My story...
Omega was the first watch (brand) to get into my head, way back when, I don't even know how young I was.
I got seriously into luxury watches 10 years ago.
I went through MANY Omega's, and countless other brands.
In the beginning, I always put off buying a Rolex, they never really did much for me. Plus I thought they were over valued. I finally got over the mental barrier, and bought an Explorer 114270 and immediately realised - "oh ok, this is what all the fuss is about?". Such a gorgeously simple, yet exquisitely beautiful object!
I then bought a Datejust 116200, and since then I have quite literally been through over a quarter of a million dollars worth of luxury watches.
So many Omega's, so many Rolex's, and so many others also.
I've recently been selling down my collection, and the sale of my Rolex's and the huge profits I made from them (I guess they weren't over valued after all) along with the sale of many other pieces allowed me to completely pay off my mortgage.
I am now down to a final few watches, 10 actually. Still a few Omega's, others, and just one Rolex, my DJ.
And that Datejust I bought way back when, is probably going to end up being my one and only watch.
There's just something about it (comfort, design, looks, solidity, reliability, history, hell even liquidity).
So the watch that came from a brand that meant little to me in the beginning has ended up becoming my most sentimental watch.
They do make a good watch actually, do Rolex!
