“She’s alright, she’s not as pretty as my other exes.” Gloriously savage 😂

[@samm.8697]

The best vid you've ever done, mate. And that I'm a lawyer with the exact same watch and with sincere empathy for what you went through has nothing to do with it. The depth of your character was in every single moment. Enjoy the Omega with much health, brother.

[@eleveneleven572]

Was it a gift from a long legged Italian girlfriend ? 😁

[@garysteven9600]

One of my all-time favourite videos of yours, and now I want the watch also, on my grail list, but I was after the new seamster 300m professional, but you've changed my mind for this one. I've watched this vid a few times, and I love it more every time I watch it, thank you for your great work. Regards Gary

[@milleniumraz]

This isn’t a watch channel. No, it’s a drama series and I’m totally hooked! What a great story with a beautiful ending. Hell, I even learned a new word, “indecorous!” That ex of yours was totally indecorous! Bravo!

[@briandeguzman8978]

There’s quite a few of everything here. The lovely watch photography with the unmatched backdrops, seeing Venice through the eyes of someone living there, and our favorite youtuber sharing some personal stuff. Love it!

[@cjcar63]

This Omega is the one and only "luxury" watch that I own. So glad your story came full circle. What a wonderful act of kindness. All the best and enjoy your newly reacquired timepiece.

[@dv100000]

We appreciate your set of skills mr O’Malley, enjoyed the story behind the watch too. Big thanks to mark indeed for creating a new chapter in gifting you a timeless piece of history..👍

[@GonzoJamie]

Right on time - I just purchased the Omega Seamaster 300m on the blue rubber strap and I absolutely love the watch, the brand and the fact that I could buy it without any fuss and at a bloody good price vs the retail price - long live OMEGA!

[@georgecapalbo8996]

Yeah, lost some stuff as well-- however, I have discovered that living well is indeed the best revenge (I think you have got that down)

[@rhino202]

Blue dial or grey? I just got the grey dial a few months ago and pretty much stopped wearing my Pelagos haha

[@GonzoJamie]

@@rhino202 blue dial on a blue strap. I’ll make a video in the coming days about it. I love it

[@rhino202]

@@GonzoJamie will be looking out for the video

[@timegan1185]

@ Jamie Opulence did you get a discount from an Omega dealer?

[@stevenwebb9861]

Wow, thats what defines a man his behaviour not his watch! Hats off to you Mark. This is the very best watch video I have seen on youtube in a very long time along with a great story. Many thanks.

[@bigupsurrey]

Without a doubt the best watch channel on KZbin. The visuals, the music , the voice and the the story’s. Awesome stuff. What a lovely gesture from mark at the fine watch club. Top man.

[@tylerbetthauser7647]

This dropped at an amazing time. End of work, pouring a glass of wine, and bout to listen to stories. So nice to wind down this way

[@daveeastman1633]

Love, love, love that watch - I have both the automatic and the quartz versions (also have a 2254.50 black dial and the 2264.50 quartz version of that as well - you could say I'm obsessed with the design). Great episode.

[@wubbalubbadubdub2810]

The 2254.50 is my grail!! Really hoping they bring the design back one day.

[@gmund317]

Another stunning piece. Quietly so. And a deeply kind gesture by Mark. Escaping from a heartless woman enables one to gift oneself the priceless joy of living. Enjoy!

[@mellyc6550]

What a heartwarming video! It is so lovely to know that there are still people out there that remember kindness. Well done Mark. Enjoy your watch Oisin. xx

[@joshuaashton856]

Bravo Oisin, quite simply breathtaking. So refreshing to see the variety in watch brands. Cinematography, combined with the music is stunning. Keep up the great work Mr O’Malley!

[@davidb5720]

I don’t know how you do it, we are blessed to have you creating this amazing content Oisin. This has it all. Tragic tale of a broken relationship, awful injustice and loss. Set in the midst of a beautiful Italian city, with the hero of the hour, Mark, to save the the day and reunite the wounded party with the gorgeous star of the show, that truly beautiful watch, the Omega Seamaster, all accompanied with a stunning soundtrack and the best cinematography anywhere. Bravo Oisin, bravo 👏 👏👏

[@Valera_Scotland]

New grail. Thank you so much Oisin. Incredibly this has killed all my Rolex grails. Can't explain it but this is something else

[@TheChuckism1]

Yes! Another outstanding video with “ story time “ as a bonus. Beautiful. Thank you!

[@Nobiggiesal]

Another masterpiece Oisin, just lovely. Nice shot of the “electric” blue boat covers and the watch. Absolutely adore this piece. I gifted it to my son for his 18th birthday recently, his 1st fine watch and somehow might love it more than me. It’s the watch that got me into this hobby.

[@finnbaaa]

Absolutely outstanding sir. The highs, the lows and the timepiece. What did me was the wee tribute at the finish. I was in bits FFS! More power to your elbow brother.

[@mrtee6678]

I’ve had the quartz version of this since new and it still stands up as one of my best looking watches. Fantastic watch

[@red75v67]

What a cool gesture from Mark. I assume she'll watch this at some point and I had to chuckle at that thought.

[@wadehampton1737]

I love to watch two guys help each other out so smoothly and with such synchronicity. Like a soft summer breeze. Perfect music. Glad you got your watch back.

[@wadehampton1737]

@Will Harris Pretty sure I knew that but thanks for watching my 6.

[@wadehampton1737]

Her lawyer's wearing the first one.😂

[@alfonsosalvador1711]

Every day at 2:30pm I make a cup of coffee at work, shut my door, lay on my office couch and watch a TWC video…. This was one of the best. Great outro. Closed my eyes and listens to the beautiful violin which was tied up in a big bow by mark saying all the best w that phenomenal lume shot….. I recently sold my brietling superocean to fund my speedmaster racing master chronometer and I miss the lume… now I think I’m going to have to get myself to one of these 225580s to make up for it. Keep up the good work my friend

[@billmuir4897]

It’s just blooming marvellous when a decent human being does something simple, and extraordinarily kind. Lifts your spirits; lifts our spirits. Outstanding. Kindness is often mistaken for softness . It couldn’t be further from the case. Top man. Let’s hope that we can all do something similar at some point this year. What a wonderful world.

[@kma86]

I like this video so much that I kept coming back to watch it again and again. You're a great story teller sir!

[@LTLMedia]

The cinematography and commentary makes watching your videos like watching a documentary. I could listen to you talk for hours. Fantastic work Oisin!

[@EDHBlvd]

I really enjoyed this long story. Fun to have this compelling real life story related to the watch you were featuring. Great video.

[@dantrelford3371]

Great review - nice combination of relaxed, conversational style with attention to the details. Substance and style is not easy. Thanks for bringing your viewers along for the journey,

[@paddymcnamara9147]

Feel for you man! Wonderful episode again. Definately watches were more elegant 20 years ago which is perhaps why most of my small collection originated from that time. Your story and the Hippocampus resonates deeply my friend. Lost loves are strange creatures indeed!

[@dooks85]

I came to watch the review on the seamster that everyone is talking about. I stayed to hear your story about your relationship and your healing process. I was also in a relationship similar to what you were in. My process of healing involved me diving deeply into music and my guitar specifically. At the time I didn't really own anything of value aside from vintage les paul. That of course came with me as I left and never went back. Luckily we weren't married as that would have made it even more complicated. As a fan of your channel I just really appreciate you sharing this with us. I am now an even bigger fan of your channel than I was before and love this channel even more. Thank you again for sharing

[@pedrorivera9779]

Unbelievable story and even better recap. Also, what a kind gesture by the Find Watch Club gentlemen. Amigo, enjoy such a beautiful watch.

[@ericroadglide9985]

Gotta say... you do an EXELLENT job with your videos and reviews! Very much enjoy the banter but most importantly the ambiance you lend to a luxury timepiece appreciation. Thank you and hope you keep it up. Love Venice.

[@twocentsworth3391]

Amazing watch, solid and elegant. The more you look at that piece, the more you fall in love with it. Amazing story, a gesture of a true Gentleman. Congratulations on getting it back.

[@thatguy6111]

I’ve been stalking this watch since this video came out and mine arrives tomorrow. Thank you for the wonderful work.

[@mch979]

Thank you for sharing a difficult story. Wonderful humanity of Mark to try to ease the memories or consequences of that unfortunate experience.

[@jwdepriest]

“I will find your dial, and I will milli it.” I don’t know why I laughed so hard at that…

[@brandonnickerson8934]

Appreciate you sharing your history with this watch. What a cool gesture from Mark. I'm not an Omega fan, but this watch is an absolute stunner. I love the sword hands, seconds hand, vs the skeletonized hands and lollipop seconds now. The tapered case, and even caseback are more elegant here. The milled dial is amazing, it looks like the sea. Even this wart I could deal with.

[@dreitzell78]

I LOVE this video. I am in the hunt for a really nice condition 2255.80. I love the way you showed the waves at the beginning and the waves of the dial right after! Crazy good. Great channel, thank you for the content. All the best to you.

[@FredoWfpb]

Oh my goodness that was incredible. Thank you to the both of you!

[@petequintanilla4237]

Well, it’s official. Oisin can tell a girlfriend-from-hell story and still make it interesting and worth watching to the end. Slainte

[@tonyrome655]

To be fair, most girlfriend from hell stories are interesting (as long as the relationship is over). And, I think most of us have at least one or two stories to tell.

[@bozartg]

Wonderful watch and gesture from Mark. It's so inspiring when someone can be that generous and it means so much to the recipient. I owned one of these for a short time in the mid-2000's. Unfortunately, it was a time in my life when I couldn't hold on to "valuable" watches as money was not there to own many without selling to fund others.

[@nukie404]

Whenever I see a Seamaster from now on, you and your story are going to be the first thing on my mind. Great video, sorry for what you went through Oisin but congrats on finding out what great friends you have. And getting back that beautiful watch. - Han

[@ianmichelino9697]

Symmetry that was not lost on me, the homecoming of another “Seamaster” of sorts, our epic friend and Mediterranean traveler, Odysseus. A brilliant gesture Mr. Mark...Bravo!!

[@adbraham]

Love the backdrop and chat of your videos as much as the watch content.

[@gavinstevenson4587]

A timeless Omega - great watch!

[@PocketUau]

Woah, if I understood this correctly that sounds like an incredible story. Glad all's well now.

[@gavinstevenson4587]

​@@PocketUau Yeah - Hell of a story.

[@callum1995ful]

This is such a heartfelt story you told and to loose something that has sentimental value isn’t particularly pleasant, given the turmoil you were subjected to after the relationship had broken down. Give credit, where credits due, to the owner of a fine Watch Club, what a gent. I’m glad to see you have been reunited.

[@marcusniemann357]

This one, which I bought 20 yrs ago right before the wedding, is still my best everyday watch. The look of electric blue dial under the sunlight is beyond description.

[@dingodave3966]

Oisin, you opened up here mate. Us folk, the watch community you must truely have an appreciation and understanding for to do so. What a beautiful gesture as I feel this watch gifted to you will be of greater meaning than perhaps one purchased to replace what you lost. I’m Italian Australian tough lot we can be, I here ya. Good and bad in everyone though. Another beautiful vid mate.

[@dimitrismina4201]

A timeless video for a timeless watch from someone we never met but has the ability to make as feel like we know him from a looooong time ago.

[@brose5874]

Amazing video, every watch has its story. Some more than others. To you, survivor and to Mark!

[@HunterAsesino1]

Just started the video, but the Meditation from Thais has already earned it my thumbs up.

[@rodb8346]

Your love of this watch is understandable. I have the black Seamaster version (2254.50) and I agree entirely with your thoughts on the way the watch fits your wrist and the clarity of the face and sword hands. Its combination of elegance and tool watch attributes makes it a rare and coveted part of my small watch collection. It was my first quality watch. Your blue faced version is even more special. I love your content. Keep it up!

[@garyshepherd9226]

I enjoy your videos - Venice, watches, and a rambling, Irish man wandering about telling stories, but knowing when to stop. Perfect stuff.

[@mrgood1cor13]

Man, I've been jonesing for a video from you! Great stuff! Intro shots were a little choppy and unfinished (if you will) but the outro was spot on, music and all. Im no editor, Im just referencing all of your other vids that brought me here. Thanks for sharing your story. I think we all have one thats similar to this in some form or fashion. Glad to see you came out on top in the end after all! Mark, you are a good man!

[@renntorq8882]

Beautiful video. The work you put in to these is amazing. I've been lusting after a 2255.80 for years and this inspired me to finally pick one up. It just arrived this morning and I love it! It supplements my 16 yr old black dial 300M. Please keep the excellent content coming!

[@craig2100]

Absolute stunner. I love that blue dial, very elegant.

[@Valera_Scotland]

33:07 very sweet...beautiful video Mr Ocean. This really is a stunning watch. Makes me realise that many modern ones are indeed "cartoony".. I've been considering the dark dial Railmaster as I love the solid case back, the stylish dial and so on....but this is even more elegant and beautiful!

[@kingsford73]

That's a lovely watch, glad Mark has restored the ballance from a bunny boiler ex.

[@markbowman7240]

Great to see you back with one of your past loves. Watch.. An amazing gift from a watch site I'll definitely be looking at even more

[@alvinberniegabriel7038]

Sad story, but a happy ending. A beautiful video of a stunning watch. Very kind gesture from Mark. Cheers!

[@PhotoDaveJax]

Good to see more life on the streets. Great review of life, and the watch. Continued success, fun, and peace.

[@jessedavis7555]

It’s no better breaking up here in the USA.I came home to find all my stuff gone except my Cowboy hat’s that were thrown on the bed.Her knowing that is really really bad luck to a Rodeo Cowboy. I had to throw them away and she knew I would .No vengeance like a pissed off ex.In the end I got a fresh start and I mean everything except what I wearing fresh. Thank goodness your pal fixed you up on the Omega 👍🏼👌

[@jordanlu4548]

The touch at the end with Mark’s words, accompanied by the final notes of the violin, even the timing of that last blackout screen…I’m by no means in any position to judge but to me, that was ABSOLUTELY PERFECTLY BEAUTIFULLY done, so much to the degree I felt I would be irresponsible if I didn’t take the time to write all this down, if that makes any sense. Can’t begin to explain to my gf beside me why I’m tearing up watching a watch channel… Bravo Sir!!

[@ducotedt]

Amazing as always. Every video is a story within a story.

[@Scott-kn6ir]

Hello Oisin - after recently discovering your channel and watching a few of your videos I was fascinated by this Seamaster 2255.80 and liked it so much that I looked for one. As it turned out, a local vintage watch dealer that I know in my home city of Sydney listed one in excellent condition (rated 9.7 / 10) with box and papers! I bought it today and it is a beautiful piece. Amazing condition for 22 years old. Thank you for the recommendation and I look forward to admiring the electric blue dial within different light. Cheers, Scott.

[@mseaton2000]

A very cool story to another great video. So great to see Italy in full vibrance in the background...gives me hope while in lockdown here in New Zealand. All the best:)

[@toocarcrazy]

That is amazing Mark. Now I will be looking at your inventory because you are a champion!

[@lazzer7]

Great video which struck a chord with me as I "lost" an Omegamatic in a similar fashion several years ago... In fact just this week I scored for the quartz version of the electric blue Seamaster. Am very pleased with it too

[@thomasg.109]

Thank you for the great story behind this timepiece, glad you are out of a toxic relationship, best to you. Excellent video once again and the stories and wine are so elegant.

[@garethsigrist8714]

This video has it all! A bit of everything that makes your channel so special, an awesome watch, an exquisite raconteur regaling us with a tale of woe which ends very happily and all set against the backdrop of the beautiful city of Venice 👏👏👏👏

[@julianadams2206]

Hey Oisin, Fascinating to hear the back storey to your owning this model watch and also your thoughts on the aesthetics of the original features of the Seamaster 300 model range from 20 years ago. My 20 year old model 2532.80 shares the same polished steel dial as your watch. I have always loved how this subtle changes the look of the Brosnan era Seamaster. Love the channel and nice to see that you are an Omega fan as well.

[@fitzpatrickeamo]

Fantastic story, excellently regaled and what a gesture. You could feel you were bursting with excitement admiring a stunning timepiece. A lost love has been reunited and all ends happily😉⌚

[@andrewwolkowich]

Wow. Great life story. Shows that bad things happen, but a good friend can come from it.

[@gito4130]

I can't believe you almost made me shed a tear Mr. O'Malley. Magnificent job putting the story together, excellent way to tie in the emotion of loosing your piece with the empathetic brotherly gesture from Mark to help with the healing process. Much recognition to your daughter fort the videography and editing work, it's exquisite. Thank you Oisín, this edition of the Timeless Watch Channel was Wonderfull. Im the owner of a 2254.50 and now I'm thinking about hunting for one of these.

Thanks Luis. Lydia was not involved on this one but we'll be collaborating again soon.

[@kuhagz]

My favorite watch I’ve ever owned! Had to sell mine at a low point years ago and wish I never had! Times are better now, so hopefully I can find one! Thanks for the video!

[@robertschmidt9584]

Thank you for sharing a bit of your soul and the experience! By the way, wonderful music and thanks for music listing.

[@mrbluethailand]

Our man at FinewatchClub! what a top bloke! extremely generous gift. favourite part of the video is 27:34 that thin profile on the wrist! stunning. I didnt know it until i watched this video - I need one of those Omegas. stunning

[@stevenleigh9675]

Great video! This was my first ever luxury watch. A surprise gift from my wife on our wedding day, so it is a very special watch to me as well…. Keep up the great work Oisin!

[@bradandkarlathiessen9036]

Really loved this video. A personal story behind a watch always makes it so much more interesting. Also a really great watch.

[@willemboom3957]

Another stunner!! Not only the watch, but also the video!!!!

[@gyrfalcon7332]

As soon as you said “I figured time went by, probably okay to reach out and say hey”…I was like…nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo (slow motion with arms waving). I stopped everything else I was doing while listening to you today. Wonderful surprise that beautiful SM must have been! Enjoy

[@chrisstone249]

Good things happen to good people...THANKS for sharing the story Sir!

[@martinseeley2901]

Thank you for the truly wonderful content that you provide all of us with and the insights that just keep getting better and better!! You have restored our faith in humanity with this story and without doubt Mark has embodied that timeless saying we all know in that 'it is more blessed to give than receive.' I look forward to seeing you in the city of love soon and in the meantime, keep those magnificent stories coming about life, love, culture and all things horological!!

[@gervers]

I don’t have the words to describe how superlative your videos are so wow! Will have to suffice. Thank you

Another gem,allied with a cautionary tale.You have a very good watchdealer friend,in addition to a loyal following.All the best.

[@rs132132]

Oisin, thank you for this great video and the personal story behind this watch. A few weeks ago, I bought the Omega Seamaster Professional 2254.00 (my first "used" watch purchase) which is quite similar to the one you presented. I remember how I admired it when they were sold at the watch dealers - but then, it was far away from being attainable for me... This little piece is not the most expensive watch in my collection - but I just love it - this stunning, classic timeless piece and prefer it over the new (chunky) seamaster models.

[@thisispw]

Wonderful work again. Thank you for sharing. Great to hear of good deeds.

[@braiderdave]

Oisin, this is my favorite video that you've created. A masterpiece!

[@777soul56]
