That white dial seamaster is so good! Last time I was in the boutique, I went to look at the white dial speedy… then I saw the No Time To Die seamaster. 🤤
Congrats on getting your grail! Well done video. Were you at all tempted by the new white speedy for similar price? Lot more functionality in yours with the date and the functional dual time.
Congratulations on your purchase. I don't yet own a Speedy - one reason being I just can't decide which one I want. This one is HIGH on my list, but it's competing with a few others, including the new FOIS, or a '57. You found a great example here. The previous owner must have never worn it.
Thank you! If they wore it, I doubt they wore it much. I haven’t seen the FOIS in person yet, but I did try on a blue dial 57’ right next to this one. It’s a gorgeous watch, but this one took it for me. Proportions are perfect on my wrist and I love all the different materials… but it didn’t beat the 57’ by much! It really is worth trying them on next to each other if you can.
I’ve loved this watch from the day it was released. The dial, the case, the strap wrk together perfectly. I got to try it on at an AD and my wallet was relieved when I concluded that it was a little too big for my wrist. Anything over 15 mm, I’ve discovered is just too thick for me.
Just one comment on price and spending money on watches: You bought it used, and you got a great price. That money isn’t lost - you can get it back, or most of it, if needed. In the meantime, you get to enjoy a great watch. You probably already know this, but a lot of non-watch people don’t understand this point. As long as you don’t overpay, you haven’t really "lost" the money.
My grail watch as well. Great video presenting this masterpiece. Anyone else who think the right dot at the 12-o' clock index is farther away from the marker than the left dot? Trick of the light, perhaps...
Can you tell me if this watch still use traditional spring bar (two tiny spring on each end) to hold the strap? If you compare this with Panerai, the later uses more secure way to hold the strap in place because they don't use "Spring" bars, instead, they use a special mechanism to attach the strap and the watch body together.
Thanks brother! Got scared of the ceramic material getting broken into pieces. Hats off and congrats on the watch! Welcome me in the grey side club soon bud! 🤝
I’m not sure, but I doubt there are any watches from any major manufacturer that’s made of 100% Swiss parts. To be considered “Swiss Made” the watch just has to be assembled in Switzerland and 60% of the production cost needs to be generated in Switzerland (there may be some other qualifications, but that’s the gist of it). Needless to say… the vast majority of “Swiss Made” watches have plenty of parts that come from other countries.
Congrats on that beauty! Excellent camerawork as well!
Thank you!
you are saving money by buying this watch, words we watch enthusiasts love to say
I mean... I would've been losing money by NOT buying it! 😂
@MikeyTown13 when i both my zeppelin watch, it was buy one get another for 50% off, i was practically saving money by doing so
No doubt!
Beautiful! Congratulations on your new watch.
Thank you!
Happy for you man. Love to see the excitement 😊
Thank you!
Beautiful watch! I tried it on a few times, it has to be seen in real life. The case is one of a kind, and an easy to read, fantastic dial. Congrats!
Thank you!
It’s hard to beat this watch in person.
Absolutely beautiful watch. 🎉
Thank you!

Congratulations on getting a speedy! I love to get a vintage pie pan Omega.
Oh boy… those pie pan dials are dreamy!
Absolutely beautiful 😮😍✨
Couldn’t agree more! 😊
It is a very nice watch I had on my list to BUT since I saw the new white dial Seamaster there is no other watch I need 🤩
That white dial seamaster is so good!

Yes… very tempted!
Knew I’d never regret this one, though.
That is just beautiful!
Agreed… and thank you!
beautiful piece mate
Thank you! Much appreciated!

That's so hot. I love speed masters. Alas will never own one. 😢
Never say never!

Anyone else who think the right dot at the 12-o' clock index is farther away from the marker than the left dot? Trick of the light, perhaps...
It’s a camera angle thing.
I thought that at first, but when you move different directions they switch places, so to speak.
@@MikeyTown13 Good to hear - such a flaw would have been unlike Omega. Enjoy your fine watch, sir
Beautiful. What about the moonshine gold one? Saw the hodinkee video on it. 🤤
It’s really good… and that meteorite dial is stunning! This one just fits into my lifestyle better.

If you compare this with Panerai, the later uses more secure way to hold the strap in place because they don't use "Spring" bars, instead, they use a special mechanism to attach the strap and the watch body together.
Yes, this uses spring bars. Pretty sure that Panerai is the only company using strap screws/tubes regularly.
Love it! What is the actual model no.?
Here’s the Omega reference number:
311.93.44.51.99.002
Watch still with you buddy? Hows the ceramic bezel? Is it durable? Planning on buying brother 😊
Absolutely... this one will never leave me!
The case and bezel are both incredibly durable... zero scratches or scuffs.
Thanks brother! Got scared of the ceramic material getting broken into pieces. Hats off and congrats on the watch! Welcome me in the grey side club soon bud! 🤝
You’re gonna love it!!!!!
@@MikeyTown13 for sure!! Haven't seen one. So definitely the goosebumps will be there 👌
Beautiful watch great video. Do you kno if omega is made 100 percent Swiss parts?? They say Tudor is made with some parts from china
I’m not sure, but I doubt there are any watches from any major manufacturer that’s made of 100% Swiss parts.

Omega are like bmw you can get a nice deal on the secondary market.
not worth it. maybe for 2k
Not even worth $200.
My phone tells better time! 😂
Everyone has different budgets.
2K? Wild, my budget Speedmaster Racing 40MM was 3.1K. This masterpiece is a baller watch.
