Watchfinder has significant funding and their videos are incredibly well done so if we can achieve anything that remotely looks like what they produce, that's a huge compliment...thank you!
And now: Watchfinder do what they can without Andrew Morgan (with gorgeous photography), Andrew Morgan turned the banter to the max (with gorgeous photography), and neither are anywhere near this level of insight. They can sell a watch, but they're not watchmakers.
Jordan has a vast knowledge of watchmaking, as well as the ability to communicate that knowledge to both watchmakers and non-watchmakers, which is what makes his videos so good
Not to take your reply as a kind of "endorsement of a brand", just because of the looks of it, what is the watch you are wearing? (I too use and Applewatch and a mechanical watch on the other wrist most days of the week!). And thanks for your honest reviews always!!!, dream job!!
I recently heard Roger Smith on the Scottish Watch podcast and he mentioned that his new Speedmaster had a single wheel co-axial escapement. He was clearly surprised with this evolution of the movement by Omega as he has also been developing a single wheel escapement. Do you happen to know when Omega started using this modification and if it was in the 8900 that you reviewed. Great review!
Jordan has been teaching watchmaking for many years, not to mention having an engineering background and being an active master watchmaker, which is why he's so good at explaining the mechanical intricacies of watches
But there are other parts in there besides than the coaxial escapement. And they still needs regular oiling. No? Regarding accuracy certainly its accuracy is more due to silicon spring and free sprung balance wheel.
Yes, there are other parts that need oil, but the escapement has always been the weak point where we see the degradation of oil the fastest. The silicon hairspring and free-sprung balance contribute to the good timekeeping but the Co-Axial escapement makes it so that the timekeeping can stay consistent over the entire service interval of the watch.
I have an 8800 powered SMP300 and I do prefer the 8900. It is MUCH louder though. Can hear the tick if I fall asleep wearing the AT and have it near my head at all. I like it though.
Could someone please help me determine which movement, the Omega Co-Axial master Chronometer or the Seiko Spring Drive, is more efficient in winding and powering up with minimal movement? Both are highly efficient, but I'm unsure which is superior, as I own both and am seeking clarification.
Love your channel. Its like Watchfinder without the fluff.

Always great listening to a genuine expert whatever the field.

I've been waiting for this video for so long......
Glad the wait is over!
I would like to see (hear) a discussion on the oils used for watches.
I have this same watch in a green dial. Mine has been quite accurate (roughly 1/3rd second per day)
Looking forward to this video.
That's great accuracy

Great review!
Really great video. I like your skills in explaining complicated functions.

superb review. Love your channel.
Great video & content. Thanks! Please keep it coming…
We plan to keep producing as many of these as possible, and we're also working on new content to complement the watchmaker videos!
Just found this channel, love the in depth and technical reviews! I would love to see your thoughts on Tudor's movements as well.
We've asked Tudor and they will not let us open any watch, which is the same at most watch companies, unfortunately
That's a really cool quilted wallhanging.
Who makes that wonderful bench?
Great explainiation!
What watch are you wearing there?

Super video 🙂
Thanks for the video! How does the movement compare to the Grand Seiko 9SA4?
Omega is more accurate
Thanks for your reply. Keep up the great videos!
