    Only one girl ever spotted my watch in Fayetteville Arkansas. She noticed the IWC logo and said “that’s a really nice brand!” I thanked her and ordered my food. I doubt anyone will ever do that again.

      Same. When I smashed my white dial Speedy Reduced Omega said it was so old they had to send it back to Switzerland for repair and it would take 3 months. I needed a watch I decided to get one with a different colour dial so I bought a blue dial Planet Ocean. Then, after the watch came back, I decided I needed a watch without a numbered bezel, so I bought a blue dial Aqua Terra because I now love blue dials. Then I decided I needed a black dial watch so I bought a Rolex Explorer. If only I hadn’t smashed my Speedy…

      6 months.
      To put a bezel back on.
      Not long after that, I sent it in for service, they wanted to charge me more than I had paid for the watch brand new, claimed I NEEDED to change the sapphire glass (in perfect condition) AND bracelet, told them I only wanted them to service the movement, they told me "i didn't get to choose what was serviced" that it had to either agree to everything or refuse the service entirely.
      So I sent it one more time, different Omega service center. They quoted me for half the amount of the first quote... didn't even mention the sapphire or bracelet.
      This only made me trust Omega service even less.
      Ever since that day, when I need it serviced, I just buy a movement on ebay and have a local watchmaker service it.

    Agreed. Concerning cost of servicing, I paid $63 for a new in the box Omega Seamaster 120 in Switzerland in 1971. Now Omega will no longer provide parts to independent watchmakers. Last I checked the price, service at an Omega authorized service center is $1200 plus parts. If they even have the parts. It's on display in my watch box and I wear Citizen, Seiko, or Casio. I find myself wearing the $70 Casio Wavecepter Tough Solar ani-digi the most. The time is always spot on and it's a good kitchen timer.

    Pressure in water is not just the hydrostatic pressure, but when in motion, the dynamic pressure. Just like the Bernouli phenomenon that causes the flow of air over a wing to lift a jumbo; moving your arms in the water will subject your watch to pressure greater (and lesser) than the depth the watch is at. That's why there is an ISO standard for dive watches that seems overkill given the depths most recreational divers reach.

    The thing with water resistance is it's never about the watch being crushed at 51 meters if it's only rated at 50. It's the gaskets at the crown, backplate or buttons if it has them. And even then it's not like you have to actually DIVE to 50 meters to experience 5 Bar water pressure. Just washing hands CAN compromise weaker gaskets, I googled standard tap water pressure in my country, Average is 3-4 BAR but you can find 5-6 Bar of water pressure coming out of your TAP at home.
    Riding a jetski, and falling off, hitting the water at xx MPH? Guess what that can be quite the pressure if it hits your watch at the right angle. Or getting hit by a 2 meter wave when in the sea swimming. Just a few examples

    The depth confusion comes from static vs mobile usage. A watch that is marked at 50m is rated for a static 50m of pressure.
    But if you swim with it, the pressure on the watch as you move your arms through the water can increase significantly, and you’re now dealing with more than a static 50m rating.
    As it’s impossible to predict how someone will move / use / swim with a watch, they always quote the static pressure.
    But to swim safely, the 50m is on the cusp, it’s probably ok if you use it in the bath lol.

    Hey Andrew you’re so correct about everything you have said here about watches. I’m guilty as charged as I have over 70 watches of all types models metals from as low is 3k to 200k. I’m not sure if there’s a fix for this. Keep up with these great videos. Cheers 🥂

    About that 50m / 5ATM / 5BAR designation:
    The best way to define this is “casual swimming.”
    And what is “casual swimming”?
    Simple. People who don’t go to a swimming pool more than once a week, who usually stay in the shallow end to splash around with their kids, who don’t use the diving board, who dog paddle, who like to wade in the beach or just cool off. That’s the sort of folk who can wear a 5ATM-rated watch without worrying about it.
    OTOH: if you swim as a regular form of exercise, if you indulge in water polo or like to dive off the diving board more than once a week, then a watch with 10ATM is more up your speed. If you want to wear a watch in a hot tub / jacuzzi, then a G-Shock or an ISO-6425-rated dive watch is recommended because they’re known to withstand high water temperatures.

      Or a Vostok Komandirskie. As it's rated to 2 atmospheres it will tolerate all that swimming and hot water. You might have to change the strap though🤣

    I like the watch I got from MAMACOO. That rubber strap combo looks really cool! Been wearing it since last year and love every minute of it.

    People say the Apple Watch isn’t a watch because it’s better described as a white good, or a portable electronic device, than a “timepiece”. We have categories for a reason.

    My swimming pool has a magical portal which transports me to the Mariana Trench. This, is why a 50m watch is questionable for me. The portal works on random, and hence I bought a 300m diver to swim in my pms’ing pool 💯

    Now I know that worrying about dying while wearing a good watch (or at least a non-embarrassing watch), is a false value. :)
    But I would probably get into watch collecting, if the only alternative was getting up close and personal with alligators.

    I've recently began my obsession as a watch collector. And i must say- out of all the luxury brands I've been researching, for me the AMZWATCH's watches are the most intriguing.

    May sound Impossible nowadays, but my grandfather actually owned one watch his entire life. By the time I got it, it had its case exchanged for that of a different model and its dial wiped clean

    You will break a 50 metre watch by swimming with it, in the pool...as the physical pressure you create by jumping in the pool, or even the action of swimming with it, could easily pop open the crown or pop the back off...or overload the water resistance.

    • @andrewallen9993
      @andrewallen9993 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      From practical experience I KNOW that sort of use won't let water into a Vostok Komandirskie rated at 20 metres waterproof according to the back of my brass one.

    A water resistant watch is tested at rated depths for only 10 minutes. So what happens if you swim 11 minutes? No one really knows for certain.

    I choose automatics because I have had so many quartz watches and the batteries dying or going bad destroying the internals. I want a spring drive, but they are not in my price range, so...regular Seikos and Orients are where I like to be. Looking to pick up the red faced Kamasu next. I keep wincing when you or any other watch guy says "it's a really affordable choice at $X,XXX."

    • @realistic_delinquent
      @realistic_delinquent 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I daily the red dial Kamasu. It’s good, but the bracelet’s not. I got a black strap with red stitching for it.

    Love your last point about never needs to worry about a watch collection growing too big, because by that time, your wife will divorce you and take half of them away. So, when my wife asks me why I want to buy another watch as I already have too many, I’ll ask her whether she is planning to divorce me. If she says no, then my watch collection is obvious not too big yet. If she says yes, then I better buy two because she is going to take one away from me anyway.
