The Bold Hairspring

The Bold Hairspring

Welcome to the channel everyone! My name is Ivan and I became interested in watches in 2008 when I bought my first G-Shock. A couple of years later I became pretty much obsessed with all sorts of watches and finally in 2020 I started the channel. The videos I make reflect my personal preferences. I may be wearing my Omega today and then switch to a San Martin or a Pagani Design the next day. I'm also one of these "weird" watch enthusiasts that wear a G-Shock with a suit and this is probably the message I'm trying to deliver through my videos: Do things your way! Get the watches you want and wear them the way you want.

Phoibos keeps killing it!

    The standard Planet Ocean is a stunning watch IMO. I would go as far as to say its the single best watch that you can buy on the high street (Rolex included), and I am not even an Omega fanboy!

    It’s jsur too ridiculous for anything other than extreme diving. Today, I don’t know anyone who would even consider using a watch to time dives. Even several years ago, all I saw were dive computers. Dive watches have become more of a style choice than actual diving tools.

    @fungorilla I think it's prone or resistant to scratches just like any other 316L steel polished bezel. I still haven't marked mine but I don't usually scratch my watches very often anyway. What I can tell you is that due to having a fair amount of watches I often sell or giveaway some of the watches I'm being sent for a review but this one I've decided to keep because it's really nice. I had kind of promised it to a friend, but it's not happening 😁.
