- This is one of those love hate relationship stories lol, I am fortunate to own the best chronograph watch ever made but i find myself drifting away from giving attention to other watches in my collection, is this normal? or am I cursed by Omega? I have heard of other collectors sell their entire watch collection and settle for the Omega Speedmaster Professional as their only watch, I do admire the courage to be able to sacrifice all for one but that isn’t me, I love watches to much to be a one watch collector or is the future of collecting trying to tell me something?

The legibility of the Speedy is superior to other mechanical chronos.
NO It's NOT!
I get it! I have an 1861 Speedmaster and a Speedmaster Moonphase (which I am selling - more on that later). I walked into a boutique on Friday - the day I retired and bought the White 3861. I wore my older Speedy to that appointment and boy, I am glad I did. The boutique manager comped me a full service on my 1861 as part of the purchase of the new one.
So I walked in waering a 2005 model, and walked out wearing the new white 3861 - and my old one went to Omega for a full service! I was treated VERY well!
Oh, why am I selling the moonphase? To help pay for the 3861! LOL
And yes, I have an Aqua Terra, a Seamaster SMP300 Ceramic, a Racing, Tudor GMT Pepsi, Hamiltons, a Ball and others - what gets the most wrist time? The Speedmaster - and now the White Speedmaster!
I love what you're saying man. I've owned close to a dozen Speedies in the last 1.5 decades. It's a watch that I can never not have in my collection, and I love my current 3572 version.
But I've worn my PAM 915 about 10 times more than any Speedy I've ever owned. So for me it's actually kind of the reverse of what you're saying.
The service cost compared to a 775x movement is absurd. It's about as expensive to service a speedy as it is an AP offshore. The speedy is 8k retail the offshore is 30k retail.
I've also read that they charge different amounts depending on if you bought it with strap or bracelet. (more for bracelet ofc)
I own the sapphire sandwiche, and everytime I wear it, I fall in love again. Its my daily as an office watch. I wear my neo vintage sub as a beater, and Im hunting for my dress watch. But for me, the speedy is a timeless classic, which is where my own watch journey is taking me.
Absolutely agree! Omega is my favorite brand and the Speedmaster is my favorite watch as well.
Got mine in white last week.Love it!!
Totally get where you’re coming from 👍 Thanks for sharing.
No thank you for watching brother
Best Chronograph watch ever 😂😂😂
I have the sapphire version. That bracelet does look cool on it. I also have a black Omega nato strap that it looks really great on for a more utilitarian look.
Aside from 2 Casios, it is my only watch. Will definitely add more eventually, but for now, I certainly don’t mind!
Congratulations this is an incredible watch, and I honestly believe that the prices of the omega speedmaster professional will continue to increase overtime as the demand slowly rises
I own the sapphire 3861 too. Absolutely love it. But I realized I like to wear something else for different occasions - work vs. weekends, day vs. evening, modern vs. vintage. My tiny collection of two chrono and two dive watches can pretty much take care of them all.
I have one problem . My speedmaster could be my only watch but I have many so the others don’t get the wrist time
I love my Speedy. Have a sapphire sandwich and it’s my work and dress watch. I have a NTTD seamaster for my recreation and days off watch. I love it too but the speedy is my favorite.
i agree with you with the chronograph the best. am a seamaster300 and planet ocean fan. i have seamaster300pro blk dial sedna gold bezel and buttons blk rubber strap. am gona buy the planet ocean 43.5 blue dial all sedna gold $32k still saving for it my wife has the red globemaster sedna gold. my mom has a aqua terra quartz 29mm.
Nice video! thank you
Congrats for your purchase please enjoy it. If I may ask from where you got the bracelet?
Thank you Sir ! And the bracelet was purchased directly from Omega
Wow I cannot wait to own this watch holy shit. What a fantastic hype video good job!
Also, what is that bracelet and where did you get it? Looks like the Ed White
Replying to also hear where he got the bracelet from!
The bracelet was purchased from Omega Ad as a separate part for 1K $, the bracelet is a flat link bracelet from a 2023 omega speedmaster 57 and will only fit Omega Speedmaster professional 3861 I made a whole video about it on this channel for you guys plus included cheaper alternatives.
I love my 3861 Sapphire Sandwich, love my tapered bracelet, but where did you get that ED white looking bracelet?
Awesome
Great watch
What bracelet ref model is that?
I might be wrong but it looks like the bracelet for the Cal. 321 Ed White
I own this Omega, I wear many other pieces over this ☺️ still a nice watch.
Is that a different Omega bracelet? Did you buy that separately or is that another brand bracelet?
Yes I bought the bracelet from Omega separately.
The bracelet looks better than the wimpy one on the current Moonwatch, but personally I hate polished links on bracelets. No matter how careful you are, they are scratches waiting to happen.
@@993mike I disagree. The new bracelet on the 3861 is amazing. The taper, design, love it!! Huge improvement over the old one.
@@WristwatchDiarieswhat bracelet is that? Looks great!
Probably you must sell this Speedy. Or the rest of your collection. Coin throw. Dilema solved.
I own an omega speedy w OG hexalite and manual winding movement and I rarely wear it since I need to wind it, but somehow I don’t feel confident wearing it everyday. Feels like if I wind it daily the moment won’t last that long…lol
Yes
Have you tried the Rolex explorer? I stopped wearing my omega speedmaster… but I will never sell it.
What do you call a starving watch collectors dilemma ? A speedmaster on the wrist
What bracelet is that at 1.20?!!!
Fake Omega bracelet
the Speedmasters manual wind drove me nuts.. the crown doesnt descent enough from the crown guard and the windig is so annyoing. IT IS the best chronograph for the Price and an epic History milestone.. it also is the best lookint chronograph.. the windig & the tachymeter scratches easily.. are my only negative points
My dady bought one #nkuwan and he loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when he went out with it.
In the moment where a panerai is a grail, disqualified
People like you are the worst scum .
Owned a Panerai. I didn’t think it was all that. Sold it. It’s all in the eye of the beholder.
Speedmaster'57 on brown leather for me. Also works fantastic with black denim nato
pay the man for meh
new white one is so much gooder
Ugly, overpriced, old, also has been as close to the moon as I have
One of those lmao
Almost too big for your wrist.
Lunar pilot is better
From my experience I can give better answers, why you will hate it because I know the watch well and sold it:
1. Your fingers will hurt everytime you wind the watch, especially between the 60-80th wind, when the spring starts to get tighter.
2. It's so annoying to set the time every day or max two days, since the mechanism 3861 is max 40h aprox.
3. My sapphire sandwich steel band didint have an adjustment to make it bigger (I believe the newer ones have)
4. You will only meet omega owners who think omega is better than every other brand in the world, especially better than rolex. This will start to suck cause omega owners allways know everything better then others (personality issues) and I just dont want to belong to these kind of people.
5. It's nothing special, eventhough it has a great history, swatch almost killed the history with the plastic watches. You would think that some of these omeswatches are even more special than your speedy since they are more rare.
I dare to say that you will never like the watch for anything else but its looks. Its probably the most beautiful watch, however it's a pain to live with. Oh did I mention the wrist hair which always stuck in the breaclet, it fucking hurts, never mind, who wants this watch will buy it anyways and will not give a damn what I just wrote eventough its the real deal
All that winding and re-setting. You must have been exhausted.
breitling navitimer is the most influent chronograph in watches history. this is a fact.speedmaster is a marketing invention and the prove peoples are no different from sheep
Imagine calling everyone else sheep for not buying the thing that YOU like the most 😂 If you wanna buy the watch with the most influence buy a Seiko Astron. It made half of Switzerland go bankrupt.
Remember when Jack Swigert used his Navitimer to count that 14-second fuel burn on Apollo XIII?
It's manual winding, I wouldn't buy one.
How lazy can you get 😂
In Toronto canada I buy a super super clone I bring it to a rolex expert he say it was real rolex . Unbelievable. Your super clone look just like mine. You a expert but a regular person like me will never know. Imagine on nkuwan
