I'm lucky enough to own an Accutron Astronaut with the Kreisler bracelet and that 214hn movement. Lovely watch, with a great aviation pedigree. It takes me a little while to get used to tracking the 2nd timezone tho.

Very nice dial layout brother

Hey! Where did you get that Rotary engine clock behind you! Amazing clock

I have sorna chronograph 9061

I've just got home from looking at a second hand Breitling Avenger GMT 45 I was thinking of buying, full box set with owners manual and guarantee card, but with the seller I took it to a gold merchant shop next to his shop and weighed it on their digital scales, it was 20g heavier than the specifications given on the Breitling website for the exact same watch with the same reference number and same strap. The caseback was also on crooked instead of straight while the seller said it had never been opened or serviced etc. Clones or fakes are usually lighter than genuines so I'm not sure why this watch is 20g heavier than it should be, but it all raised major red flags with me, I didnt buy it obviously.

Nice piece 😊!!!

In the thumbnail you covered the face with a microfiber cloth. Based on the bezel and bracelet, I really thought I was looking at a new super Seville

TRUE NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THAT!!!!

Hey Alix! Hope you're having a great week. Question; ran across several websites that specialize in "replica Rolex watches". It blows me away at how they get away with it all (you've probably seen them). Seems like patent and copyright law would come into play, big time. Thoughts? Thanks for your time. Can't wait for your next episode!

As far as anti-magnetism resistance; remember, Omega uses the silicone hairspring, giving their watches unmatched anti-magnetic resistance. i.e. Rolex’s Milguas is touted as their engineer/scientist preferred model because of it’s 1K gaus resistance. Omega watches with their silicone hairspring are able to boast 15K gaus resistance, so it really becomes an unfair fight, right out of the gate. *I think that Omega patent has just about run out so expect others to jump on board with the superior technology.

Is that available now. It looks very modern. I know you said it was a reissue from the 70s

One of the top watchmakers in the US addressed this issue in an interview with Teddy Baldassare. He said you only need to wind watches one or two times a year. He also said he had watches which hadn’t been serviced for a lot longer that 7 years and they work just fine.

Its a stunning timepiece

The stand the you’re displaying the watches on, why am I worried it’s magnetic?? Nice collection. Calm my nerves and tell me it’s not magnetic, please!

I have to be honest with you.When you complemented Invicta Pro Diver I was little sukriced but it got to me that it actually means that even by having such as nice pieces you aren't being sobbing others low budged watches like Invicta and for that I salute you...

Speaking as someone just getting into the luxury watch game (recently bought the Grand Seiko Snowflake Spring Drive as my first $1000+ watch), the "regular" Globemaster blue 39 and the Datejust mint green fluted bezel 41 with jubilee bracelet are my #1 targets for Omega and Rolex respectively. Both are really classy-looking watches. IMO, a white dial Globemaster doesn't do the pie pan dial justice. The blue pie pan dial has a really attractive look.

Another great episode, Alix! Thanks so much!

obviously when purchasing auto's, servicing is an integral part of ownership. I'm seeing ppl who impulse purchase without the resources or wherewithal to do just that... they may receive it as a grad gift or decide to treat themselves and empty the bank on a new Panerai. ,while working nightshift at McDonalds. I'm older now, near retirement, and own a couple auto's, but mostly solar quartz'.no beat error checks, time graphs, no regulations, servicing or out of left field movement stops for whatever reason. i can trust them with my life literally, while an auto is more temperamental. somehow tho aficionados are obsessed with century old technology , lol i get it but it isn't practical, nostalgic maybe

I would call it the buy what you like revolution

Dang, I'm likin' that Meteorite dial Lunar. Gotta get on Chrono and take a look tonight. Thanks for another great show, Alix!

That Meteorite Bulova is a beautiful piece. I'm liking the green strip/nato combo, very cool. Another awesome episode, Alix. Thanks so much for sharing with us !!!

Hey good video. Makes mechanical sense. Things need to be exercised and mainsprings need to be cycled. I subscribed.

As a man in possession of an 8 1/2" wrist, you are, with respect a statistical outlier. Bulova shot themselves in the foot (or wrist) making a watch with no smaller alternative. Maybe true to the original, specified presumably for astronauts with poor eyesight, but less so for the general buyer or the daily wearer. A shame. Maybe a 40 will emerge one day.

Looks surprisingly good on the gator & tricolour nato imo, but the blue nato looked out of place. Still pretty versatile though for such a specific design. Or maybe I’m just feeling Bulova extra right now as I’ve just picked up my first, an all-steel Precisionist chrono. 😉

Do you have a good watch strap changing tool/thing majigie that you could recommend? I have a few NATO straps and a mesh bracelet, but I have relied on the watch shop to change out for me.

It’s a beautiful movement

I have fourteen Swiss watches. The Graham is the only one people want to learn and talk about.

Watches don’t have “faces” .

do you mean en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carillon vs Carillion ? Carillon.

When people are saying #amzwatch is a better option for buying a watch,I very much agree!

Love the BLP - solid watch, great look (as long as you have a good-size wrist ...) - I actually like the OG better than the meteorite version (cleaner/neater to my taste...)

Ciao bellissimo orologio. Io ho quello nero, grigio ed arancione. Un'icona anni '70. Il calibro è di derivazione Lemania. Grazie ciao.

I absolutely love Meteorite dial watches, I own 5 of them. I like this watch but not enough to buy one.

Just dropping in to like and support your work! The absolute best watch channel I’ve found!!

What are your thoughts an feelings with orient star?. Do you own a orient star ?.

Very nice watch, it appears they’re still available on Bulova website in the USA. Cost $1495.00 US dollars, had the option to order one, but my budget tight right now. Like the watch was made with the precisionist movement. Stay cool Alix.

I have a BLP and a modern speedy and they both have their place. I really like this Meteorite version!

I need help. Im not into watch collecting. But my Dad got a rolex as a milestone marker when i was born. He only ever wears that one watch. Thats the only watch he has and he wears it every day. Right now I have a Casio GShock that serves its purpose very well that i spend $350 on. But i want something more refined. Something that has a more refined style and not rugged. Am I supposed to go for a Rolex or a Grand Seiko and drop 3k+ on it and call it a day? Im not a watch guy, and i see myself purchasing one more watch in my lifetime. Should I go for one of the luxury giants? Or can i get away with a microbrand? Im currently 32 yrs old. Im on the market for a refined style watch. This is it, if not one more after it.

Are the plastic pallet fork and escape wheel necessary a bad thing? Can it be serviced when needed?

Never buy Safe Queens😆

I see where you're coming from, and I don't personally have anything against silicon in all watches. The use of materials that are difficult to replace puts their kind of romantic qualities at a lower category for me. I like my Spring Drive, but I dont hold any romantic ideals about the watch itself. Ultimately, Grand Seiko will need to be repaired by Grand Seiko, and those parts may not exist when the electrical components wear out. Hairsprings are the least impactful for Silicon use on that metric. All hairsprings are very specialized, and replacing them is already difficult depending on the watch. Spring drives seem like a better alternative than Silicon hairsprings in my line of thinking. I'm not sure I can rationalize it past if it's difficult to repair. It might as well be accurate. Companies using plastic polymers and Silicon parts for the escape wheel, fork and other high wear components rub the the wrong way. At that level of unservicablility, any quartz watch seems like a superior alternative.

Got my copy of 'Cyberchild' (paperback, from "A"). A super-fun read, Alix! Great story line, plot, plenty of action. A book that's hard to lay down once you've gotten into it. I'm surprised a screen play hasn't been done yet...needs to be! Can't wait for the sequel !!! Awesome !!!

Sometime I think my Sub is too flashy. Then I wear my Minnie Mouse watch. Lol.
