Omega Speedmaster Apollo 8: Rolex Watches x 4; Patek Philippe & Grand Seiko

- Contact tmosso@thewatchbox.com for pricing and availability; Either I have it, or I can get it! Wake up with watches and host Tim Mosso! The “Watches Live” live Tuesday evening livestream has moved to Wednesday morning with a full array of Rolex watches, Omega watches, and high complications from brands as varied as Patek Philippe and Arnold & Son.
Rolex features prominently thanks to two Rolex Day Date models from different eras; the Day Date Oysterquartz and its tapestry tritium dial are redolent of 1970s design, and the Day Date 40 speaks to the current-day preference for discretion. A rare Rolex Cellini Cestello in white gold demonstrates Rolex’s unsung penchant for imaginative case design (hinge lugs!) and ultra-thin case construction (6.4mm!). Finally, a Datejust Turn-O-Graph (Rolex Thunderbird) showcases the company’s skill with engine turned-white gold and unconventional pilot’s watches.
Omega’s Speedmaster and Seamaster families receive attention thanks to two outstanding Representatives. The 2018 Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon “Apollo 8” stuns with its openworked dial, exclusive Moonwatch caliber 1869 with laser-ablated bridges and plates. The “Dark Side” black ceramic case and fully lumned ceramic tachymeter impress alongside the most audacious Moonwatch since Omega’s 2015 Silver Snoopy. The rare and quirky Omega Seamaster Bullhead “Rio 2016” is a 316-piece limited series dedicated to the Rio Di Janeiro Olympic Games of 2016; with its bullhead chronograph system, the nostalgic nods to vintage Omega Seamasrer 146.011, and the wearable 43x43mm case, this is a standout even by Omega limited edition standards.
High horology gets its due thanks to an FP Journe Tourbillon Souverain in rose gold and a Patek Philippe 5170G chronograph with Tiffany & Co. co-signed dial. Arnold & Son’s spectacular dead beat seconds CTB chronograph in rose gold delights with its shuffle-step cadence. The Jaeger LeCoultre Amvox III combines rose gold, scratch-resistant black ceramic, a GMT second time zone, and a tourbillon. For good measure, this 300 piece limited edition JLC watch includes a thoughtful pointer date that jumps over the tourbillon during the transition from the 31st of the month to the first of the following month.
Fans of complicated dive watches will adore the brash rubber clad Ulysse Nardin Marine Perpetual and the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms flyback chronograph. The Ulysse Nardin impresses with its Ludwig Oechsling-designed calendar system and sapphire-set diving bezel; Blancpain’s flyback chronograph co-exists with the basic 50 Fathoms’ 300-meter water resistance.

That "Dark Side" case speedy has the most dynamic dial on an Omega for sure
I love that Apollo 8 ... That would be my choice for a Speedmaster.
I have the traditional Speedy, but tried this one on in February and it is definitely on my list. It is really something on the wrist..
MrCheesetastic Agree that you have to put it on the wrist to really appreciate that dial.
Love my Apollo 8. I have it on a nato instead. Although I never knew it was white gold markers. Good to know that this model was upgraded from standard issue Speedmasters.
My orange dial speedmaster also has gold markers
After watching Tim’s videos, I cautiously start realizing that I am learning enough to feel that I could hold my own in a conversation about watches. Thanks Tim!
Love the Apollo 8 Speedy👍
That omega is amazing. The more you look at it the crazier it gets in a good way
Thumbnail watch = my favorite Omega! 🔥
I love your reviews. You talk fast, like a salesman but you have the knowledge to back it up. You're a true pro. Keep up the good work
Good show I stayed up alll night watching the older videos. I have a better understanding of watche complications
Great show as always Tim, I couldn’t really catch the live show so just caught up when I could. As long as you’re just making videos I’m happy.
What a nice surprise!!! If Govberg & Co. doesn’t give you a nice bonus for your dedication, they’re gonna lose out on a good man! Thanks Tim, great substitute for my morning coffee!
Dear Tim, I'm really enjoying your programmes. You make all watches special.
Thank you, Wahid! I love and respect all watches, and I try to share my enthusiasm with our collector community here on RUclips.
Best,
Tim
Great show Tim! The fortis is such a great surprise. The bullhead is awesome. The Apollo 8 very very cool. I don’t like AP but that one is tempting (I really want an hublot all black 2)
That Ulysse dive watch is such a beautiful watch.
Always a pleasure to hear Tim explaining every watch. Great video as always.
Dang... That watch is a stunner. Loved it too
Good morning Tim. Los Angeles here. Great show here. Keep up the fantastic work!
FROM ALL THIS WATCHES I WILL TAKE THE OMEGA SPEEDMASTER FOR SURE....
Thanks Tim ✌️ great show and awesome watches!
Well done Tim.
I love that Lange calendar piece, I just wish it was a little bigger especially given all the sub dials
I'm a huge fan of this new timing. I was never available to catch it live anyway, and I have no signal at home. So by the next day I will have forgotten about it. This way I can click on the notification in the morning, and spend my breaks and lunch watching. Gets two thumbs up from me!
Thank you, Matt! So far, viewership in this new time slot has been excellent. My goal was to create the morning show that I'd want to watch.
Best,
Tim
just brilliant again Tim keep it coming!
That "Rio 2016" Omega is a must for any collector indeed. I would love to own and wear it constantly simply because is was made for that purpose. Great show Tim, as always!!!!
I share your unreserved enthusiasm for that model. It might have been my favorite among all models on the table tonight... a dead heat with the Grand Seiko.
Best,
Tim
That Cellini is so special, wow.
Wowzzza what a blend of watches brands comps an styles from the best. Thank you Tim for another great lesson in watches. Safe cycling sir.
Thank you, Dave! Cycling is my life when I'm not working with watches, and I'll be back on the road this Saturday. Ride with me if you're in the Philly area!
Best,
Tim
Very exciting and well presented video. Your enthusiasm is infectious 👍
Thank you, John! I still love this hobby and the watches I experience within it.
Best,
Tim
Good morning Tim, this new schedule actually works better for me. However I'll miss the banter with everyone in the live chat.
Thanks for understanding! I'll try to stay accessible and responsive within these comments.
Best,
Tim
If I understand correctly, all of this was done by heart by Tim. Wow, just wow. Sad to see the live part go though. Is there a way you can keep the interaction going? And will Brian still be on air on Wednesday?
Brian still will air on Wednesdays when he's available. The presentation I give is exactly as you describe; from the heart -- and from memory.
Best
Tim
Great video, well done.
Great show
Breguet watches always steal my heart.
LOVE that Oysterquartz !!
You're a man of refined and exquisite taste. It takes real connoisseurship to appreciate the significance and technical virtuosity of the Oysterquartz, and I share your enthusiasm for this underrated line.
Best,
Tim
Not a U.N. fan at all but man that black marine chronometer is sweet. Love the way the light dances on the gems.
best watch show on the internet!
Tim, a big thumbs up on your new show, the time works out well for me! Loved the collection of Rolex, something different then then the usual collection of Subs, Hulks, and GMTs. Thanks for that. But that Fortis is beyond the valley of out of control! Haven't see anything from them since the NATO chronos of the 90s. Nice to see they've been busy.
Keep doing what you're doing.
Cheers
You got it, Randy! The Fortis was overwhelming, and it's "Exhibit A" in my case for buying watches pre-owned. As a $19,825 new model, I would hesitate, but used at $6,500... wow!
Best,
Tim
@@the1916companywatchreviews Actually, amazing as the Fortis is, after watching the program again, you may have just sold me on that Rolex T-bird. I may have to take back my vow to just steer clear of the whole Rolex swamp, and buy one of those.
Hi Tim. Great show as always. Amazing array of pieces. No problem with the recorded version of the show but certainly not keen on the 7am timing (noon here) - this means 2 shows on a Wednesday and none on a Tuesday. Any reason why a pre-recorded show can't still go out at the standard time?
Great selection Tim.
Please bring some Lange tourbillon to the table on the next show.
It will be great to seem them side by side!
Best,
Amintas
The Fortis F43.... WOW! I like it.. Also the Arnold & Son True Second very nice!!... Tim-ski, ceramic cases are very delicate. Drop them and they fracture at the lugs or crystal seat... delicate things amigo and not cheap to fix as you need to replace.
And it's roughly a $6,500 preowned watch, so the value potential is exceptional! Regarding ceramic cases, I think the hazards are over-stated. Dropping any luxury watch can result in a trip to the factory, and I usually tell people to evaluate their suitability for a ceramic watch in terms of whether or not they commonly fracture crystals or deeply dent their metal case watches.
Best,
Tim
Wow that rolex really caught me by surprise. I wold have taken this design to a new mainstream line next to the datejust.
Nice array tonight (its early evening in Manila) the time works for me too since I'm still in the office.
Hump day just got better!
De Bethune DB28 California Edition is my favorite watch on the table🥇
tim what can u say about the citizen eagle 7 cal 8200 vs the seiko 5 with 7s26?
I think this man knows his stuff. Wow.
46:29 - The only interesting watch out of the lot in my view. Wow, what a unique GS.
It's one of my favorites. I'd take that over a Snowflake every time.
Best,
Tim
Love that BullHead! Gonna miss Tim Live chats,,,,, without the laptop on the desk, gosh it does look something is missing.
Hi Alvin, I promise that I'll keep the live chat active on the Monday show. I'm adding more back-end discussion when I plan the Monday show, and the last three episodes have contained a large and growing live discussion segment.
Best,
Tim
@@@the1916companywatchreviews
Hi Tim, appreciate ur reply... understand when ur fan base grew, it is almost impossible to read the chat while doing the show, the msg kept coming in & b4 u can finish reading it, it got pushed downward with the newer msg. And it also rather difficult for u to focus on the watches review too. We totally understand is just that we need a short while to get used to it that all. Keep up the awesome works u guys been doing. Btw Tim, Watchbox Singapore is up & ready I will be dropping by to get myself poisoned. Lol
Tim, why is the Rolex Milgauss slightly more expensive than the Explorer II which offers date and 24 hour hand complications and Paraflex shock absorbers vs a Faraday case and nicer bracelet as the only obvious special features of the Milgauss?
Often, Arnold and Son catches my eye. That chronograph is elegant and top shelf. Has Kentucky Derby written all over it.
The bezel alone on the Fifty Fathoms is worth the price of admission. Too chunky and shiny for my wrist, though.
Props to DeBethune but I can never look past the amplifed Delta shape and the star trek association.
The Sax o Mat is spinning sex. Everything about it is perfection
The Omega is a delightful rare bird. Love the pusher placements. I can see owning something like that
Of all those, I think the Lange or the Omega would be the one I'd marry. The A&S CTB in white gold is more my speed than the rose gold version.
Best,
Tim
Thanks for the video T. Very nice watches. I loved the Omega Bullhead. I asked this question under another vid but I will repeat it here. Who is Laurent Ferrier made for? Who is their target consumer? I don’t find their watches appealing, and I can’t think of a profile that fits the brand. Please educate me.
I believe that the goal is to target FP Journe and Patek buyers. The Journe buyer is lured by LF's ready availability of steel (not so at Journe) and willingness to accommodate special requests and customs (also not so at Journe). The Patek buyer might be enticed by something of comparable quality but greater exclusivity. Check out the Galet Traveller Cloisonne to see a significant example of why I consider the Patek buyer a LF target.
Best,
Tim
I would prefer a Zenith Traveller Multicity alarm or a Pilot Doublematic over that Fortis...it’s cheaper, has a big date and world time...alarm power reserve, alarm on/off indicator, chronograph (high beat),... Why would you get the Fortis over a Zenith?
Digging the new schedule Tim!
This is like HSN for watch nerds.
Another gem Tim. Sign me up for Lange please and thank you :)
That intro music always reminds me of Aretha Franklin’s Respect
That is when U.N. does best. When it doesn't try to be a Patek, or anything else.
Hi Tim,
I am considering a 15305or on strap. I am curious why you haven’t done a review and if you think it is a good buy, assuming i get the right #? Given how well the new double balance is doing i am surprised there isn’t more attention on these. Are there just not many on the market? I wonder what the production #’s are.
Thank you! Would be grateful for your help. Love your show
It must be that I've never had one to review. The steel model appears on occasion, but rose gold on a strap is a rarity among rarities. Rest assured that when I have a chance, I'll film a review.
Best,
Tim
WatchBox Reviews Thank you for the response Tim!! Really appreciate it. Very excited about the watch - trying it on Monday. The watch I’ve been wearing most is 5164r - and want to give it a rest and change things up (favorite watch I’ve ever owned at any price point). Do you have an idea of how many were produced of the 15305or? Amazing how few seem to be on the market. With the premiums for the new 41 skeletons (dont fit me) - confusing why these haven’t gone up more (not that i care), just a fascinating dynamic. Do you think its a good buy? Thanks again for your time!
WatchBox Reviews Also if you are ever in NY and i get it - you’re welcome to review it anytime!
Totally dig the Omega Bullhead , it wouldn't look out of place in a James Bond film , of course it would have to shoot laser beams or something deadly as well as keep good time .
It would look very at home in a Bond film. But Omega needs to stay on-brand, and I can't see a peripheral model getting serious $creen time. That said, I could imagine this as a flamboyant Bond villain's watch in a 007 film.
Best,
Tim
@@the1916companywatchreviews Yes , press one of the buttons and release the radioactive Hammerhead sharks !
Still getting used to the new format, but no issues. Fortis 🥃. Have you been to the Lange factory? Though, lacking normal content this week. Two days open. 🤔🤔🤔. Good show Mosso! 🥃
Sorry I will.admit I was texting and stuff with you in the background....then the cellini came on the screen...😍
It changed the whole show. And it makes me wonder what in God's name Rolex needs to do in order to succeed in the dress market. That Cellini is off the scale yet it's almost never seen.
Best,
Tim
unlimited Omega limited editions...
If there was ever a watch made with a mandate to "Scream Fortis" this is it.
Will take one of each please.
Third week in a row without Brian's show?
We do need to resolve the inconsistency of that show. I'm building a satellite studio in Brian's building, and that might make regular scheduling more viable.
Best,
Tim
So no more live videos I guess ?
Monday will remain live, and we'll shoot the Brian show live when he's available.
Best,
Tim
Is this show designed to phase out the "Watch Insider"?
No, that show airs when Brian is able to be in the studio. But I admit that the usual Wednesday show often feels like a less intense version of my two weekly inventory reviews on Watchbox Reviews.
Best,
Tim
You are eminently watchable, Tim, but the combination of watches on the table and your live interaction in the chat box is really cooking with gas.
The live chat experience meant a great deal to me. We'll see what the response and viewership looks like after a few runs with this time and format. If it looks like the old way was superior, we'll return to it.
Best,
Tim
That is a weirdo watch, but charismatic nevertheless
waking up with watches > waking up with a woman? Haha
Fewer regrets with the watches, for sure.

Tim
I don't like his accent. Sounds fishy.
I've been suspecting Russian collusion on this channel for a stint, myself.
"Long Island" is the Final Jeopardy answer.
