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.

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! |
