Swatch Group owns Tissot and Omega as well as many other brands and the ETA line of movements. Omega does NOT make Tissot, they are independent companies under one umbrella corp.

[@WristwatchAddiction]

Thank you. I was hoping someone would correct this. While it was a cringe comment, I’m hoping he was trying to say “made by Swiss” and just had Omega on the brain. I know I misspeak all the time so I suppose it’s possible. At any rate, it definitely needed correcting so thank you!

[@aurelius388]

Exactly. This greasy dude lost me with that one.

[@Gemini530]

[@thomasharrick]

2:54 Seems like an awesome shop - but saying Tissot is "made by Omega" is misleading at best. Tissot is owned by Swatch Group, operated under completely different umbrellas even though Omega and Tissot both are under Swatch. Tissot uses ETA (Swatch) movements, while Omega makes their own. They aren't made by the same people - just a heads up to any viewers!

[@MrTchou]

Also the Hamilton shown here has very little ressemblance to the Elvis’ one, saying it’s Elvis watch is very misleading as well…

[@rodrigodeoliveiraleite5129]

Tissot is, historically, the sister brand of Omega (like Tudor is to Rolex) since 1930 when they together formed SSIH, the precursor to the Swatch group. There are several older Tissot watches co-branded with Omega.

[@peteygnyc]

..but to sell a Tissot Ocean Seastar Automatic (Powermatic 80) for over $1000? Tisk Tisk. I mean, I am all for mark-ups, but that watch, MSRP is $725. Damn. Even the Seastar 2000 MSRP is $825.

[@Tom_H327]

Yeah, this guy is the reason that when I go to a watch shop, I shop and don't talk to the salesperson until I am ready to buy. I don't allow sales people to help me shop. If they follow me around the cases like this guy, I just look and leave then buy later online.

[@Oenothera]

Hey Adam, I'm a bit of a watch reseller myself, and I have to let you know, I have never seen the Lunar Pilots trade over $600, let alone that high. Even the one on the bracelet which is sold out most places doesn't. $699 is an absolute rinse, guy probably made $300+ from the resell if he got them for $320 on release like most of us. Also, you can just straight up buy your model for under $600 from bulova themselves... it's $556 from them right now. In general this guys prices were over MSRP, especially if he really sells seiko 5's for over $299. You could probably walk into like a Macy's or something and do better on pricing. I'd be careful dealing with someone like that, good luck in the future.

[@danielthompson803]

So true, I couldn't believe the prices he was giving. Adam needs to learn a lot about watches still.

[@peteygnyc]

..and that Tissot...jeez. The MSRP is $825. Dude selling it for over 1k...that's ridiculous.

[@UnburdenedByWhatHasBeen]

i bought the bracelet version for $460 on Amazon. that was what people were asking on ebay for the same model used. the price fluctuates from $400 to $580 new on the grey market. yeah he bent my man over on the price

[@2idiot4u]

The man has to run a shop in a expensive aeria, keep on the light and pay rent: he is providing a service for the customer who is willing to pay for it. Also you can see the actual watch before buying it. I would rather pay a bit extra for that than buy something that I've seen on a screen without actually wearing it, feel it and seeing it with my very own eyes. If he really was too expensive, I think his shop wouldn't have survived.

None of the Speedmasters of that era had sapphire crystals (in fact, I don't think any watch did). They had what Omega called "armoured glass" or hesalite, which is a form of acrylic.

I just received my Bulova Moonwatch a week ago and now I come across your video. Seems that we learned about the watch and bought it pretty much at the same time. For me - somebody who needs a watch and is interested in space programs and such - the Lunar Pilot is no brainer. Great price range in relation to the quality plus its history. I also went for the version you chose and I wear it on the NATO strap which, in my opinion, is the best choice for it. The watch is highly legible (in light and dark) and its dial is not too busy (the design itself reminds me of the lunar craters), it has fantastic mechanism / movement of hands and kinda elegant but also specialistic look - all of that makes wearing it a pleasure for me. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in buying it.

[@AdamSwords]

Awesome!

[@oak6845]

Adam your a man that now knows what real timepieces are, G-Shock, Luminox, Seiko, Tissot, Panzera and Bulova. Soooooo much greater engineered and incredibly built to go through any type of condition all the way to going to the moon. But for one thing if my beloved G-Shock was around in 1971 it would had been on the astronaut wrist, no doubt and you know it as well. Your Bulova is stupendous and Ivan is so cool and righteous!

[@NicolasLakoff]

Couple of details that you missed with your story about David R. Scott. First before he strapped on his personal Bulova he called in to Houston (ie "Huston I have a problem") and asked permission to use his Bulova. Second since it was his personal watch, once back on earth, he actually kept it in a safe until he decided to have it auctioned in 2015 where it obtained a staggering $1, 625,000for it. As high as that seems, it's still far off from the highest price at auction ever obtained for a watch, $31.19 million for a Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime 6300A-010 in 2019. Third, not to burst anyone's bubble, since I have the Bulova Lunar Pilot special edition (and L-O-V-E it) but the re-edition is inspired by the prototype that Col. Scott took to the moon with him and there are quite a few differences with it. Kudos to Bulova for paying attention and getting the idea for a re-issue but it is a modern take on the prototype using the specs that NASA had originally given for a space watch which even if they wanted an American Company represented as Bulova was US based at the time, Omega beat out all the other bids with the Speedmaster.

I have a funny feeling that the Bulova, which actually has been to space, will last a hell of a lot longer than the Swatch, is so very much more accurate - at 10-15 secs per ANNUM, can be repaired should the need ever arise, and is not that much more expensive. I know that I have made the correct purchase. Thanks again for a very entertaining video. Cheers mate.

I recently began hearing of Bulova as the American company and American watch that really doesn't get a lot of overwhelming respect. As a youngster I remeber an uncle in Biel Switzerland working at Bulova. I remember Grandad visiting his brother and the factory where he purchased a watch. So I always thought that Bulova was Swiss. Bulova did open a factory in Biel in 1912 and operated until it closed very sadly in 1983. Through those years, Bulova was very well known and highly respected in the world of Swiss horology.

Good choice I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on one of these myself. Really robust. It should serve you well.

Do it!

I have this watch on the metal bracelet. I absolutely love it!

I love my Lunar Pilot. I got the shiny one with the old-style Bulova logo. No date, alas. I like the distinctive pushers and the case shape. And the sunken index track and subdials look great.

[@luxoriusbg]

Got the same one but on a metal bracelett. Wear it with joy my friend!

[@AdamSwords]

I have the metal bracelet on order ;)

At 21:40. In the fall of 2023 I started seeing new versions of this watch at Bulova ADs. There is a polished stainless steel case version with black dial and link steel bracelet. There is also a white an blue dial version with steel link bracelet and leather strap.

Congrats on the new watch. It looked superb. Love these types of watch videos by you. Also love the seikos.

When you said the moon watch, I got excited, thinking it was the new G-Shock moon, that was released in China four days ago. You need that watch mate, I have mine on order and they look amazing!
