Wow, what a great channel 🤩 I found a real gem, looking at the overall quality of videos i think you should have way more subscribers, great job, keep it up 💪✌️
Haha thanks so much man! The algorithm doesn’t like us yet 😂 fingers crossed 🤞
I have been saying the same for years and I am glad someone has said it !
Said what? 😅😀
That omega is super cool, I love patina like that
We’re glad you like it :)
One of my favorite channels, with love from Istanbul. long live wabi sabi.
Thanks so much man! Greetings from Germany
glad i came across this episode; I was just looking at the dark star.
We’re glad you enjoyed it !
Enjoy seeing these Very beautiful patina dials, thanks for the video and have a great day too.
Much thanks! 🙏
Quality channel.
Keep going and you'll have a strong subscriber base.
Thanks so much! We will see 😀
Real patina is great and adds to the sort of romance of a vintage watch, musical instrument, book, car, etc. The point at which patina becomes damage is subjective. Faux patina is trendy but almost always falls short of looking "right."
Iam absolutely with you! There’s a big aesthetic gap between patina and faux patina
Patina on a watch, eventhough many says that it still a damage, but I think it tells more story, it shows more character and it feels more meaningful for its age. I don't say that a nice and good-looking finish dial is not prefer but c'mon guys, even our grandmothers and grandfathers has their wrinkles but we really still care and love them ❤️ Kudos #Horologists and #Hobbyist 🥂🥂🥂
Cheers Ryan, we couldn’t agree more!!
Yes.❤.
I really appreciate your invest of time. Great video
Thanks a million, we hope you learned something new 🤞
I am started looking for watches with patina. When the color and placement is right they are more desirable than without patina. It's funny but true.
I totally agree with you! Enjoy the hunt
I just picked up a Czechoslovakian Prim from the 60s, and has a lovely patina all over on what looks like a linen dial. It's nice to hear a little bit more about the patina and where it actually comes from.
Thanks for sharing, I know prim but never heard it comes from Czech! Happy to hear you learned something 🙏👌🙌🤝
Fascinating subject! The seamaster has “coral”-like patina, which is unintentionally fitting of its heritage!
Much thanks. I absolutely agree!
I understand the appeal of "patina" but I don't personally care for it. If restored items sell for less now then that works for me! For me patina translates to "I can't afford to get this repainted". ;) Admittedly I understand it more with something like a vintage watch than an automobile.
Haha that’s totally okay :D I also have no problem with watches being lightly refurbished as long as the original condition is maintained. I have a preference for pieces that are left completely in original condition with lots of patina, but I also have a preference for watches that are a few decades old and look like they just came from the factory. Tastes are different and that's a good thing :D
that seamaster has a patina that remindsme of spotted bamboo. what a beaut
A good comparison! Thanks kindly
Beautiful! Love your videos. I am on the hunt for a patinated vintage watch! Hopefully a Polerouter or IWC Cal 89.
Thanks kindly! We already have some cal89’s in stock. Just check our website :-)
Very helpful. Deepens my appreciation of this hobby. Thank you so much.
We’re glad you enjoyed it! Much thanks for your feedback. 🙏✌️
@@GoldammerVintageWatches you could think of lovely patina as a desirable complication
Amen 🙏:D
Damn deine omega hat die schönste patina die ich gesehen hab! I bin japaner und bin froh dass du im video den begriff von wabisabi vorgestellt hast🙏
Vielen lieben Dank! Wir hatten mal bei Instagram bezüglich der Patina eine Umfrage gemacht . Tatsächlich war es der Mehrzahl der Leute zu starke Patina. Geschmäcker sind halt verschieden :D
That omega watch is beautiful! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Indeed, crazy patina 😍 thanks kindly!
Excellent and clear explanation!!! Thank you 🙏
Thanks for your feedback!! 🙏🙏🙏
definitely learned a lot about patina as i get into vintage omega watches, thank you for this video just subbed! 🙏🏽🤯 also love that Japanese concept of wabi sabi and accepting imperfections as beautiful and aesthetic
Much thanks for your feedback!! And absolutely agree with you 🙌✊
Excellent video. Very interesting and thoughtful. Thank you for posting this.
Thanks for your kind words!
Love the channel, thank you for the content, could you let me know which brand of strap do you offer in the watches offered in the website, most of them appear to have straps from the same company and I really liked them and the watches of course :)
Much thanks Yasha!! The straps are custom made for us from a wholesaler.
Hi Felix,
I just bought a very nice vintage Omega Constellation a few days ago with - dare I say - an even nicer patina than what you are wearing in your video.
The problem is that :
For the past few weeks, I've been concerned, as I've been seeing more and more watches with beautiful patinas or "that look like real patinas, but I feel like many are fake and man-made." (artifact)?...
Maybe it would be wise to make a video dedicated to "false patinas" because I'm sure there are more and more of them since collectors appreciate them!..
Cheers Sam, first of all congrats to your new wrist buddy!! It is not easy to tell from pictures if the patina has been touched up. But with a magnifying glass this is no problem. Personally, I have never seen a watch with false patina. I also don't think it's worth it to artificially rework a watch, simply for the reason that theirs are traded higher in better condition. No matter if it is a beautiful and even patina. Nevertheless, thank you for the video idea, I will deal a little more with the subject!
Amen.
Where on Earth can I get an Omega w/ that kind of patina!
Sometimes on our website:D
patina o dial ‘’FIORITO “ belli have a got very wonderfull watch grazie per farci vedere orologi bellissimi non solo fuori ma i meccanismi “Calibro”❤️
Thanks a lot for your kind words
I very good video with so much of valuable content ❤ !!!
Thank you!! 😊
But they're not in their original condition! They didn't originally come with any patina. 4:27 Why anyone would buy or wear a watch in that state is beyond me. And that's from a big vintage Omega fan.
The watches shown are all in original condition, only aged. Many collectors appreciate patina on their pieces because the different types of aging make them unique. A watch from factory looks like any other, however, I also appreciate a watch in top condition without patina. As described in the video, the beauty in it is in the eye of the beholder. For me, it's perfectly fine that you don't like aged watches, but you also have to accept that there are people who look for and enjoy exactly that :D
@@GoldammerVintageWatches Maybe what he meant of not in original condition, the watch originally not had any patina. Thus the patina changed the "original" watch appearance.
In the classic car world it's referred to as a 'survivor'...ie. it has lasted all these years without being messed about with. Originality is honesty, you can see it's history. Hey if we all liked the same thing the world would be pretty boring
...and that Longines, wow, looks beautiful
We couldn’t agree more’n
patina means dye/Color in pilipino
Makes sense :D thanks for sharing
Outstanding
Thanks so much!!
That omega is the most beautiful watch I've seen all year
It’s really aged in a beautiful way!
hello, great video. Could you recommend any watch repair course or school for hobby....
Unfortunately not
Excellent words.
Thanks my friend
Real vintage watch patina
Yessss
What is the piano song in the intro?
Debussy - Clair de lune ;)
In other words - ageing
Exact 😃
@@GoldammerVintageWatches Sometimes not possible to clean a watch dial, sometimes not worth it, as adds to the attraction of an old fashioned watch, or could lower the value.
Absolutely agree. I would never clean a watch dial, as long as the patina appears in an even way. It ads so much more character
Bei der Omega ist das Ziffernblatt korrodiert aber die Beschriftung perfekt. Hmmmm?
Haben wir uns alles genau angeschaut und passt perfekt. :)
patina is damage, the difference is whether or not you like it
If you want to put it completely in a nutshell, you hit the nail on the head. How about you, fan or opponent?
@@GoldammerVintageWatches I appreciate it on someone else's wrist, but don't particularly prefer it on my own.
🙌👍
