Rolex is the only brand I like from your list. No biggie. We all have different tastes.

Nothing wrong with that, different strokes for different folks. Some Omegas I like some I don't. I have this Seamaster and wouldn't mind adding a Speedmaster at some point, but if they don't do it for you nothing wrong at all.

So far anything Omega that caught my eye is just too big/thick for my scrawny wrists.

I did have a 1970ish Constellation on strap, 14K I think, day/date back in the day. I gave it to a friend at a college party after tee many martoonis.

Nice diverse collection of brands you have there.

Hard to go wrong with the iconic speedy. I favor AP and Rolex myself, but I have one modern speedy and one vintage speedy (and the vintage pieces are not getting any easier to find).

I love Omega as a brand and company. Great quality and great history. I've owned several including a few Speedys but none have survived in my collection.

I like Omega, its the brand that got me interested in watches many years ago but their current line up does not sing to me...

Their previous did, mine PO 2500D...

Omega Seamaster Professional was my very first high end watch. I still have it to this day and it is in my rotation of all my watches. Omega watches are made with the same quality and finish as Rolex!

I really like Omegas. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a sea master professional or planet ocean

I think they make some great divers, but then they go and ruin them with that god awful helium escape valve!

That's a lot of watches to buy in 2 years! Gotta be 50k-100k depending on models.

I can't wait for you to post a pic of these beauties! I can't believe you haven't already!
