    Wow! I really enjoyed this video you put together and even found it kind of moving. I’ve been researching the Omega Speedys (and some others) as a gift idea, for 5 of my closest relatives. The thinking is, I wanted to get them all a nice watch. Something of similar value that they could possibly exchange between themselves, from time to time, just for a change of pace here and there. Initially the thought was to get 5 different Rolex’s. But I began to think, I would really rather it be something more user friendly and more of a ‘daily-driver’. Not something that just gets stashed in the back of a sock drawer, for safe keeping, for fear of loss or even theft. The Speedmasters and all the possible iterations they come in, seem to check all the right boxes. This idea came up as the result of a recent unfavorable medical diagnosis and I think this video has just helped me make up my mind on what I’d like to gift these special loved ones. Thanks for the nudge! 👍

The sentiment and idea is wonderful, I'm just sorry it was born out of a medical diagnosis. I hope everything turns out well for you and that you can indeed gift these special watches to your closest relatives! Enjoy it all in good health my friend!

Anyway l sat down , tried on it on and said yes and waited for my bank card to be processed fir clearance whilst l nervously chated away at how much this watch has meant to me especially when lve been collecting other watches but not as expensive a purchase. Anyway, my bank card cleared the purchase ammount and l was offered a beer to celebrate. That beer was the smoothest tasting glass of pure necture , the staff could see how l felt and they took a photo of me with my watch for thier internal magazine .

    Haha, no I'm in Washington State, not Canada. I included that little line more for comic relief (given that Canada Goose parkas are very expensive and some people like to wear their watches over their clothes, which only makes sense if you find yourself in an extreme climate like the arctic circle...but not at the mall haha) Thanks for the kind words - I didn't mention the AR coating on my watch because it doesn't have it. There was no AR coating on any Sea Dweller model from 2022 or earlier, the AR coating (underside) was added in 2023. Great call out though for anyone that has a 2023 model or newer 👍 Also keep in mind that some watch brands don't include AR coating not because they don't want it as a positive addition, but because AR (external application on the crystal) can be scratched off and depending on the color/tint/hue of the AR coating it will look like tiny cracks or smudges on the crystal from certain angles. Breitling is a good example, they apply AR coating both top and underside and it's usually a blue hue - the top coating can get scratched (the sapphire is fine mind you, it's just the coating that gets affected) something to keep in mind. Lastly, I don't recommend you buy anything to impress anyone. Ever. Because at the end of the day no one TRULY cares. Everyone has their own priorities, so basing your life choices or decisions on the hypothetical points of view of others is a losing battle, and the only way to win is to not play. So buy what you can afford and what YOU like. You have to be happy with what you have, because it's your money and your hard work. This applies to a Rolex or a Timex and everything in between 😄

    @@jangheedavidhan6253 It's definitely a weird scenario, without a doubt. The idea of not being able to simply walk into a store, pay your hard earned money and get the item you want is strange. Granted, it's only an issue on some models. I reckon the watch industry took a page from the automotive industry - they've been doing this for a lot longer. Want a special/rare car? Get on the list. I actually started a watch podcast in March of this year and it's one of the main topics I go over with an actual AD - episode 2 is titled "how does an AD decide who gets a watch?" give it a listen if you feel like it. It's about 40 min long or so. But the short answer is "it depends on the AD." Again, it's a beautiful hobby and collectors space and I really do hope that you get the watch that you want soon and without having to jump through hoops 👍
