You're going to love it! Let me know how it goes (either here or on IG at The_Timist_IG) I'm curious to hear your impressions! Thanks for watching as well and for taking the time to leave a comment :)

That's so awesome to hear Manny - truly inspiring stuff! I'm James, I had an uncle named Tim haha! Your passion for watches is so infectious, and I'm glad you're finding a creative outlet that you love. Here's hoping we meet up one day my friend - thanks for listening!

@thetimist sorry for the fuck up James, don't know why my mind used Tim (maybe the podcast name while not paying attention), worst part is that we've talked on Insta so I should've known better, I hope it doesn't diminish the thank you!!!

Nah come on 😄 of course not! I found it funny and figured you’d laugh too! All good my friend!

Haha that’s the best way to go about doing anything 🙌 thanks for the support!

Thanks so much - I really appreciate you saying so 🤗

I'm glad you enjoyed the episode - Matt is a renaissance man full of insights and passion for what he does 👍

Fully agree on all accounts! Matt's fantastic!

Glad you found it an enjoyable episode and that you liked learning more about Typsim - Matt deserves the best indeed, thanks for taking the time!

I'm so happy to hear that! Matt is an incredibly talented person and a fantastic guest - I'm thrilled to have had him on the podcast!

I fully agree! Such a capable and cool piece!

Glad you enjoyed it - thanks for the support!

Very kind of you to say - thank you my friend! But also a HUGE congrats to you on your call, even better it's an iconic timepiece that you can tie to your birthday (happy birthday!) and make some awesome memories with! Well done, thanks for taking the time to leave me a message here. Reach out on Instagram at The_Timist_IG and send me photos when you pick up your watch!

Very kind of you to say! Expect to see more of Adam on the podcast in the future :)

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you - I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Too kind 🤝 very much appreciated!

Had a blast podcasting!

Too kind of you 🤗

Back indeed, thanks for watching! Can’t find merch because there isn’t any 😄

@ there isn’t any yet**

Haha touche!

Podcast Studio, please 😆

I was hoping someone would see some of the scenes and be reminded of the beauty and awesomeness that is Italy! Congrats on the IWC, I walked away with a vintage Longines Conquest from a little shop in Venice! I'll probably make a video on it in the future haha! Cheers, and thanks for watching and for taking the time to drop a comment!

I'll be sure to pass your well wishes to Conor the next time I see him :)

Thanks my friend! I couldn’t agree more 🤝

Far too kind of you to say 😄 thanks for watching!

I’m glad you enjoyed it! The Aikon really made for a great companion watch 🤝

I just assumed you'd think the whole "go out into the world exploring" bit would be such a hassle :)

@@thetimist To be fair it is!

See? I know you 😄

I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Even happier to hear you got "the call" 🙌 it's little events such as these that stick with us, and when you meet others that share the same passion for the hobby, there's an instant connection that happens because they "get it." I'm still enjoying the Snoopy, and I hope you are as well my friend 🤝

Thank you for watching and your kind words - your support of Alena’s journey means a lot I’m sure 👍

I did indeed! Keep in mind though that this was a few years ago and I had to monitor the site like a hawk since they were perpetually out of stock 👍

@ completely aware. Reason I asked , when buying at the Breitling boutique they didn’t give me a pouch. So I’m thinking I would show them this

I fully understand, believe me 🤗 let me know if you pick one up!

I get where you're coming from - I do - but recently I was listening to an episode of StarTalk with Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson. One of his guests joined him to discuss all the exciting research and projects tied to the Mission to Mars program. That in and of itself got me excited and made me believe in the future of the space program!

That's not a question that I am personally qualified to answer as I don't work within the watch industry itself - although if I had to venture a guess, with additional certifications in brand-specific service centers (and polishing) I would imagine that yearly average would go up. I have first hand testimony having spoken with a 24 year-old watchmaker in Italy who was offered something close to 6 figures, plus housing in Switzerland by a watch brand that literally everyone in the world would recognize. He turned it down so that he could focus on his family's watchmaking business in Venice. So I suppose it depends on region, speciality, certifications, and the market at that time.

Not that I have noticed, personally 👍

Big congrats my friend - it's one of the most thrilling and epic calls a watch enthusiast can receive - enjoy it!

That little touch of red makes such a big difference, in the best way possible 👍

Yeah, and I’m even happier with the upgrade made in the Mk2 dial.

@@davidofglenbrook4487 Same, I like the Mk2 better as well! 👍

A GMT in this case with this dial would have been amazing 🤝who knows what the future holds though?

My video should have elucidated this but in short - it celebrates the human spirit of ingenuity and our drive to survive, it’s tied to NASA, it’s rare and therefore near impossible to find, and it’s the first watch from Omega to have a case back animation 👍

Thanks for the kind words 🙏 still very cool that you managed to pick one up at not the astronomical prices they once were! Glad you’re local to Seattle and happy you’re working with Timeworks 🤗 they’re just amazing people!

@ I love it. Been wearing it everyday this weekend. Such a fun watch. I’m going to go to Time Works today to get the bracelet. The strap, like everyone says, is way too stiff.

@ Nice! Congrats again 🎉 the strap isn’t bad, it actually breaks in fairly quickly if you power through it 👍

I’m curious how you’re even watching this video 😆

Oh very interesting! The SD feels a lot more capable and sturdy, not rush the Pepsi doesn’t, but it’s just different somehow 😄

I’m so glad you enjoyed your class time, and for taking a moment to watch my video 🤗 I did my best to capture audio but I also found a tutorial on this very movement which helped refresh my terminology 😃

For a normal Speedmaster, maybe 15, perhaps 20 if you have a great relationship. For a Snoopy, that’s not even a conversation.

Thanks 👍 I appreciate you taking the time to watch!

Absolutely - thanks for watching!

Unfortunately looking over their courses I don’t believe that’s something on offer. I know that timing and lubrication is however. The best thing to do is to look over their site, I included a link in the video description 👍

Thanks so much! I appreciate you taking the time to drop a comment!

Haha well I don't know about that - but I appreciate the sentiment :)

I'm glad you think so!

Well that's some high praise! You should join in for the next class, it'll change your whole perspective on watches :)

Oh how exciting! Wishing you much success on this new chapter! I will add that I have a two more videos that you may get some value out of watching - one where I visit the Ben Bridge watchmaking service department, and the other video is with Alena as she shares her story on becoming a watchmaker :)

@@thetimist I saw the "world premier" Ben Bridge Watchmaking video. It was that video that prompted me to email BB in the first place. Was VERY impressed with their operation. I definitely could see myself working there in the future!

@@SOPHIAFLYGIRL Oh wow! OK, you've just made my day saying that! That is quite literally one of the main reasons why I made that video in the first place! Since today is my birthday, I'll consider that a proper gift - I'm rooting for you, and I hope to hear back from you when you get hired 🤝

@@thetimist Happy birthday!!! Thank you for your kind words!!

@@SOPHIAFLYGIRLOf course! Message me on Instagram @ the_timist_IG I’d like to see if I can introduce you to some of the watchmakers at Ben Bridge 👍

Would love to find a solid Cartier book with historical info and context to add to the horology collection - as for the Ralph Lauren Tank, yes I do believe it was a proper Cartier and not his homage, at least from the research I was able to explore 👍 thanks for the info!

Haha you're very kind - thank you for the support, it really means a lot! I don't post nearly enough to satisfy the algorithm but when I do post I want it to be of some worth to folks - so thank you for the sub my friend 🤝
