    That's Just One More Watch to you pal ;)

    I do rather enjoy his videos.

    It would be nice to see Pagani branch out from the homage designs. They do pretty well spec'd watches but I would like to see some original designs.

    I'm tempted by the Seagull 1963 with the sapphire crystal. It's a Chinese watch that doesn't pretend to be Italian, German or Swiss but still has a Swissy movement.

    I would take everything he says with a pinch of salt. Affiliate links galore, free review watches, sponsored reviews etc.

    Most Youtubers are desperate for content ("what video can I make today?") and it makes them beholden to wheover can supply them with a steady stream of 'things' to unbox/review.

    Not knocking him, it's the nature of the game. You see it with all types of products.

    In fairness he usually mentions if he has received a watch for free ( with a loud buzzer in the first few minutes ), also he does give the odd negative review

    on sale here for the next day or so.

    My friend has a previous incarnation of the pagani design sub rip off so I've seen it in the flesh. To be fair, it's serious value for money. Decent movement, ceramic bezel, sapphire crystal etc. I don't know how they make them so cheap. His criticism of it is the bezel is misaligned , realistically the bracelet is poor quality, the screw down crown is very very stiff and grainy, there's no AR coating, the crystal is flat etc For the money though, they've manged to put a decent watch together.

    These Chinese rip offs aren't my thing and I would have no interest in wearing one but if that doesn't bother you and you have very limited money to spend, you won't find much better quality wise at that very low price point. The pagani design watches are definitely a cut above the usual chinese crap if anyone has experience with Cadisen and the like.

    Go quartz and get a Casio Duro (Marlin) for about the same money. £76 + P&P on Amazon. A genuine original not some Chinese rip-off.

    That's a different type of watch though with it being a quartz. The OP may want an automatic or may really like rolex subs and want something that looks like it. For that money I'd personally opt for a vostok (I actually have one that never gets much wrist time to be honest), but hands down the pagani design is a better quality watch than a vostok. As the poster above alluded to, get what you like yourself. I was just pointing out that if he does get the Pagani, it's a well built watch for the money with a decent movement.

    It's a diver with 200m of water resistance as opposed to the PD's 100m which today hardly qualifies as a 'diver'. It has a quality bezel unlike the PD.

    The OP can spend his money how he likes but it pays to consider alternative options which is what forums are for.

    It sure is.

    Although "Swimming Military Army" with only 50m WR, I wonder which army and if they just run through puddles. :)

    And the original speedmasters (which did end up being dunked in the ocean on re-entry from orbit) only had 3ATM I believe - nothing wrong with 30m wr if it's actually 30m - you can go swimming with that no problems. You can dive to normal depths with a 50m too - deepest I've been was 28m. 200m nowadays (and especially for most desk divers out there :D) means very little - just like Omega's HE valve ;)

    If you have a 3atm watch that is actually tested to that then you shouldn't have much issues swimming with it - a 3atm watch may very well be on a leather strap though which wouldn't do well in water!

    They didn't get dunked, at least not any time I saw it on TV. They were still inside the capsule when it parachuted into the ocean.

    Here's one photo anyway - I saw a different one previously but my google-fu isn't working 100% right now. Anyhow 3ATM is perfectly fine for dips (as long as the manufacturer isn't just putting a 3atm tag on it and not sealing the watch correctly) - you'll see plenty of others who swim/shower etc. with their speedmasters.

    That capsule isn't the right way up. Could be a photo of a training exercise.

    Not saying it never happened but normally they didn't even get their feet wet.

    The latest video from the chirpy little Aussie-Scot. His review of the gold-tone Seiko 5 Model SNZH60 'Sports Watch'.
    I like the guy and he's very prolific.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tzsFPe76Fo&t=604s

    IMO a tacky piece of male jewellery.

    That's a Gemini mission splashdown by the look of it. That's how the righted themselves automatically. The hatches are still closed so the guys and their Speedies are still inside. The guy in the water is likely another Navy diver who jumped in already.

    The only 60's era mission I can think of where anyone left the capsule and jumped into the water was Gus Grissom's Mercury splashdown. I'm not sure he was even wearing a Speedie at that stage of the game? It certainly wasn't yet the official flight watch anyway.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Right you are - the previous photo I saw was on WUS some time ago so it could well have been "fake news" :D

    Did get it confirmed:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega_Speedmaster

    that the first official flight the Speedmaster took once flight approved was Gemini 3 - here's a video of the recovery and certainly the astronauts weren't "dunked" - perhaps splashed a little :P
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CnNUra7I1M

    At 1:30:00ish I don't know if that's the speedmaster on the wrist as the astronaut is winched up or part of the winch contraption.

    It's a watch and presumably the Speedmaster but he's wearing the watch on the inside of his wrist. This should be de rigueur for all Speedo owners from now on. :-)

    I like JOMW - he's consistent enough in reviewing in that he usually includes criticisms and he's open about when he's been provided with a free watch. Better than a lot.

    I was ready to 'pull the trigger' on it myself but then decided to take a year's break from watch buying. Hope you post photos and give your impressions of it once it arrives as I could probably be in the market for one this time next year.

    A review of the new Invicta 1953, a Rolex homage that actually looks understated and quite good IMO.

    Citizen NY2300 was great too at that price point - discontinued now but both it and the NY0040 were fantastic tool dive watches.
