I like automatic spring watches because they cannot be shut off by an EMP and UFO ⌚

[@lucacadianalbert]

Yeah regret not picking one of these up when I had the chance. They are already going for ridiculous prices now. That's a nice one Max - it's in incredible shape.

[@WatchCrunchOfficial]

Yeah I lucked out Luc 😅

@@WatchCrunchOfficial you lucket ripped ass out your wallet you mean.... LOL

[@kennylu8428]

Nicely done! I was very confused with all the different variants or derivatives of this design. Thanks for the clarity in the end, it all makes sense now. PVD tends to chip off rather easily; to your point it adds character but the one you have looks absolutely pristine after all these years!

[@WatchCrunchOfficial]

Yeah PVD wasn't so robust after all 😅

[@Kpiotr]

I remember reading on some forums that Porsche wanted to sue Sinn for copying their watch almost 1:1, but Helmut Sinn replied that they just used the same case maker :) The early Sinn 144 models indeed seem to have almost identical case, if not the same indeed, later they altered it, for instance in the lug shape department. The 144 is one of the mainstays of Sinn catalog (although the black versions are either rare or limited editions these days).

[@maccoretti51]

​@WatchCrunchOfficial PVD 5100's are very robust and patina beautifully. COATED 7750's (Mk1) chipped off it no time at all.

[@Builtbypete]

I have one of the originals and absolutely love it. Wears beautifully and is so clear to read.

[@lukewalker1051]

Great video and very cool, distinctive watch. Tom Cruise's attention to detail wanting the original watch is quite a statement and a small reason why he is among the elite actors in Hollywood.

[@MrMarioski]

Brilliant video, especially the intro. Took my breath away. I’ve now found myself in a loving feeling for Porsches. Really looking forward to owning a watch from Top Gun without having to put my budget in the danger zone. I still wonder what Iceman’s watch was in the original.

[@WatchCrunchOfficial]

Thanks so much for your kind feedback 😊

[@4oclockcrown882]

Great video! The PD is a long time favorite of mine. I have a Sinn 144 in my collection and love the 70/80’s vibe of the watch.

Hello. Just came across your video. I have this watch with the Lemania 5100 movement that I inherited from my Dad. Super special to me clearly. It’s running, but has a broken stem, needs a service, and perhaps a light/sympathetic restoration. Any recommendations on an AD or repair shop that would do a good job? Thanks, sir!

[@viva360]

Such a great watch! The LeJour might be the easy way to fuel the lust for me 😎

[@WatchCrunchOfficial]

Yeah they are still somewhat affordable 😊

[@timetowatch_francois]

Love the intro! 😄👍🏻 Thanks for putting this together. I haven’t seen “Maverick” yet and will keep an eye open for the watch for sure!

Cool video. Love pd watches. (One correction on your statements, pd and iwc made mostly titanium watches not steel……..)

[@markhamilton3215]

what are you saying ? , valjoux is still running STRONG after 50 years + its the screen accurate version

[@nathanwabre]

@@markhamilton3215 miss understanding here. The 7750 is an amazing movement that I love! It’s superb in my Sinn 103 St Sa for example 😍 The Lemania 5100 is so great too! The central minute hand is such a clever way to display the elapsed time, it add something special to the layout and I find it particularly suited to the Orfina/PD 7176s chronographs. 🙌 Personally I couldn’t care less about what version Tom has on its wrist for these two movies. 🤷‍♂️

[@fuxxx21]

@@WatchCrunchOfficial Is that your wrist in the wrist shots? If so, how big is your wrist, considering buying one.

[@anotherwatch]

Good video. I did not know much about this watch as I am fairly new to watch collecting. Great upload.

[@WatchCrunchOfficial]

Thanks!! It was fun researching this one 👍

[@fagunpathak4039]

Nice intro! and overall video too 👍🏻

[@jasonsahl4529]

I have always worn digital watches like G-shocks or Suunto, never had a taste for analog watches. Then I watched Top Gun again for the zillionth time, noticed this watch and I wanted one immediately. This peasant is not going to drop 4 digits on a watch so I looked around for something else that is aesthetically similar. Went with a Citizen Promaster Nighthawk, and literally the day I got it in the mail I heard about the Dan Henry 1972. So obviously I got one of those also.

[@jamesrbreeden3777]

I bought mine in 1976 when 39 PCAers went to the Factory and to Weissach.

The Victorinox “Air Boss” line has a black ion plated stainless steel chronograph with “engineer” style bracelet powered by a 7750 movement that’s worth a look.

[@garrymckay804]

This really made me grin - great vid, great watch - regret selling mine years ago

[@garrymckay804]

I'm showing my age a bit, but my original inspiration for buying a PD chrono was a UK show called "The Professionals". This ran from the late 1970's until the early '80's. One of the main characters wore a PO11 (from what I can make out) - still looks so current - the watch, definitely not the show! Awesome stuff. Love your channel.

[@robbstone5866]

Great video Max! Just wondering if the watch is yours and if so, where did you purchase it from? It looks great for it’s age. It makes me regret selling my Sinn Chronograph (the same one that you referenced) years ago. I guess there is always the newer Porsche Design chronograph if it is still available. Keep up the great work!! 👍

[@WatchCrunchOfficial]

Thanks Robb, yes it's mine. Pretty sure it's NOS 👍. My dealer found it across the world

The Porsche car company isn’t the same company the that makes watches. The watch company is Porsche Design. Ferdinand Porsche was one of the principle designers of the 911 while working for the family auto company. He left afterwards to start Porsche Design.

Damn that's an incredibly clean copy. This is my all time grail. The civilian version is the one I prefer as well. I do have a Sinn 157 which is about as close as you can get but I've always wanted the real deal.
