I'll be sure to pass your well wishes to Conor the next time I see him :)

Thanks my friend! I couldn’t agree more 🤝

Far too kind of you to say 😄 thanks for watching!

I’m glad you enjoyed it! The Aikon really made for a great companion watch 🤝

I just assumed you'd think the whole "go out into the world exploring" bit would be such a hassle :)

@@thetimist To be fair it is!

See? I know you 😄

I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Even happier to hear you got "the call" 🙌 it's little events such as these that stick with us, and when you meet others that share the same passion for the hobby, there's an instant connection that happens because they "get it." I'm still enjoying the Snoopy, and I hope you are as well my friend 🤝

Thank you for watching and your kind words - your support of Alena’s journey means a lot I’m sure 👍

I did indeed! Keep in mind though that this was a few years ago and I had to monitor the site like a hawk since they were perpetually out of stock 👍

@ completely aware. Reason I asked , when buying at the Breitling boutique they didn’t give me a pouch. So I’m thinking I would show them this

I fully understand, believe me 🤗 let me know if you pick one up!

I get where you're coming from - I do - but recently I was listening to an episode of StarTalk with Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson. One of his guests joined him to discuss all the exciting research and projects tied to the Mission to Mars program. That in and of itself got me excited and made me believe in the future of the space program!

That's not a question that I am personally qualified to answer as I don't work within the watch industry itself - although if I had to venture a guess, with additional certifications in brand-specific service centers (and polishing) I would imagine that yearly average would go up. I have first hand testimony having spoken with a 24 year-old watchmaker in Italy who was offered something close to 6 figures, plus housing in Switzerland by a watch brand that literally everyone in the world would recognize. He turned it down so that he could focus on his family's watchmaking business in Venice. So I suppose it depends on region, speciality, certifications, and the market at that time.

Not that I have noticed, personally 👍

Big congrats my friend - it's one of the most thrilling and epic calls a watch enthusiast can receive - enjoy it!

That little touch of red makes such a big difference, in the best way possible 👍

A GMT in this case with this dial would have been amazing 🤝who knows what the future holds though?

My video should have elucidated this but in short - it celebrates the human spirit of ingenuity and our drive to survive, it’s tied to NASA, it’s rare and therefore near impossible to find, and it’s the first watch from Omega to have a case back animation 👍

Thanks for the kind words 🙏 still very cool that you managed to pick one up at not the astronomical prices they once were! Glad you’re local to Seattle and happy you’re working with Timeworks 🤗 they’re just amazing people!

@ I love it. Been wearing it everyday this weekend. Such a fun watch. I’m going to go to Time Works today to get the bracelet. The strap, like everyone says, is way too stiff.

@ Nice! Congrats again 🎉 the strap isn’t bad, it actually breaks in fairly quickly if you power through it 👍

I’m curious how you’re even watching this video 😆

Oh very interesting! The SD feels a lot more capable and sturdy, not rush the Pepsi doesn’t, but it’s just different somehow 😄

I’m so glad you enjoyed your class time, and for taking a moment to watch my video 🤗 I did my best to capture audio but I also found a tutorial on this very movement which helped refresh my terminology 😃

For a normal Speedmaster, maybe 15, perhaps 20 if you have a great relationship. For a Snoopy, that’s not even a conversation.

Thanks 👍 I appreciate you taking the time to watch!

Absolutely - thanks for watching!

Unfortunately looking over their courses I don’t believe that’s something on offer. I know that timing and lubrication is however. The best thing to do is to look over their site, I included a link in the video description 👍

Thanks so much! I appreciate you taking the time to drop a comment!

Haha well I don't know about that - but I appreciate the sentiment :)

I'm glad you think so!

Well that's some high praise! You should join in for the next class, it'll change your whole perspective on watches :)

Oh how exciting! Wishing you much success on this new chapter! I will add that I have a two more videos that you may get some value out of watching - one where I visit the Ben Bridge watchmaking service department, and the other video is with Alena as she shares her story on becoming a watchmaker :)

@@thetimist I saw the "world premier" Ben Bridge Watchmaking video. It was that video that prompted me to email BB in the first place. Was VERY impressed with their operation. I definitely could see myself working there in the future!

@@SOPHIAFLYGIRL Oh wow! OK, you've just made my day saying that! That is quite literally one of the main reasons why I made that video in the first place! Since today is my birthday, I'll consider that a proper gift - I'm rooting for you, and I hope to hear back from you when you get hired 🤝

@@thetimist Happy birthday!!! Thank you for your kind words!!

@@SOPHIAFLYGIRLOf course! Message me on Instagram @ the_timist_IG I’d like to see if I can introduce you to some of the watchmakers at Ben Bridge 👍

Would love to find a solid Cartier book with historical info and context to add to the horology collection - as for the Ralph Lauren Tank, yes I do believe it was a proper Cartier and not his homage, at least from the research I was able to explore 👍 thanks for the info!

Haha you're very kind - thank you for the support, it really means a lot! I don't post nearly enough to satisfy the algorithm but when I do post I want it to be of some worth to folks - so thank you for the sub my friend 🤝

Very kind of you to say, thank you 🙏 it truly means a lot! I put a lot of effort into this one - it means so much to so many people out there so I wanted to do my best at doing the story justice. Thank you for the support, and know that I'm rooting for you to get the call for your Silver Snoopy as well 🤝

Understandable! Seek out your local watch scene and try to join your local community if possible!

Glad you enjoyed it - I appreciate the comment 👍

Glad you enjoyed it David! I appreciate you taking the time to reach out 👍

Haha thanks! That’s the exact vibe I was going for 👍 if you want more you can watch my full video on the Nomos 😃

Thanks for taking the time to drop me a message, John! Really glad you enjoyed the video - also congrats on two epic pieces in your collection my friend! Wear them in good health 👍

Congrats on all the previous additions, and happy to hear you plan on adding this capable beauty to your collection! I appreciate you watching and taking the time to drop a comment as well - let me know when you get it!

🤣

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words 🙏

Really glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for taking the time to drop a comment 👍

Very kind of you to say - thank you 🙌

It’s a phenomenal piece that I’m sure will bring you joy for many years to come 👍 congrats!

A worthy brand to have on your list for sure! I highly recommend it 👍

I do wish it was a fully brushed Oyster like on the Sub, but alas, it’s position a bit higher and so therefore I guess that means polish in certain areas. A full brush with no polish would in my opinion also make the bezel colors (regardless of variant) pop more 👍

Awesome - I think you’ll like it! My wrist size is 6.75 inches or 17.1 centimeters 👍

I’m sorry you feel that way. I’m seeing more and more folks getting a Snoopy as of the past 6 months or so - but again they may likely be people that got their Snoopy deposits accepted either by a boutique or an AD (and they’re just now getting the new wave of tie pieces shipped out at once) in any case I hope you get yours one day, and thank you for your service 👍
