Omega Seamaster James Bond Edition

[The1]

the first is a Tag Monaco, it contains an ETA 2892 movment with a Dubois Depraz chrono pack attached to it. It beats at 28,000. It is more noticeably "chunky" seen close up, but I find overall it's fairly smooth when viewed normally.

the second watch is a Zenith El Primero which is an in house movement that beats at 36,000. You can still see the jumps, but it is much more fluid in it's movement, especially when viewed normally and not under a macro lens.

28,000 vs 36,000

Thanks for uploading the video. The movement on that Zenith is very smooth. The Tag Monaco actually looks smoother than the movement on my watch. No wonder it is so heavily discounted from the MSRP. I'll have to upload the video and see if you guys think that the movement is "normal" for my watch or something wrong with it. I'll definitely look at VPM next time I purchase a watch.

It might be a 22,000 vph movement, but I don't know that too many are used in cronographs.

I also don't know too many people that actually use their chronos, so the acuracy is just a luxury .

It is also believed that higher vph watch movements tend to be more fragile, so if you have an active life, this may be something to take into consideration.

I always wanted the james bond Omega Sea Master....

[mike the snake]

I was checking out a cool vintage Omega, a late 1960's pre-moon Speedmaster. Very cool watch.

I keep looking at vintages too. There's some fantastic watches. The problem to consider though is, the vintages can sometime be ridiculously small. If you have a bigger wrist, they can be off putting. If on the other hand you don't have big wrists, a vintage could be the thing of dreams for you!

And those pre-moon Speedmaster pull a lot of respect in the watch world.

I love my modern Speedmaster Pro, so I'd definitely recommend the vintage if your really considering it

[335icandy]

Vintage with a modern twist.

^ lol

Not wearing a watch anymore, I have like 3 different ways to tell time.

I did just buy a "survival strap" and really like it.

Anyone use a watch winder? I just got a winder that holds only two watches. It takes batteries and also plugs in. It's virtually silent. Pretty good so far. Three settings: Counterclockwise, clockwise and normal wrist action (L&R).

[Chewy734]

what kind is it? got a link?

[The1]

I've got 2 winders that hold 4 watches each I don't have 8 automatics, but I use 2 spots as display spots until I end up with automatics to put in there. They were cheapies, but they do the job, and like yours they have clockwise, counter clockwise, alternating, and extended alternating.

I'm happy to put my manual wind watches in there as well as it keeps the oils from settling to one side if I turn it on occasionally for them.
