    I love this new series already! Jack has to be one of the most knowledgeable watch guys in the world, let alone the industry. Great video, great guy, love it. My only problem so far is that this could have easily been a 10 minute video to get through more questions. Can’t wait for more episodes soon! Now to think it’s the perfect horological question 🤔.

    Oh My! I just got a customised HMT with a California dial 3 days back just because it was so cool to have 4 different kind of hour markers on the same dial and was wondering why was it called so. Thank God that the balance in the world (and my mind) has been restored!

    Jack, you gave an overview of the Omega Speedmaster movements, but never differentiated the various Speedmaster models. Some start at 4 figures and then go much higher (not counting the Snoopy you teased that is NOT available). I would love to see a deeper dive as to what differentiates the myriad of options on the Speedmaster line. There seems to be so many options that I have no idea which one I would choose, so I bought a Seamaster 300M instead. I hope you can do a follow-on video sharing your knowledge on the Speedmaster.

    Hey Hodinkee! I travel regularly around the world, staying in many fine hotels. Unfortunately, I find the standard clocks in these suites to be woefully distasteful and - appallingly - all quartz. Do you have any product recommendations at the $6000 mark? Something portable? Mechanical? Okay, ciao!

    There is a reason that California is called the land of fruit and nuts. Nothing is more nuttier on a watch dial then mixing Roman and arabic numerals on a dial. Hence it is a “California” dial! IMHO.
