion! I am surprised at how available some NOS parts are ...Does the project in the end lead to selling one or the other? great video as usual

I like my 124270. The bracelet easylink is perfect in design. You don't have to fiddle around with a glidelock. if your wrist feels big, than adjust it to big. If your whist feels small, adjust it to small. super easy. And comfy!

Congratulations! You must have the cleanest ranchero in existence now.

Beautiful

Thanks for a great video , that must be a very rare knife

Wow thanks for showing us this one ,very rare model , hard to get your hands on. cool.

Great find in great condition 👍 Got too love the older models. I have an Artisan from the same time period, also have the matching Fieldmaster 91mm it has the saw in the same order as the Artisan. The change in order of the scissors and saw must have been a later change, maybe when they added the package hook to the back of the scissors. I still am amazed there is only a 1/4 inch difference in the length of the two knives.

Hey Dan. That's awesome that they gave you a new scissors. We should check out my old Swiss Army knife that I got, I think, in Junior High School. I have another one that belonged to my dad that looks quite old. I imagine that it is possibly from the 1950's or 60's.

Hey Dan! Great video! You've got my sub, buddy.

Closest homage - Militado ML07. More accurate as well due to VH31. Cost $60 😊

I love my Falcon. But, you said "no modification", but I am very tempted to give a brushed finish to the hands, so as to hide the very small portion of luminous paste on the arrow of the hours, plus it can reflect the light even better because polished they get lost with the black dial. Please help me; convince me not to do so.

124270 is better all around the clasp & bracelet is way more durable I feel it’s just a longer more durable lasting watch. However if you already have a earlier model then keep what you got but if you are a new buyer the 124270 is a better buy to me

I’ll take the Railmaster 36 off your hands if you’re selling 🤝

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who regularly falls into collecting rabbit holes. I'm hoping it will stop with watches cause I can easily spend all my disposable money on it and they take little space compared to other things I've collected. In other news I've finally acquired an Admiralty, 135.015 grey dial with black tipped hands and anchor. The long lugs look great on an orange-grey NATO strap. I absolutely love the watch.

Looking forward to the return of the seviced watches!! 😀👍 By the way, have you ever been interested in the Reverso or any JLC model?

What an amazing review of one of my favorite watches of all time. Just a pleasure to watch.

If you happen to sell your Railmaster 36, I’d be interested!

Looking forward to the SOTC

It's not a few additional hours of power reserve. It's almost double the hours. Too biased video.

I bought this watch in 2004. I looked at this watch and a Rolex Submariner 16610. The Rolex felt CHEAP compared to this so I chose the Omega. No regrets. I've worn it daily for almost 20 years now and it's been serviced twice only. Only regret is the appreciation of the 16610 vs the Omega but I didn't purchase it for an investment. I purchased for a watch to wear daily. And it's worked great in that regard!

I have a 39mm railmaster from 2007 2502.52. It is very reliant, an absolute strap monsters and wears so awesome with under 11mm thickness. Nowadays omegas are way too chunky in my opinion

A good honest review.

After having watched your video more than once, , I wanted to also comment that this watch has a sister model without the date feature! The 165.010 is a much rarer model as it came with other dial variations where some also had tritium lume dots and lumed hands on a linen dial! In my opinion this is one of the nicest models in the seamaster rqnge ever made!

It is in fact windable... I would have your's checked..

33mm

124270 is better but this omega is better than the older explorer

Excellent information, I'm looking for a Seamaster now. I sat up and took notes.

Very informative, I wasn't aware of these strap companies. Do all these type of straps fray after a while?

Wow thanks for showing the Bean version 9721. I still have the box and papers that in came in. As I said I have a beautiful vintage watch collection, but I feel funny leaving the house with out this watch on my wrist. Also, Since wearing it on an inexpensive black leather band purchased at Walmart of all places, the watch gets noticed all the time. I've had many people ask me what kind of watch an I wearing . I've tried the beige canvas Barton straps. I loved the look but they tear and if you try to gently clean them they rip very easily and look dirty. So I purchased an inexpensive black leather strap at Walmart and so far its held up incredibly well in all the heat and humidity. I even sleep with the watch on. With the black leather strap it gives the watch a very classy executive look .

there are many reviews of this watch, but it's rare to find one w/ criticisms. as someone considering purchase, i thank you for a balanced and reasonable review.

I've been wearing since 1991 an LL Bean Hamilton Automatic with a date. Its 36mm. The movement is an ETA 2824-2 17 jewel automatic movement. It has the arrow at the top of the dial and 24 hour markers and the railroad track minute marker. This watch has been my workhorse ever since I ordered out of the LL Bean catalog ...its been on my wrist for over 30 years. I have many stunning vintage watches but this is the one I wear everyday. I feel funny with out it. Other than a few scuffs on the mineral crystal it looks new. As a matter of fact it was an anniversary present from my wife in 1991, so my anniversary present last year was having it serviced. I wear it on a black leather strap. It looks perfect no how dressed up or down I am. I really enjoyed your video. Thank you.
