HELP! Me decide.......

Ok boys after some pretty big moves to start the year I have found myself without my daily wear after trading the BOR. So, I'm truly torn between two and would love your opinions. It's between 2- 1) Tudor Black Bay (blue bezel)- this watch is actually done nothing for me until I put it on my wrist and I really like it! My concern is that I'll get bored with it quick......
2) Omega PO 45m- I love the idea of an Omega as a daily wearer! I've always really liked this watch and the 45 really wears like a 43 to me for some reason. So Gents, please let me know what you think, and I welcome all comments, and thanks as always!!!!

PO for me...I've had my eye on that one myself for some time, just never actually jumped for some reason.
Black Bay seems dull to me.

I'd probably pick the Tudor out of those two, have you considered the seamaster master co axial. I love mine, it's so versatile, looks good on the bracelet, leather strap and the omega NATO is a amazing.

cannot go wrong with either...but think I'd prefer the PO on rubber, Tudor on bracelet.

...or go pre-owned and get both!

Tudor for me! I purchased a Black Bay Red on a strap 1 month ago and have worn it every day since then. Love the vintage look, great lume and legibility. Wore my 16610 Sub yesterday and really missed the Black Bay. Shes back on my wrist today.

Funny, I was in the AD Friday just wasting time. Put the Bkack Bay next to the Sub and preferred the Bkack Bay! I was telling my wife how I felt like I SHOULD like the Sub better but I just plain didn't.

Both fine watches, but the for the Tudor is the more handsome watch. The bezel, markers, and dial colours just work so well together.

Good luck with your choice.

I would go Black Bay for sure...the new generation of Tudors are spectacular and give you an amazing bang for the buck. My only suggestion would be to try the Pelagos as well.

I did try the Pelagos, the blue was just not for me. Leaning towards the Tudor BB....

Tough choice, I would probably take the Black BB first, then the PO.

Tough one indeed... I'd go with the Omega, looks great on both bracelet and rubber.

Tudor would be an easy choice for me. Not a huge fan of that particular Omega.

I like that bit of orange on the PO, more interesting look for me.

Omega. The co-axial escapement is far far better than the (run of the mill) ETA in the Black Bay. The bracelet is superior too, I don't really like the huge center links in the Tudor. Now all that said the Tudor would still be a good choice but I could see getting bored with it. BB Red though I think is far more interesting than the blue or black bezel versions.
