Great video sir! Proud owner of a 1969 Speedmaster Mk II. Had it restored 25 years ago and used it daily, even with sports. But unfortunately it stopped working properly and has a loose crown. Needs an overhaul again.
25 years is a good while for it to run before its next overhaul. I only checked recently and can see that the re-release in 2014 Mark II here is no longer available. I think these design is a timeless classic for me in any case.
They are gorgeous. They have that retro futuristic modern design aesthetic. The Racing version simply pops! I think it's one of the most beautiful chronographs ever!
🤩 wow 🤩 that is absolutely gorgeous!!! You can see the quality through your camera it just looks super nice 👍 all I can afford is second hand watches for the most part but after cleaning and polishing I think I still get the same feeling or close to it 😂 your omega watches are a beautiful couple indeed 👍
I have seen a few new looking or very light ware that are advertised as second hand/ worn and look perfect. If second hand though it is always best to see in the hand as you can tell how the movement is by pulling out the crown and feeling the wind. If possible I would always go with unpolished as then you know it has hardly been worn.
great watches....beautiful recently I was thinking about buying Speedy Broad Arrow, but luck for me, I realized that price tag is extremely ''chunky monkey'' for what it is.... I didn't give up off course, I'll get it one day, there's a lot of candidates that are waiting for me. That orange Speedy is beautiful, no doubt. yes, it was first at the Moon but it didn't been first in the space, a first one was Sturmanskie Chronograph (military version, very beautiful soviet cookie with a modified swiss movement) at the wrist of Yuri Gagarin 12.04.1961. Omega can update whatever, but it's impossible to make it cooler than it is, that's beautiful.
Omega is a great brand really and I probably like all the watches they made in the late 1960s and 1970s they all look so good. Do wait to pull the trigger as I find you always find what you are looking for eventually.
the lil drizzle, gives the watches a different kind of perspective and relativity on not only look it looks, but the way the watch plays with light too.
@@masterwatch I also feel like people take setting so seriously the settings for everything to be sterile, and it’s getting boring in the watch showcase realm. This gives a more human touch. Watches in the wild. Day to day.

ah thank you.. I do agree and for me they are timeless really.
Nice story behind the acquisition of the racing version!
I haven't explained half.. what a story and I am sure I will never go through the work effort to obtain a watch again.

@ Thats great advise!Thank you
@@justinremple7986 oh my pleasure.. do be careful when buying.. There are perfect watches and sellers out there but you do need to look for them.
I incredible what a touch of orange does it’s so much more playful than the black dial. Can see why you have both.
every time I get out these bad boys I always think how cool they are.
great watches....beautiful
