There is better value to be found in the Omega catalogue?
Lets discuss the new Moonphase Meteorite dial speed master in stainless steel. This watch has a new calibre with 60 hours of power reserve and comes in at a cool €19,000.
Do you think it is worth it for a non precious metal watch? let me know in the comments below.

Seiko Mod, second times a charm
Переглядів 59014 днів тому
I built a Seiko / explorer GMT from a NH-34a movement. I had to build this watch twice as the first one broke. The GMT and date function stopped working so I had to replace the movement. A dial foot also broke off the first dial. So, I decided to buy another but this time without the seiko logo. This video is also without voice over for a bit of relaxation with some chilled music for your enjoy...

    I like SU, but Moser collaboration was a kick in the teeth. I spent an hour at work waiting, then watching the stupid video with the three of them padding their egos and drinking champagne and then only to find that the $600 watch isn’t attainable without buying the $60,000 watch. Only someone with a lot of disposable income is going to buy two very similar watches. The salmon watch was ok. But the egg thing?!?! Who thought of that?! I’ve had several opportunities to buy a watch. I have still kept my money in my pocket. Let’s see what comes up next.

    I liked this video. However, I think you miss one aspect of watch buying. People don’t buy Rolex because of innovation- they buy them for their history and heritage - the pride that comes with owning a Rolex or a Patek etc. Flexing on your coworkers/neighbors will never really go out of style. Great video!

    The biggest point that many are missing is the scale of economy for a small microbrand (that suddenly now has to deal with a global demand, which may not last forever) vs a large corporation like the Swatch Group. I think it's impressive that Richard has managed to keep the demand up for his watches, while also introducing the 03 Series that compete with Tissot PRX Chronograph (but much more fun). Overproducing watches is a risk that larger brands can take as they can sell their old stock to grey market dealers at cost, while continuing to produce new watches. Smaller brands like SU have to take things slow, grow progressively. The Series 01 are still in the catalogue, but now we have the option to spend more and buy a truly high-quality chronograph if wanted. And according to the brand, majority of their buyers are the wealthy collectors. As a business, it's a good move for them to address both the entry and the mid-range market, otherwise they'd be caged in an entry level position. That's great for the buyers, but those buyers don't always return to buy more. It also doesn't help the business grow (which eventually leads to brands making shit watches just to keep the lights on). But I do agree with you that the communication could have been better.

  • @sgroarke
    @sgroarke 4 місяці тому

    I bought a Mint Choc Chip. And, to be clear, I like it! It is fun and different and...... I would not go back and buy another. It came with a strap so short it barely let me do it up. Yes, my wrists are not the tiniest ever seen, but I have never bought a watch (and I have 30 or so!) with a strap THAT short before! Then the crown: too small. Way way too small - remember this is a manual wind watch, so you need to grip that thing and wind it up. And what worries me is that neither of those things is hugely subjective. If I didn't like the colour or the dial or the finish etc - that is indeed debatable. But strap too short and crown too small? They survey you after purchase. I mentioned these things and their response? They did not agree. So there it remains! Nice looking, but not ever going for a second one. Regardless of how fun it looks.

  • @watch_commission

    I disagree. He is building the brand, and is improving the quality with every step, in line with notoriety. You don’t know where he wants to go, you make assumptions. Staying dirt cheap forever when producing low numbers is not a path to success. He can’t ramp up numbers, he’d never be able to compete on price once he gets bigger. So he has to do it on quality and perceived brand value. Sorry you feel left behind, but being liked by a bunch of influencer gate-keepers is not a viable business plan.

    • @watch-this-official

      That is exactly the opposite to what I said, I totally agree that staying below €1000 is not a recipe for success. I would love to think I could influence anyone, but I doubt SU even know I exist. I don’t feel left behind at all. What I said was that some of the comments I have seen online seem to show that some people feel left behind. I totally agree with you about the need to create more upscale options but the messaging of this is what I feel has been lost in all the noise. But I appreciate your perspective on this.

      Hmm… isn’t it just a series 01 with a different movement for 3x the price? Or what am I missing? Also, look at todays CW collab launch at €300 cheaper than the SU. SU need to offer more to justify the price increase, surely. But I do agree that having model availability would help so everyone can access the models they want.

      @jamietyoung on the surface it is very like the series 001 and I think that has been an interesting choice.

I agree that CW does look like a far better offering at this new price point in terms of spec and finishing.

      ​@watch-this-official my grandfather had a speedy and without a doubt in my mind is the best watch I have EVER held in my life if you aren't accustomed to having high end nit-picking views on watches. The build is fantastic and it is amazing definitely buy if you have the money

      The money part is the only obstacle 😂, but yes for sure it is on the list.

      It is very cool and angular, it sits super on the wrist. Definitely an interesting watch.
