    Mido Multi Star TV Case 70'S Vintage Automatic Men's Watch Swiss ETA 2879 - MIDO introduced their first TV watch in 1973. Patek did not release the Nautilus until 1976, good review but this shoud be corrected, in any case the Nautilus has many similarities to Mido TV Case same as the Glashutte Original of Soviet era East Germany, Mido TV case is the Original look at the Mido Multi Star. last but not least: In 1979 Piaget introduced the Polo, after the 1976 Nautilus and 6 Years after Mido Multistar TV case.

    I couldn't decide between Green and Blue, but after watching your video, I went with Green. I think the gradients look nicer on Green compared to Blue. Can you share the link to the strap you use?

    Just discovered you channel. Cool review of such an underrated watch, altough in Mexico they are a bit more known. Recently acquired the special edition "Season 01" with the multicolor dial and it's so nice and fresh. the best watch I have seen from MIDO in a long time. BTW the orange strap is super cool.

    Well done Dang.
    Great review for a stunning watch. I really like the big date series, especially the green one.
    May I ask you smth? Is it just me or is it actually a matter of luck for someone to get the right fit on the bracelet? I mean I see no microadjustment and no half links.
    How can i be sure that the watch will be neither too tight nor too loose?
    I'm ready to pull the trigger and this is the only thing holding me back.

    • @JimiTime1
      @JimiTime1  6 месяцев назад +1

      Thank for the kind words man!
      The bracelet depends on how you like to wear it. I like my bracelet on the snug side. I think the size of each link helps immensely get a better fit, but a micro adjustment would be awesome!

    Excellent review, became a subscriber. I bought one with the orange strap few weeks ago and I love it. My father gave me his Mido commander 34 mm PVD coated 50 year old watch in great condition and therefore agree with you on top quality for price. If I may come with one suggestion to ask you to say cm/mm when you use inches in your review as we are for certain many in europe who like to follow your videos.

    Great review and for someone who's ad-libbing you flow so well 👏🏼👌🏻 nice footage as well, but It's your delivery that feels so natural and not forced. Mido fly under so many peoples radar, but this watch will change that, and what a beauty it is, remember this watch was 1st released in 1973, and the Aquanaut in 1997. Such a Hugh amount of watch for your money and one for me to collect.
