    Great video. Totally agree with you that interest in the dial keeps you coming back. I find myself looking at my watches often throughout the day, but then I realize I don't even know what time it is because I was only admiring the details in the watch and not checking the time. Haha. I also strongly agree with you on the hype stuff. I don't understand why some people are willing to pay way over retail to get a watch immediately. Be patient. Prices will come down and these watches will be widely available.

    Nice video. The new white Speedmaster looks very cool. But it doesn't give me any regrets in getting the latest version of the black dial Speedmaster a few years ago. The standard speedy moonwatch still has so much history attached to it.

    145.012-67 and 145.022-69 Speedies here. I was born in that decade so 1960s it is. That white one is nicely done, I bet many will want it ! As for the MoonSwatch, it's something fun for teenagers or people in their twenties. My fun watch would be an Aqua Terra blue small seconds on rubber strap !

    The white Speedmaster racing isn’t a moon watch, collectors of the moon watch and its predecessors are getting the new white dial speedy. I met another speedy collector when I picked mine up at a boutique. It’s not my first white dialed moon watch. Even for non collectors, the white dial is a nice addition for dressier situations. I’ll even wear a speedy with a tuxedo (even if purists say I shouldn’t).

    Solid video. Definitely agree with you on waiting for the white dial Speedy hype to come down before buying one. I don’t own a Speedy, but I will be buying this one at some point. That white lacquer dial is very appealing.

    Awesome video as always! The truth about the Speedmaster in my view is that it is simply not a flex. White, black, reduced, doesn’t matter. If it suits your wrist and looks good on you, then hey that’s awesome. But it’s not a flex and so many collectors these days want that flash in the end but won’t admit it.

    The white looks very pretty, but I think part of what made the moonwatch so popular is that it is super iconic while feeling like it hasn’t lost its tool heritage. Others icons like the submariner (or any modern Rolex) and the seamaster feel much more like jewelry. While I admit any 4+ figure mechanical watch really is just jewelry, the white dial seems to have more of a jewelry feel to it that the black dial doesn’t

    @Timepieceguy 7 месяцев назад

    I think the white will be the same as black. Already seeing many available online do it may be a few hundred more on c24 but will be able to pick them up for 5-6k. I think the red text, black indices, and the new bracelet and overall form factor is just perfect. I 100% have to own both but I am a sucker for the latest speedy and white dials (red text) . It’s pure magic.

    @desireless4092 5 месяцев назад +1

    For me personally? No.
    I don't like white on Speedmaster. Plus I love monochromatic watches and I prefer black with white hands. It is literally the same watch as my 3861, but in white I don't like, red elements that don't fit in the composition and applied indecies that ironically I am big fan of, but not on Speedmaster.
    The white dial fans however, will have a blast.

    I’d really like to hear your thoughts after you’ve handled the white speedmaster. I don’t just think it’s the best speedmaster, I think, for the money, it might just be the best white dial watch on the market - period. And I say that as someone with a grey side of the moon.

  • @ricchrono5907

    I have 2 speedys, 1st one is the speedy triple calendar black dial, its also my 1st expensive purchase. Didnt know too much about watches back then (even now almost 30 years later i still dont as a matter of fact), bought that as it seems a very much of bargain as it packs so many functions, also fits my slander 6.75 - 7" wrist well.
    Then later in years to come found out oh, it was the professional that went to the moon, and so i bought my 2nd one being a panda version of the prof model, all because the sales said lets get the white dial as they arent many white dials for speedy 🤷🏻‍♂️
    I think having both the white / silver (though panda) and black speedies, I prefer the black. Like you said the white is nice, yet it feels like the black one will always be the classics, with the original design cues that can stand the test of time.

    So you have 1 Speedmaster.and 1 replica homage thing. In regard to adding the white dial and other “upgrades” to the Speedmaster professional is no different than adding all the upgrades they added to the “classic” saphire version. Difference is with the white dial it just looks better, modern and amazing.

  • @sanghoonlee5171
    @sanghoonlee5171 7 месяцев назад +1

    The question is whether you want the Moon Watch or a Speedmaster. If you want the Moon Watch, black dial with hesalite is the only choice. If you just want a Speedmaster, go with your taste.
    Speedmaster is a great watch but if you want a gorgeous steel chronograph around 40mm there are a dozen compelling choices out there--IWC Portugieser, Tag Carrera, Breitling Navitimer, Tudor Black Bay... But there is only one Moon Watch, and it has a black dial and a hesalite crystal and a NASA-approval inscription. I ain't ditching mine anytime soon.
