The Omega Speedmaster is my all time favorite and dream watch. I was going to buy a moon-swatch but I felt like I was not going to be happy with it because it was a bit the “real” speedmaster.
The moonswatch does a perfect job. It's not meant to be an alternative. It's meant for you to buy it, then realize you should have just gotten an actual speedmaster. It actually looks really nice, but the acrylic crystal and plastic case just makes me laugh at the $275 price tag. It's like a $50 watch, $100 at maximum.
Hi Adam! Hope ur having a nice day! Just wanna say i love your videos, I love watches, i love outdoor stuff, and cars. So your channel is build for me, thanks for everything! Cheers from Norway buddy!
The Speedmaster is my grail watch. I already own the Bulova Lunar like Adam does as well, and many others.. I bought the MoonSwatch on a recent Vegas trip, and honestly it didn't do it for me. I turned around and sold it for what I paid for it, just to pass it on without scalping. I'll keep saving for the real deal and be done.
I live in Fl I've been to the swatch store twice bought 2 they always have at least three colors for sale now, yes you can only buy one per day but I don't see why anyone would need to pay a premium nowadays
They purposely made it plastic. Even if they would have added stainless steel and mineral crystal the actual speedmaster owners and its resale price would have been cannibalised.
Happy Jewelers of Fullerton, California is Fantastic! Should one ever lightly scratch a hesalite (plastic) watch lens, simply put a little PolyWatch on it and polish at home. Its easy to do. Note, the original Speed Master had a hesalite lens. There are now Sapphire Crystal (sandwich) versions made as well that allow you to see the movement. Thank You for such a Fun Video!
I found the pink Moonswatch in a small jewellers in Christchurch in Dorset U.K. - he only had the one and I wanted the pink one ❤ I love it so much!! X
14:43 @Adam Swords it looks good with that strap. This kind of content is awesome for people who can’t afford the expensive watches, and can make their typical Swatch look different with that strap. I’ve had Swatch watches since I was teenager. But lost them all. By the way, how is the brand Tag Heuer
Cool video. I been wanting a Omega watch my self for some time.Speedmaster is a really nice watch and think its a good all the time watch. Recently saw these Omega/Swatch wasn't sure what to think of them. I do like the Red one and the all black one.
I would never buy a watch where the face can get scratched same with my sunglasses. Breitling and Costa's. I too am a fellow Rolex owner, I have the Seadweller. Good Content bro!
I have a speedmaster dark side of the moon team Alinghi and its a great watch. only concern as an "everything" watch is its water resistance. I wouldn't get near a body of water with it, since its water resistance is pretty low. Which is odd considering Alinghi is a sailing race team
It's absolutely fine to wash under the tap with a toothbrush and dish soap. I have had at least 10 Speedmasters the last few years ranging from 1960's 321's to the newer models and not have any problems at all with water getting in so it should be fine, specially if the watch is newer than for example 20 years old. The only thing is to probably not swim with it or operate the pushers when near water. I think some people are too scared about these things, Speedmasters are after all very well constructed and is rated to go down 50 meters, the water pressure at still 50 meters is no joke! Still, I would not actually swim with a watch unless it at least had a screw down crown(s) and was rated at least 100 meters.
Just got the new Speedmaster to go with my Seamaster, the perfect 2 watch garage lol. I love it because it's a beautiful looking watch that is not so expensive that I'm afraid to wear it. Mate I thought that older model for $2k was a steal, I paid 12k Aussie pesos for mine.
Swatch OWNS Omega, the “collaboration” is nothing more than a marketing ploy. They’re cheap plastic watches. They’re totally worth $100 price tag, but not $250.
I think that Im crayzy I'm not English bit I know from somewhere whoice and I toth I'm nuts and I remember from your wideos with luksury stuf whic you film for o man I forget in that time I remember you hawe both old Mercedes and try too make it good😂. It was 4ares ago :))
I know someone who scratched their Moonswatch "crystal" while simply putting it back into the box. The *_BOX_* was able to scratch that plastic POS. Spending that amount of money of these POS watches, is really stupid. You could have bought a much better watch for that money with an actual sapphire crystal.
@@AdamSwords There's an example of this happening to a TH-camr. Go watch... _"How_ _easy_ _is_ _to_ _destroy_ _a_ _MoonSwatch_ _&_ _how_ _this_ _review_ _cost_ _me_ _600_ _euros."_ Literally the "crystal" being scratched by the box. The MoonSwatch is overpriced trash.
Man, I wish I was there to grab a fantastic deal of $100 off a watch that's been marked up $300!!! Mazal!!! LOLz, just kidding, I know the market dictates they are above retail❤
@@AdamSwords ha ha cheers mate well it was over a year ago, maybe it’s trickier now? And yeah came away $600 up playing blackjack downtown. A rarity I know!!
a well know fact , omega are better than rolex they keep better time also they wore them instead of rolex to the moon lol my daily watch is the omega 300m speedmaster seaweed
The small one is called the Speedmaster Reduced. It's 38.5mm and it's an auto. It's cheaper than a Speedmaster Professional but there is a caveat. The movement is basically two movement stacked on top of each other. There's the base movement which is a simple basic movement with another movement on top doing the chronograph stuff. This makes the watch very hard to service and only few watchmakers would burn their hands on it. If you do find one willing to do it, it's gonna cost you.

I’m a watch bloke as well which I got from my old man. You could never have enough of them. The work watch, the Saturday shopping with the misses watch, the Sunday semi casual dress watch, the riding watch , the jeans & t shirt watch and the reasons keep coming. I love my Nixon watches, affordable. It’s also funny hearing Americans use metric with confidence 😁 This videos just shows how normal you are 🥇
Really enjoyable video Adam! And really nice of you to arrange for a discount for your audiences 👍 really enjoy all the Happy Jewelers videos from the PM channel so looking forward to see more of them!
Ironic you took our awful weather with you. We are having some nice weather for a few days the last of it. Just smashed out 17miles on the bike swearing like f, when i got back
You must get a Speedmaster Adam. Showing my age, l bought one new in 1972 (£69), and still wear it to this day! Still keeps amazing time. Never knew that HW's had so many staff! What a business! Take care M8, cheers, John.
I still can't get over the fact that you choose a Panerai over a Rolex Submariner when Michael offered you a watch! It's still hurt and i am not the one involved and later you bought a PVD black submariner you always choose badly you could have bought a factory Submariner for that price and you choose a Submariner you will loose money when /if you sell it because PVD ruined the value! ! Panerai Adam !!!!!
@Adam Swords I don't think that the Speedmaster would have the water resistance that you need. I know it's a cliche but the Submariner really is the GOAT one watch collection. Dress up, dress down it does everything
I agree, he mentioned the seado thing. If you tanked off that the speed master would not fair well. I also agree as much as I'm not the biggest fan, the submariner is probably the best 1 watch collection
I got my "everyday does it all watch" back in 2008, a 2003 GMT Master II. Risked it on eBay for £2k and took it straight to an AD for an insurance valuation. Luckily it was genuine. I've worn it almost everyday for the last 15years and only now am I starting to look at building a collection of budget friendly pieces to go with it, like the Seiko Turtle, Bulover Lunar etc
Defo get a Seamaster Adam, I will one day, likewise I need to reduce the collection sometime and would like just a couple of decent watches…. Keep livin the dream 🇬🇧🍺👍
Why didn't you leave the extra 2 you bought in the shop for someone to buy at retail. The extra price might not mean alot to you buy some people who would love one of those may on be able to afford retail.
I have heard that the plastic on the "bio" Speedy is harder to polish than the traditional plexi crystals, not sure if that's true? I have easily polished out VERY deep scratches from plexi just by using polywatch and hand polish. It can take 15-20 minutes if the scratch is very deep but I have not failed so far and I must have done at least 100 of the over the years.
There needs to be a video of YOU AND MICHAEL GOING CAMPING TOGETHER Please. It would break the internet
It would break Michael
@@AdamSwords😂😂😂 true
Oh that would never happen. Pm idea of roughing it is a room at the Hilton...and I agree no camping for me
I don't think Michael would...😅
Michael cannot Camp lol 😅
If you only knew what I promised our polisher. 😅 Thanks for stopping by! 🙌🏽
I had you on a hot mic, I know what you promised haha! Great seeing you guys as always.
The Omega Speedmaster is my all time favorite and dream watch.
I was going to buy a moon-swatch but I felt like I was not going to be happy with it because it was a bit the “real” speedmaster.
It actually is crap. The swatch blancpain is also. These collabs are hype, but if you save money for some time, buy the real deal.

i have a Speedmaster myself, i think its the best one Watch collection you can get...you got good taste Adam, love your Videos and love Michael!
Hi Adam! Hope ur having a nice day! Just wanna say i love your videos, I love watches, i love outdoor stuff, and cars. So your channel is build for me, thanks for everything! Cheers from Norway buddy!
The scratched added to the value....

way to go! That bulova is an actual moonswatch and miles better than the swatch one.
I have an Omega Seamaster with date complication that my Dad bought from new, and gave me, which I think dates from around the mid 1960s.
That’s so cool!
20:05 PLEASE could you share the details of that one piece elastic strap? Never seen one like that
Love how you mix it up, some adventure trips, some day to day things, the guys at Happy Jewelers,‘definitely added to, your videos.
I live in Fl I've been to the swatch store twice bought 2 they always have at least three colors for sale now, yes you can only buy one per day but I don't see why anyone would need to pay a premium nowadays
Nice!
Who wouldn't be "HAPPY" to win this watch.😀
I wonder the S logo at the center. Did he polish that too?
It’s funny , i still can get these watches at retail price . Everytine i go to this swatch store it’s there .
That’s awesome. I’ve never been so lucky and I tried hard in the US.
A friend is a loving companion at all times.
They purposely made it plastic. Even if they would have added stainless steel and mineral crystal the actual speedmaster owners and its resale price would have been cannibalised.
20:33 lol bezel is also gone.
You are spot on! A perfectly good watch ruined.

Definitely, Speedy is the best watch ever made and can definitely be a great contender for one watch collection!
not if you plan to live the active and sporty life that adam does. You cant take it in the water and stuff. gotta extend collection to 2 pieces.
I would never buy a watch where the face can get scratched same with my sunglasses. Breitling and Costa's. I too am a fellow Rolex owner, I have the Seadweller. Good Content bro!
Thanks Tony!
That was hard to watch. If they couldn't get the scratch out, I would have asked for an Omega Snoopy Apollo XIII.

I love it because it's a beautiful looking watch that is not so expensive that I'm afraid to wear it.
Mate I thought that older model for $2k was a steal, I paid 12k Aussie pesos for mine.
Congrats mate. I’m seriously considering it
Good to see you back in the VW!!
very good, excellent video.
Thank you very much!
Polywatch for a couple of bucks and you can fix scratches at home
Adam, with your love of big watches you should take the Marathon Adanac GPD for a spin.
The modded Rolex, did you sell it Adam?
Yup :)
You have earned a subscriber ❤
Thank you! Welcome :)
20;20 - your watch is a bit slimmer now :)
I keep begging producer Michael to review watches like omega . We need an Adam Swords watch review video
Speedy doesn't have the water resistance that you would need. Look into it mate.
Go for it, Adam! One and done or not!
Omega are part of the Swatch group!
Swatch OWNS Omega, the “collaboration” is nothing more than a marketing ploy. They’re cheap plastic watches. They’re totally worth $100 price tag, but not $250.
Blancpain is also owned by Swatch. LOL They didn’t partner up with Swatch… when the parent company owns you.
I think that Im crayzy I'm not English bit I know from somewhere whoice and I toth I'm nuts and I remember from your wideos with luksury stuf whic you film for o man I forget in that time I remember you hawe both old Mercedes and try too make it good😂. It was 4ares ago :))
swatch own omega (and many many more) just for context for the collab
I have one these are very very easily scratched. Even straight from the store.
Im actually working on getting a moon watch myself. They are gorgeous. Now Imagine if Rolex did this! But it will never happen
Rolex, king of marketing would never intentionally devalue their brand
Proper speedy all the way
It’s not why would Omega partner with Swatch - Swatch are the parent company of Omega!
When your a watch dealer and don’t know The Swatch group owns Omega and Blancpain along with bunch others
Yeah, I was slightly surprised they didn't know.
Speedmaster might not be a good one and done if you do watersports, I'd go with a Seamaster or Planet Ocean
Lovely episode Cheesecake!
we have them here from 65 usd up to 250 usd
I bet there's less than 0.5 mm of crystal left on that watch 😂 fun video though
Thumbs up for me 👍👍
Stop being tight and buy it !! Life short 😂
You do know just closing the box on it will do that
That might be worth a flight out to la from England 🇬🇧 Shakespeare country to get a 1000 dollars off a rolex 😅
What is the guy talking about . Swatch owns omega and that’s why they partnered up with swatch
Good man

Swatch own’s Omega..and Blancpain and more😊
Are you related to the truegeordie?
$500 for a moon watch? You can get them for $350 now.
Swatch colaboration with Omega becouse Swatch Group buying the Omega Company. The same with the Blancpain. That's the reason.
Not that hard. I got two in Las Vegas no problem.
That’s awesome! I’ve looked every time I’ve been to vegas and had no luck. Hope you did some gambling too that trip!
@@AdamSwords ha ha cheers mate well it was over a year ago, maybe it’s trickier now? And yeah came away $600 up playing blackjack downtown. A rarity I know!!
Damn what a trip!
Shame on you Adam to have an Apple watch.
a well know fact , omega are better than rolex they keep better time also they wore them instead of rolex to the moon lol my daily watch is the omega 300m speedmaster seaweed
Omega produced a machine parts and equipment to a Space Shuttle. But first real watch in space is Bulova Moonwatch becouse the astronaut wearing it.
The Omega Speedy is the first watch on the moon.
And I don’t think Juri Gagarin wore a Bulova when he was the first man in space several years before.
@@carrerau7138 i don't say Gagarin wore a Bulova. Check it out.
The attraction to the Speedypro is that it was the first watch worn on the moon. It was worn by Buzz Aldrin.
Then you need to move to upper or mid Florida...
Just buy that bloody watch, mate!

yea not like Omega has a choice if Swatch wants to do something like this :)
why?@@badboy4lyf2

People who don't know much about watches:
Why would Omega or Blancpain cheapen themselves by associating with Swatch?

Because we OWN them

Why didn't you leave the extra 2 you bought in the shop for someone to buy at retail. The extra price might not mean alot to you buy some people who would love one of those may on be able to afford retail.
Because Happy Jewelers are a business and have employees to pay and lights to keep switched on.
The original shop in Geneva not happy jewellers. No need to buy 2 extra to take back to America so that they can be sold over retail.
Because it would cost a lot more than $250 to fly from OC to Geneva to get one.
