I hate you.Â

Quoted:
I hate you. Sold a pistol I never shot. Then watched watchrecon like a hawk for a 2254.50 for weeks to snag a deal (most pre owned go for $1400-2400 depending on how proud they are of it). One of the big omega sellers on WUS had this guy pop up for a song with all the stuff and service history, but in titanium. It was a no brainer. Take things worth money not being used and get something I can use everyday.

| Does it get much wrist time compared to the others ? |
| Sweet. Never seen this GMT before. |

Sweet. Never seen this GMT before. I get that a lot, it's a pretty weird watch. |
| Of the people who have owned both, or are familiar with them, is the Rolex really worth 2-3 times the omega? I like the SS submariner, but at 7-8 k, seems to pricey for a retirement gift yo myself. I like the waterproof omega dive watches, and the price. Is it snob appeal? Or is there a real difference? I've looked at both, and the rational side  of me says "get a victorionox, 2 18 year old hookers, and an eight ball and call it even. |

I like subs a lot - really like the no date models. That said in a sport / dive watch the Omega called my name more as I LOVE the sword hands. My #2 grail is a 39mm Explorer which I'll have one day. For what it's worth I passed over a early 2000's sub for the Seamaster. |

1976 Speedmaster moon watch. 100% original, have the bracelet too. I love the watch, great character and works with every outing. http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r625/Svlachos11/IMG_0375.jpg |

Super cool look. I'm kicking around an original speedmaster or I might night on a dark side of The moon |

Quoted:
I would love an Omega, but I can't justify the cost. I really love my Seiko SKX 007. It's held up quite well, and I'll probably spring for an Omega when it finally dies. I anticipate that will be a long time from now.
