Mido Multi Star TV Case 70'S Vintage Automatic Men's Watch Swiss ETA 2879 - MIDO introduced their first TV watch in 1973. Patek did not release the Nautilus until 1976, good review but this shoud be corrected, in any case the Nautilus has many similarities to Mido TV Case same as the Glashutte Original of Soviet era East Germany, Mido TV case is the Original look at the Mido Multi Star. last but not least: In 1979 Piaget introduced the Polo, after the 1976 Nautilus and 6 Years after Mido Multistar TV case.

Great review and for someone who's ad-libbing you flow so well 👏🏼👌🏻 nice footage as well, but It's your delivery that feels so natural and not forced. Mido fly under so many peoples radar, but this watch will change that, and what a beauty it is, remember this watch was 1st released in 1973, and the Aquanaut in 1997. Such a Hugh amount of watch for your money and one for me to collect.
@JimiTime15 ай бұрын
Thank you and I appreciate the kind words! I think these will become a bit more mainstream. It checks a lot of boxes while being original and not jumping on the integrated bracelet train. I've thoroughly enjoyed wearing it.

Just discovered you channel. Cool review of such an underrated watch, altough in Mexico they are a bit more known. Recently acquired the special edition "Season 01" with the multicolor dial and it's so nice and fresh. the best watch I have seen from MIDO in a long time. BTW the orange strap is super cool.

Well done Dang. Great review for a stunning watch. I really like the big date series, especially the green one. May I ask you smth? Is it just me or is it actually a matter of luck for someone to get the right fit on the bracelet? I mean I see no microadjustment and no half links. How can i be sure that the watch will be neither too tight nor too loose? I'm ready to pull the trigger and this is the only thing holding me back.
@JimiTime13 ай бұрын
Thank for the kind words man! The bracelet depends on how you like to wear it. I like my bracelet on the snug side. I think the size of each link helps immensely get a better fit, but a micro adjustment would be awesome!

This review is well-structured and the information is well-balanced and thorough. This watch is an incredible value. BTW, the David Yurman (and other bracelets) should be worn closer to the wrist than the watch. I look forward to more content from you!

I've heard about this problem from multiple people now and it made me second guess purchasing one. Some have also claimed that Mido has awful customer service, which pretty much sealed me not getting one. It's a bummer because I was looking forward to the orange strap.

Also here in Italy,there have been several cases of malfunction with the date stock at a certain point.the problem,at the base is that kind of complication, the big date,requires a lot of energy by the mechanism,hence it is a Common problem if not properly designed...i think Mido has lost a great opportunity, the design was a winner,but with these problems that happens around...i think it could be bette4 they do a version without date,what really metters is the shape here..

MIDO was making cases like this in the 70's, they're borrowing from their own heritage as much as any other outside influences. It definitely has similarities, but i think they do a good job of making it different enough.

Thanks for watching and commenting! I think the big date puts it more in the Glashutte lane and was a bold step, but all the “steel sport watches” are going for this look. At least Mido had one in their vintage catalogue to “draw inspiration” from lol.
