Well explained John ,I buy my watches 4 me and not 4 "validation " that's the true words of "watch collector" because be able to have both "name brand" and "quality brands" your perspective is very much valued over the rest, great collection John 👍🏿
Perfect collection. I have the pd1701 but they changed the bezel. Now the numbers are vertical, tachymeter starts at 400, and the numbers have dashes instead of dots. The bezel looks less like omegas but I still like it. I wish they still had the old bezel avaible. I think they changed it due to legal issues possibly
Definately a great and versatility collection. And I follow your message about having a watch because you like it and felt it comfortable and fits well to you. Thanks for sharing with us. Best regards from Brazil!
Great, collection! I watched your review of the PD-1692, and decided to buy it, I love the watch looks and its wearability, I also owns the Air king 116900 and I always found that it was odd that the 5 min marker didn't have the 05; I definetly agree with you, people should wear the watches they like, not for the likes of their peers. I also really enjoy the fact of being able to walk in any NYC street without the strees of being robbed of a Rolex.
Great collection. The SN020-G2 in particular looks great. Wish these companies had better logo/branding design as they seem to be making some fantastic watches.
My modest collection is in need of chronograph and My eye is fixed on the PD speedmaster V3. Since taxes on imported products are too high here (Argentina), I'm justo waiting for the Best Moment to go for it.
Love your content my man. Do you still have this 6-piece collection, or do you solely have the BB58 now? What item is next for you? Looking for some inspiration… thanks
Amazing collection however i have a ? I bought a tiffany blue Daytona besutiful watch but after using the tachymeter a few times and upon resetting the second hand the vk63 movement returns the needle so violently to the 12 o clock position that the needle now has a slight curve at the opposite end😮
Sorry if I missed a comment on this elsewhere, but why did you sell the Pagani Daytona homage? Was it because you picked up the Speedmaster homage? Thanks for the videos, I actually love the frequent SOTC vids.
Thank you for watching. I reviewed the Cronos L6015 and liked it so much I decided to add it to my collection. I prefer to keep to 6 pieces, so decided to sell my PD-1727. I am now considering replacing my PD-1713 with a blue Cronos L6016 Explorer homage as I really like it. Regards, #WR4K
Thank you for watching Lewis. I record all my videos in one take; talking for circa 20 minutes about a watch. In this case taking for 26 minutes straight about my collection. Therefore there are a plethora of verbal, and visual mistakes in my 355 videos. Unlike other watch channels I do not edit out mistakes to appear flawless, I leave them in. Regards, #WR4K
My tastes have also changed, the one overlooked measurement is the Lug to Lug and the case shape on how it curves. Anything over 48mm lug to lug is to big in my opinion. My favourite watch of yours is the Airking
Hey John how have you been ?? I own the San Martin black Bay 58 blue version 3. And always liked it a lot. Saw you have the new version, I don't like it as much . In my opinion that cronos blue Rolex homage looks much better than the San Martin blue watch. Now I want to sell my San Martin with the pt5000 and buy this cronos blue watch. I own two other cronos Rolex homages the one with the black dial black bezel and also the black dial green bezel and love them both equally as they are my favorite watches. Now I want to buy this blue dial with Blue Bezel cronos because of you. Stop costing me more money. LOL
Again, a pleasure to listen to your detailed commentary. Fingers crossed on the strapsco bracelet! Out of curiosity why cap yourself at just 6... completely my opinion but maybe you should move the cap up to 12 😁
Thank you for watching Tony. Glad you enjoyed it. Over the years I have experimented with larger collections such as 12. I found more pieces divides the feel good factor, rather than multiplying it. I prefer having less pieces and wearing them more frequently. The other reason is the Cronos L6016 Explorer homage is the only watch I fancy adding at the moment. Regards, #WR4K
John I want to see your new collection I know you probably sold some watches and receive some. So I wanted to see what is your new collection for January 2023. I hate when I buy watches that you recommend and then next thing you know you sell them. LOL ray 🇺🇸
John I just read from another comment that you sold all your watches and now just have the black Bay 58. Is that true and if so why? I thought you loved all these other watches in this collection. Please tell me. Ray
Yes, I sold all these watches and bought a Black Bay 58. I then sold that and bought a Rolex Datejust 41, and also added a San Martin SN006-G Milsub. See my latest SOTC review just published now. I just fancied a change. Regards, #WR4K
Absolutely love you're reviews and homage angle!! I would love to see you design you're own watch I'd definitely be a customer. Keep up the fantastic reviews and have a great day. You're Irish mate 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Thank you for watching. I prefer to wear my bracelets loose, and found the Uncle Seiko bracelet to be slightly tight for my liking. Therefore I prefer to wear it on this XL Hirsch strap as it has plenty of length. I will be reviewing the Strapsco Speedmaster bracelet soon (see link below). Hopefully that will be longer than the Uncle Seiko one. Regards, #WR4K strapsco.com/product/replacement-bracelet-for-omega-speedmaster-professional/
@@watchreviews4k I would like to ask what draws you to the Explorer homage instead of the Explorer II homage? I have been eyeing both. I have a 6.5 inch wrist but have yet to try anything smaller than a 40mm. Just going for maximum feel-good factor.
Thanks buddy, thouroughly enjoy your reviews. I own the Pagani Speedmaster Design V3 myself, and I couldn’t agree more. Lovely watch, beautiful hands, movement & dials. Excellent homage. Also, the clasp on the bracelet DOES have sharp edges, though the bracelet on mine does not. I have tried it on other bracelets, rubber, leather & nato straps, but it looks best on the original bracelet, in my opinion. So, I’ll have to file away the sharp edges. Finally, it’s built like a tank; I have taken it running, ocean swimming & playing golf; all using the chrono, and the movement works great. About 20 sec slow, over a month. Indeed #champagnewatchforlemonademoney
Always a consummately curated collection. The SN020 -G : if only San Martin release this in a 36/37 for the slimmer wristed ( but with 20mm lugs , unlike their BB36 homage with 19mm lugs (?)).
Thank you for watching Jay. Changing the 021 from 20mm to 19mm was an odd choice. I don't think San Martin will make a 36 or 37mm version of the 020 with Mercedes hands due to the popularity of the 021 with Snowflake hands. Regards, #WR4K
WR4K why don't you just have 6 blue dial watches, you have 2 and your thinking of buying a third blue dial watch. I love black dials like you love blue dials, l do have 2 blue dial watches but not my favourites.
San Martin is killing it! The one and only thing that prevents me from buying is the Branding on the dial. I wish they would get away from the badge looking logo and do something more traditional
Hello my watch friend. Did you find out if the strapco bracelet fits this Speedmaster nicely cuz I own this watch also because of you. You cost me a lot of money . stop doing the videos. LOL 😆
