The Watchful Magpie is a channel about watch collecting and all everything that goes with it. It's all about about having fun with your watch hobby and discovering new and interesting ways people tell time. I'll also be looking at all the stuff that surrounds watchs like straps, tools, watch winders, how to sell a watch and the best place to buy. So please subscribe and comment! Thank you
I’ve got the other 2 colours , one with a rubber strap the other with the very nice bracelet which can be switched between them in a minute . Should I have got the orange …..umm .
Thanks for sharing a very cool & interesting collection!!!! You mentioned dive watches and that is what I gravitate towards the most!!!! There is so much out there and this was a true joy to see!!!! I have subscribed and look forward to when you can show your other watches especially the divers!!!!
That Accurist is wild. I've never seen one before. I look at watches like that and I just don't understand how a human could engineer such a thing. Who worked out that cogs and springs could keep accurate time and how did they co-ordinate all those complications? My brain just doesn't perform well in that realm. It's almost like witchcraft to me.
That really is wildly colorful but it works! Also, seems to me that is quite rare to see the date wheel with the same color as the dial. The tan/wood dial almost appears that you are looking right through the watch and at the block of wood they are resting on.
Nice choices! I particularly like the Omega small seconds and Zenith Defy Revival. I am considering buying a Bulova Jetstar to "scratch the itch" of the Defy Revival. I'm only hesitant about the quality of the Bulova's bracelet. And as for the Skyline, I think the Christopher Ward Twelve is an exceptionally compelling affordable alternative.
That Swatch watch is performing a retrograde action, where a hand completes an unconventional or incomplete sweep and snaps back to an earlier position. Whereas a flyback chronograph is one that lets you reset the timing without stopping the chronograph. Both are similar, but functionally different. Farer has some watch models with lumed indices and they black-out the top surface such that the glow has to come out of the sides.
Your very nice accurist london remember me a lot a citizen minute repeaater i've had ,she had exactly the same configuration,do you know if it was a collaboration between them? Or accuracy london was using a citizen modul perhaps? I also love the swatch you show..enjoy this nice and original collection
I believe the Accurist GMT used a specific movement Accurist developed to celebrate the time this was produced. Thanks for watching. Yes that Swatch was / is something special :-)
Movements in the watches if interested are: The movements are as follows - all Zelos shown are Seiko N35 (I have a few in my collection that have other movements), Phoibos = N35, Duzu = Miyota 9039, Bulova Oceanographer = Miyota 821D, Oris New York Harbor Aquis = Oris 733-1, Zodia = SoProd C125, Citizen Spectrum = Citizen Cal 8210, Venezianico = Miyota 9039. I'll include this sort of information in comments going forward.
Well done, I bought number 112! Your review is spot on. The only odd thing is the black indices and hands are supposed to be black lum. It's supposed to glow for a very short period, but I don't seem to see anything at all, but actually I don't understand how black could be a lum at all? That aside, I love this watch.
Having purchased a midnight dial Hanhart Pioneer One last year I really love the brand. Eventually I’d like to get another with a red pusher, possibly the Pioneer Mk I. Another watch I’d like to get is the Bremont Supermarine S300 in white with steel bracelet. Yet another brand I’m quite taken with, but do not own, is Meistersinger-they have a number of pieces that I like the look of. However, I really need to see/hold them in person to decide on one.
You are the first watch enthusiast that I have come across that has made a list this extensive. Thank you, great work! I’m really enjoying your channel.
That Citizen Tsuyosa Spectrum is a beauty! You have a crazy cool collection. Not all my cup of tea but still great pieces. Never seen so much color for one collection.
Enjoyed this. I’ve been wearing my IFL ‘Post Melone’ Casioak recently - it’s quite expensive for what it is and was something of an impulse purchase but such a fun colourful summer piece 🙂
