Nothing fancy here........just how I enjoy myself.
I hope you enjoy what I shoot as well.

Picked this watch up recently from Exquisite Timepieces in Naples, FL. Shout out to Tyler, my guy there. This is a re-issue of the famous and beloved 6139 Seiko "Pogue" chronograph. Not a mirror image, of course, but an evolution of the idea of a chronograph. Please enjoy.....

Unboxing & Review: LOVO Limited Edition Murano Glass Art Watch By Massimiliano Schiavon Art Team
Переглядів 53Місяць тому
On my recent, first time ever trip to Venice & Murano Italy we came to this studio and working hot shop. And I came across these beautiful Murano art glass watches. Watches created by the son, Massimiliano Schiavon, as a tribute to his late father; who loved both glass art and watches. Much as my father did. So I bought this one as a memory of my father. I think it's gorgeous. Hope you will too.

❤❤❤❤❤️❤️
Agree....its a great watch.
Not my color way but definitely a cool watch. Do you have an idea if Seiko‘s solar technology is as good as the Citizen Eco Drive Technology? Just wondering because I have several Citizens which charge very well and I have a Casio G-Shock G-Steel that needs very bright direct sunlight to charge properly. And I have no solar powered Seiko yet. 🕐⚙️🍸
Seiko uses a very similar technology to Casio and Citizen. I've owned solar watches from all three companies, including G-Shocks and Oceanus watches. I've never had any problems with charging any of them. They all work perfectly.
@@saleendriver Thank you for the info.
You're most welcome
I like Vic but I don't see any denomination or follower of Jesus Christ could support the anti American, anti God, pro Muslim, pro alphabet, pro abortion, party but I have heard him say he was a catholic so....
Well, I don't know enough about Vik's background to comment one way or the other on that. But you know what? If he can ask me questions, then I can ask him questions too. And maybe I will.
Good to see your back sir!
Thank you. Guess I need a break once in a while.....to break up the routine.
53:48 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I can’t stop laughing 🤣 I keep rewinding it. I don’t know, it was just funny af!
What I say?
@@saleendriver Click on the blue timestamp. Actually you can back it up a few seconds too. I laughed a lot in this show. 😂🤣 It was cool to hear all your opinions on everything that’s happened and I’ve been waiting for this! 👍🏼
I am glad you were entertained.
Your back! I was at work.
Is OK.....come on any time you can.
Enjoy the new watch! I have an original Pogue from 1976. Not only is the new version not mechanical - the reason the original became so famous as the first automatic in space, as you said - but the original had a nice day-date function. Watching the chronograph seconds hand sweep in your video, while it is obviously quartz, I thought Seiko put their mechaquartz movement in these new models to make it run smoothly, like a mechanical movement would produce. Obviously not! I liked the links on the new bracelet, echoing the oyster style.
You're right, of course.....there are significant differences from the original to this one. I've owned both versions. But that's the nature of progress I guess. I do like this one better slightly due to the fact its easier to live with in every way.
@@saleendriver I can see the convenience. Nostalgia ain't what it used to be! 😆
No, rarely is.
How many disclaimers do you want on the website 😂😂😂 If you order and they don’t gave stock upto 30 days for a refund, no thanks
Gotcha.
Nice watch to
Thank you
You are funny with the trolls lol 😅
I try sir.....I try.
If you see a upside down USA flag It could mean dire distress💀💀💀 extreme emergency💀💀💀 threat to life💀💀💀 and country in danger💀💀💀
Correct. Our country is experiencing all that.
It's been a minute since I stopped by here, Dane! I hope that Mr. Zelos is doing well!! I feel your pain re: limited micro-adjust woes!! I picked up a Hamilton Khaki King back in 2020 during the Pandemic, and experienced the same exact bracelet issue that you're having with this watch, as the Khaki King clasp only has 2 holes of micro-adjust. If I took a link OUT and moved the micro-adjust wide open it was too tight...if I put the link back IN and moved the micro-adjust inwards, it was still too loose!! If Hamilton had only put ONE MORE damn hole of micro-adjust on the clasp I woulda been all set!! This story has a happy ending tho, as I've since lost all of those Covid pounds, my wrist shrunk, and I can now get a good fit!🤣 I'm thinking of picking up one of these Pogue-style Speedtimers ($500 from Sakurawatches!) and was concerned about this very issue, so thanks for showing it!!! I look forward to your inevitable Thresher review!! Mazel!! 🎉🎉
I am fine, thank you for asking. Welcome back here sir. Once I get the Thresher in I'll post a review. I am pretty sure it will be positive.
Seiko, Tissot, and Hamilton all make really nice entry level luxury watches. That’s a really nice piece. Big fan of the Pepsi bezel. Actually wearing my Tudor watch with the Pepsi bezel right now. But for $750, I don’t think you can go wrong with that Seiko. As you always say, wear it in good health.
I do love the Pepsi bezel.....even though I'm a Coke Zero guy. I do enjoy this watch. Glad you enjoyed the video.
@@saleendriverWhere did you get this from? Everywhere I look (including Seiko) says they’re not available yet. This is a very affordable watch. One I could probably add now, or very soon. I need a couple of watches in this price range. Also, is it a heavy watch? It looks pretty heavy duty but looks can be deceiving. I like a nice heavy watch now and again
Bought it from Exquisite Timepieces in Naples, FL It has good weight to it, being all steel. I think you need one of these in your life sir.
@@saleendriver Aha! I did see it on their website but it was sold out I believe. And I agree, I think one of these would look nice on my wrist. To be able to get this and a Hamilton Jazzmaster for under $1700 is a great deal
Keep checking their site. They will get more. I'd call the store, talk to Tyler. Tell him I sent you to him, you're interested in this watch and ask him to contact you when one shows up......or pre-order one from him and he can ship it to you when he gets one. Tyler is excellent to work with.
There is a solution for the problem with the bracelet. I had the EXACT same issue. If you go to UNCLE SEIKO, they sell a replacement clasp cover that has one more set of holes on the micro adjust. They only cost $12 each. They work fantastic and was perfect.
I found out about that via the Random Rob Discord group. Think I'll order one.
I am in Waycross at my mom's house, have 8 inches so far and what's left of the eye is passing through now. Will be raining with wind all night into Tues and Wed...soaked S. Ga. man.
She isn't a big storm, but man was she ever a rain maker. Amazing.
I have low vision and the more I collect, I prefer a simple three hand with high visibility and no more complications other than perhaps a date. Thanks for bringing this maker to our attention. I just don't know how much I like the springbar situation. I favor the SW 200-1 and the ETA 2824-2.
I'm glad I found out about this brand. I am enjoying both watches I have from them quite a lot.
Are you gonna put on your rain boots and splash around?
No
Go back inside stay safe
I did. And its still raining!!!!!
I love me some mummified bracelets! I love that rehaut too. Very appealing,
Thank you sir.
Good times haha. Cool you got the close lightning strike on vid too.
And its still raining!!!!!
It looks like you really need a boat. O_o 🕐⚙️🍸
Yup
Damn man. That’s crazy. Stay safe down there.
I'm good. Stuck for the most part, but good. Had nowhere to go anyway.
It turned into a cat 1 hurricane just before landfall. I think it hit a little north of Sarasota. I’m in Volusia County so we are just getting a little rain is all.
Its making landfall now in the Big Bend of Florida as a minimal Cat 1 storm. Still can and will create havoc. Its all feeder bands down here now. Still going to be a not fun day.
@@saleendriveryeah true. Ya’ll got it worse than we did. Be safe!
And its still raining! Even after it stops where does the water go? Gonna take a while to recover.
How do you turn the watch on? I put in a new battery but pressed some buttons and now it doesn't turn on anymore
I don't know honestly. On some watches you have to bridge the positive pole of the battery to a spot on the movement to ground out the watch to get it to kick over. But I didn't replace a battery on this watch. I would suggest posting the question to the Breitling forum of WATCHUSEEK.COM and/or to one of the Breitling groups on Facebook. I'm sorry I couldn't be more help than that. Good luck.
think they should have gone no date on this one
I can see that. I like date complications, but I have many no-date watches. I agree it would have made for a slightly cleaner dial.
@@saleendriver yea or a framed one to match the indices, just looks a bit awkward compared to how good the rest of the watch is
Good point.
That is a stunning Zelos, sir. i love that it has a deployment buckle to keep the leather new with minimal wear to it
Couldn't agree more!
This is a very good looking dress watch. I think it is a keeper. 🕐⚙️🍸
Well for me pretty much all Zelos are keepers. But I agree, I do like the way this dress watch looks.
Very sharp! Really like the dial and markers, and always love the open case back.
Agreed.
@@saleendriverHey Saleen. What was the name of the company you get your watch winder boxes from? I can’t remember in my old age lol. Thank you

@@saleendriver Awesome. Thank you
Any time good sir
I just got gifted this watch. He said breitling wouldn't repair it. Hopefully I can find a local repair shop that will fix it.
Should be able to find a local place. I'd also recommend joining some of the Breitling groups on Facebook and asking if folks there can recommend a place to get it worked on. Might have to ship it off, but at least it will get fixed. Good luck sir.
@saleendriver thank for the tips. Will do.
Glad to help. You'll find someone to fix it. There will always be someone.
@saleendriver I got lucky. All it needed was a battery and a wristband that fit me. What a blessing.
Very good news. Now you can enjoy it.
Great watches 👍
Thank you.
This is the exact model/reference I want. I remember seeing these as a teen in the 90s
Go find one! You will not regret getting one.
I bought that very watch last Christmas. As a huge Sinatra fan, I feel honored every time I wear it on my wrist.
Pretty much everyone seems to like this watch.
@saleendriver I have two of them actually. The one in the video and one with a rectangular face
I know you are enjoying them both. I didn't know there was a rectangular version.
@saleendriver it's a different style than the watch in the video, but still a Bulova Sinatra watch.
I looked it up. Very nice.
Elshan has made a killer watch, and he has shown that he's not slowing down. I love it
Elshan is not only not slowing down, he's hitting the accelerator. Hard.
I’m sure I’ve asked you this before, but what is your favorite Zelos watch? Looking at their site, I really like the Spearfish Dual Time Ocean Blue. You have an awesome collection my man. Always enjoy the videos
My favorite Zelos is my Mirage Tourbillon. My favorite Zelos model lineup is the ZX.
Zeeeelos 🙏✡️
Indeed
All the best to our mutual friend Jason . I feel Gealous for the Pogue he bought from you. I hope to have the reissue of Seiko very soon 😅
I look for that re-issue to join my collection as well.
Beautiful watch and beautiful revew. Many thanks ,Mr Zelos
All the best and good health to your Mother.
Thank you
What eBay seller did you purchase this from, do they sell other watches, I'm looking for X-33 also, but I'm not sure about buying one on eBay as I'm worried I'll get a fake one.
Well, I know right now.....today.....a place I've worked with for years, European Watch Company, has an X33 Maristimer for sale right now. And everything they sell is 100% authentic. As for this watch, it was aluxtrader, but I don't think they have any more of these.
@@saleendriver Thanks for the information much appreciated
No problem.....glad to help.
I got number 35. Love it! Paired it with a navy saffiano leather strap from Delugs. Perfect combination 😍
Enjoy it sir. I definitely will.
This is a great looking summer watch. Crown at the four hour position is always great. No sticking into the wrist while riding a bicycle is a very practical thing to me. 🕐⚙️🍸
I agree. Great color for summer.
Happy Monday Dane!
Thank you sir. And Happy Monday to you.
The meaning of this flag is meaning that a country is under distress, an extreme emergency, or a country is in danger.
Correct.
Good stuff! Just like you, I also have a 7.25" wrist & usually don't go sub 40mm (except for dress watches) but had to make an exception because Tantalum (steel Nova 2's are even more dressy)! Also, it's a nice watch, LOL! I was a little reluctant (due to the size) but after wearing it for two days, I'm starting to used to the size but still prefer 40mm - 45mm when possible. Congrats, wear in good health!
Your experience pretty much mirrors mine. I think we will both enjoy this watch.
Dane, your Zelos problem is a good problem to have 😁. Tantalum is an attractive case metal. I like it.
If my Zelos addiction is a problem, I don't want to be cured.
@@saleendriver Well said 👍😁
Never cure me.......
@@saleendriver Hey, Dane. I just saw that Doxa is releasing a new limited edition Clive Cussler 300 Sharkhunter. Apparently, to commemorate what would have been his 93rd birthday, Doxa is making 93 of this limited edition release. Considering you’re a fan and got the previous Clive Cussler Doxa, I thought you might be interested. Of course, I would like you to get it so I can see you review it 😉😁. Personally, I think I like this new version with the distressed black dial rather than the other one with the parchment tan dial.
I will look into this! I didn't know. If I can get one I probably will. Thank you for the tip.
