    This watch will be given away to one lucky subscriber once the channel hits 10K. All you have to do is like and subscribe, it couldn't be simpler to potentially win an iconic Omega classic.
    So if you're watching this in the months to come and the sub count is still below 10k, then you know it hasn't been won yet!

    I do like vintage watches they are from the era when almost everything is made for the eternity. That’s why they still exist after 60-70 years. I have a Roamer from the late 40’s with a mechanical unitas movement. I bought it from a paint artist who is also an avid watch collector. It wasn’t the cheapest piece but the price reflected on the shape. The watch went through a complete overhaul including a case and a dial restoration. Looks like brand new.

    • @HorologyBiology
      @HorologyBiology  Год назад

      Oooo that sounds nice. I bet the full refurb must have set you back a bit as that's a lot of work. I do agree with you though. Vintage watches are timeless and fully wearable today. As long as you look after them they will look after you.

    Great job Matt, great job, these bumpers are awesome, the feel on the wrist as the rotor hits the spring - super nice 🙂
    The new camera is great - I watched carefully as you assembled the balance jewels; on camera it looks so easy, I always need around 6 goes. Either the chaton and jewel are not aligned so the jewel pokes out one side, or something goes wrong. So back in the solvent, add the dab of oil try again. I must be doing something wrong because it's not getting easier, grrrr.
