Similar concepts, similar heritage, one can be had used for $7,800 used and the other for $2,800 used. Me, I'd rather have the Longines (even though I am a lifelong Omega fan) because I would $5,000 left over for another very nice piece or two and I LOVE variety.

| I’m an Omega fan. I have an older Speedmaster (moon watch) and a somewhat newer Seamaster 300m. I’ve thinking of adding another recently so I vote Omega based solely on my own likes. |

| I am quite happy with my Seiko SKXs. A watch is just a time-keeping tool. |
Liberty is meaningless where the right to utter one's thoughts and opinions has ceased to exist. That, of all rights, is the dread of tyrants. It is the right which they first of all strike down. They know its power. F. Douglass

All of my premium watches have been purchased gently used pre-owned - many still under warranty. |

I don't know what will happen, or if anything will happen. But if something does, I'd rather be the guy with a gun than the guy without one.

I REALLY LOVE the Tag Monaco….the (sold out, of course) new Gulf white edition (971 made) is going for above retail on eBay and the like….however…. I see the other ones for really good prices….still noodling… |
