The Watch Thread - Part 12

[TeenTitan01]

Going back to the speedy discussion, i own a couple of speedies and would like to clarify my understanding so feel free to chip in:

• I believe its true that Omega did not design the speedy as a watch for astronauts. It was simply picked up and tested by NASA engineers. And that was the 321 or pre-moon series
• Also NASA qualified meant something then as I believe the battery of tests included other brands that failed. But I am not so sure that even at that time the speedy was the ONLY one that made.
• Nevertheless the russians also brought Russian watches into space and you know Russian movements ain't that great but still made the trip and back...not sure about their value now but certainly not like the Speedy, but good enough for space (but didn't land on the moon of course).
• Seiko chrono also made it to space around the same time with other (NASA?) astronauts soon after and the movement was created around the same time as the speedy.
• Point is many watches and movements of that time went to space and came back safely. but the speedy 321 landed on the moon. And the toughest part for the watch is takeoff and re-entry mainly due to vibrations, and extreme temperatures ( i doubt temperature on the moon i colder than space, given the sun shines on the spot where they landed).
• And also an automatic winding system cannot work without gravity.

comments/thoughts, anyone and everyone?

不要那麼講咧。。。我的十五春花都是花將近二十年的時間搜集來的。你還有時間慢慢找，慢慢挑，慢慢集，我年過42，就要開始節制了。。。

買錶不必買貴，最重要是買可靠，買耐用，買信譽就好。至於保不保值，升不升值，跌不跌值，不應該是買錶的主要考量。因為買錶的主要，只是為了報時。買多過兩隻就只為紀念某個日子。。。

我年過42 ??!! u ish rabbikt .. I tot u cow ?? .. like dat no call u ah hia liao .. we must fight month to see who ish ah hia

Question to everybuddy! What sub 10K dress watch would you get? Why?

 

[gaoxing84]

Oh, haha, I won't buy a watch that I don't like just because it's a good deal though. Cos sometimes good deals will get burnt, even if you check and check and check, later will have problem that crop up... Plus there are problems that won't be obvious during a 10 minute check when dealing.

That's why must do home work lol.
Just based on the previous saga. Lol
