[@DeadGlassEyes]

Why are your reviews SO GOOD. Love the camera angles, the lighting, your voice, the stories, everything.

[@DjVader112]

soulless he makes the watches look better than when you see it in person

[@AnkitGusai]

Truly a channel that deserves a premium status.

[@DeadGlassEyes]

@@DjVader112 It's all about the setting. Watches look better in a warm setting with good lighting. A Rolex will look much better in this setting than say in a Rolex showroom where there are a lot of harsh lights and you're basically holding the watch up against mostly glass and bright lights. It's all about the setting, he can't make the watches look better or worse.

Because Watchfinder it's owned by Richemont Group. They know a thing or two in marketing watches ;)

Seeing this watch on Omega website; "Oh, cool watch" After watching Watchfinder video; " I need that watch in my life"!

[@ghostindamachine]

Incredible watch and an incredibly frank and important open hearted and sincere message from this illustrious narrator. I feel that way too.

[@urayamusan]

Probably one of the best outro monologue's I've heard. This is seriously one of the most thought out channels in KZbin. Bravo to the whole production team!

[@felixp.9175]

I struggeld to buy this watch for several month because it exceeds my monetary limit by quite some amount. To make it short, it was one of the best dicisions that i have ever made, I love it every day that I wear it and I couldnt be any more happy with it. It really is a masterpiece. So go ahead. If you can afford it, go get one.

[@Carvlogger]

I'm so happy I bought this 3 months ago. In stock. With Discount. At the Airport. That's how we like it #olddays

[@MrNobbless]

I just wanna say that the cinematography in this video, all of them, is amazing. Use of a macro lens reveals so much detail unseen to the eye. Also, I love the way the frame sweeps across the watch, or stays focused on a movement in the watch. There's always purpose to what the camera is doing and that is something very hard to achieve. Great video as always!

You know, you are not just KZbin's best story teller and narrator, but one of the best I've even met offline. This is seriously is an understatement. You truly have talent in speaking

[@davidpeck596]

This may be my favorite watch video I've seen. I own a Seamaster and want a Speedmaster, I'm 58 years old and the Apollo program totally captured my imagination in my youth. This video puts that into perspective and lets me know that I really, really need this Speedmaster!

[@abo6afsh]

Ok fine 😭 , I'll sell a kidney Man this description got me so good

[@watchesonly]

Go for a replica and your body will thank you later. lol

[@Rabauke2.0]

Never go for a replica. Hommage watches though are a different thing.

[@calvin10]

A kidney is not enough tho XD maybe two?

[@AlessandroGenTLe]

@@Rabauke2.0 hommage are stolen design without a brand on top. There is no difference except they look like the "poor man wannabe watches".

[@Rabauke2.0]

@Alex LeGenTle I think we have to sort out what we mean by Hommage watches. Hommage watches are watches of known brands that copy a certain design, for example Steinhart are doing Homage to Rolex obviously. This might not be everybody’s watch but legally it’s totally fine. Replicas on the other hand are some Chinese watches with no real brand that copy not only the design but rather steal the design and the exact measurements etc. That is criminal and it’s really poor buying those and pretending to have to have the real deal.

[@ContraNovae]

This was narration that shot far past watchmaking. Thank you. We need to reach for the stars themselves.

[@mikeuk4130]

Mistadobalina, Mister Bob Dobalina. You are one funky homosapien, Bob! Yeah, I was stupid, I didn’t buy one of these……yet!

[@gsmarchand]

Your narration is great. Sounds so much as a story and less as a script. That's the reason I keep coming back to the videos.

[@forceforgood4669]

Watch making is fascinating, telling of the mind connection to the hand, what we call art. I find your presentation truly educational.

[@johnreading4387]

One of your best videos, if not the best so far. Thank you for sharing.

[@niallvbrennan6629]

Great to see Apollo 8 remembered. I think we also forget that 12 astronauts walked on the moon. Brave men all. Thanks to videos like this (and I cant think of any quite as good as this), I plan to buy a Moonwatch later this year, in recognition of the inspirational achievemens of the Apollo programme. While it is, in essence, just a watch, I think it would be difficult to remain solely immersed in worldly cares when looking at a watch that is so closely tied to one of Mankind's greatest achievements. Wonderful video, please keep up the good work☘

[@helisoma]

This video alone made me subscribe. Incredible macro camera work. Your attention to detail is mesmerizing. Very eloquent. This is more of an emotional than technical review which to me is refreshing. Thank you!

Everyone always forgets the first watch in space. Humble Strela.

[@operamatthew]

[@Rabauke2.0]

It’s a shame the Russian watch companies didn’t have such marketing as the Swiss companies have. We all know the reasons, but still it’s a shame. I have lots of respect for Russian watches.

[@marwenyahyaoui3799]

You mean the shturmanskie not the strela 3017.

I've been watching your videos for some time. I've always wanted an accurate watch, and so I've been wearing an inexpensive quartz watch. Recently Ive been feeling because of your videos that mechanical watches are works of "technical art" and have become addicted more and more of your videos. Thanks for uploading them.

[@ryushev2000]

Are there any plans on uploading in 4K in the future?

[@KoolyO2]

What would be the point? I'm watching on a 4k 65" from less than 3 meters and I wouldn't notice any difference. However they would have to (probably) invest heavily in equipment, just to boast that it's in 4k. Maybe if HDR10+ or DolbyVision is involved, then I would say that it may worth it. Edit: Mesmerizing video as always. Keep it up. Nothing else to say.

[@ryushev2000]

@@KoolyO2 I disagree. Just because you wouldnt notice the difference, doesnt mean that nobody will. That said, cameras that shoot 4k are becoming very cheap these days. See the bmpcc4k for instance

[@KoolyO2]

@@ryushev2000 We can agree to disagree. It's just a resolution. It only means that you have to watch it on a bigger screen and/or from a closer distance to notice any difference. And if it was only the 4k camera it would've been easy. There is a lot more going on for videos (more like pieces of art) like these. Anyway, for anyone its own.

[@ryushev2000]

@@KoolyO2 Resolution means a higher potential for detail. For me sitting half a metre away from my 4K 27" monitor it makes all the difference. It is clear that the producers over at Watchfinder & Co. have pushed the quality to the absolute max when it comes to 1080p. Time moves on, 4K is becoming the new standard.

Usually, too many limited editions depreciate the value of the original piece, but in the case of the speedmaster it makes the original (plexi or sapphire + 1957s) look even cooler and more special. They got to stop with it for a while hehe. Great vid!

I'm not an Omega fan because of the unlimited limited editions, but in this this video I agree with you completely.The Alaska project is "SPECIAL" and maybe the 50th Aniversary enamel dial.

There's only one special edition Speedmaster chronograph worth this name... 1976 Apollo-Soyuz for the Italian market!
