Blancpain vs Omega

[Lange1]

Hi all. I'm stuck in a tough decision between Omega DSOM vs Blancpain L evolution R. I love to own both watches but only one will be a winner.
Only cons: Omega WR 50m and Blancpain no running second hand.
Pros: love everything.
Which one is the winner? Thinking about long term relationship.
Thanks

Aesthetically speaking.. I find the BP more attractive. Just my humble 2 cents.

Both look super cool. I'm goin with the Blancpain here

DSOM for me!

Considering the 3570.50 is also 50WR it should be a non issue over time for daily wear -- some swim with their classic speedys even. Although the Blancpain is nice, I think it'll be a forgotten reference in time. Speedmasters of all walks seem to instantly etch their place into the watch community.

As a side note the 9300 can be used as a second time zone if you start the chrono at 1200 or 2400 hrs because of its two-hand register.

The only big PRO I see for the BP is that the steel may act as a dampener for the ceramic whereas the DSOM is all ceramic and inherently more fragile.

Omega, very stealth.

Blancpain vote here

[towernick]

Omega, in person, it's stunning.

BP is Haute Horologie. One of the finest watch brands in the world. Omega is mid-tier, IMO. But you should buy what speaks to you.

Blancpain without a doubt. I feel the DSOM is overpriced.

[Lange1]

I have a chance to tried it on when it released in Omega boutique and 90% sure this l was the one but WR 50m stop me to go forward for daily watch.

I somehow think that one, at least I, would get tired of either choice. I'd look at some nice JLC chronos as well.

[p_mcgee]

I'm a fan of the dark side, but that Blancpain is simply a better looking watch.

[benlee]

I can't say about the Blancpain because I haven't seen it but I own the DSOTM and I can say it's an awesome watch, even in the context of my collection. The all Ceramic case is very well finished and the watch wears comfortable despite it's size. I love that it's all black, my favorite color and ceramic is resistant to scratches, which means the watch looks exactly the same as when I bought in 3 months ago. 50m water resistance is fine unless you plan to go diving.

[Lange1]

I love JLC brand and rich history but I really want to own one but nothing really really interesting me. I feel like all of their master compressor and master control watches are missing something. The only watch I like in JLC is Amvox 5 & 7.

Beautiful. It fit you perfectly.

I love the BP but would buy the DSOTM. Better perceived value to me.

[raky]

My vote goes to the Omega, it is beautiful!

Much better pic of the DSOTM than the one at the beginning of the thread. I was going to say BP, but now I will say Omega...

True, but to you choose BP simply because it is a more prestigious brand?

Being completely honest, BP does nothing for me. Omega may be a "lesser" brand, but I would gladly choose the DSOM.

[malarky_hk]

Both beautiful watches and would love to own both. But if only one and its for the long haul...I'd pick the Omega. The classic looks will help with longevity.

[redsubby]

That Omega looks pretty hot in real life......I'd get it over the Blancpain

[Hairdude1]

Omega has hit a home run with the DSOTM

[beaglehusky]

+1 for Omega

[Cru Jones]

if BP, it would have to be a fifty fathom/bathyscape. between the two above, DSOTM easily.

[Lange1]

I have BL ff chono. Love the sapphire bezel nothing can compare to the quality of FF.

[JakubL]

I am huge lover of BP but this models does not say too much to me as for example Bathyscape so in this case I would take 100% Dark Side

[Lange1]

Will this GO Panomatic conger xl fit in this comparison category?
I have try it on and a deep affect on the dial was amazing also stunning case back movement show off.

[wantonebad]

You don't know the P-O-W-E-R of the dark side...
