li'm kinda confused right now which omega did you try on?
this one:
or that one:
if you tried on the second one (300m ceramic)it boils down to personal preference IMO but if you tried on the first one (300 co-axial) then go with that one if you consider buy the breitling or an omega

Did not get much interest on WUS for my Tudor.
Listed it on eBay if anybody is interested.

Always appreciate the insight.
I have an offer for $1800 from a reputable poster on WUS. I think that I might take it. I paid $1550 for the watch about 18 months ago

Is watch buying stressful for anyone else?
With my speedmaster, it took almost an additional month of hardcore research and visits to AD's and boutiques to make sure it's what I really wanted. At the moment, I still can't decide if I want the Tangente in 35 or 38, or even if I want it at all. The main thing that bugs me is that the Tangente is geared more toward dressy occasions. I want a watch that I can wear during most of my college semester.

Strap Change
Bought myself a new strap, always liked the bond nato strap but just recently i found out that this is the real pattern and not the black/grey nato you generally see
Really compliments the seiko if you ask me

Evad3, any particular reason why you ended up purchasing a 114060 Sub. (as opposed to any other model)? Apologies if you've already answered this…
Close to pulling the trigger on a Sub. myself, and at the value we're talking I want to nail every detail; buyer's remorse, not even once. Ta

A Rolex Sub must be the 'safest' choice ever made.
Finishing is superb, movement is superb but there are others that can match that with some unique styling.
I'm sick of seeing Omega Speedmasters and Subs. These must be the two most verrated watches ever.
I want to see some IWC / Blancpain / JLC / Ball action.

And you'll have to wait another week to see some more JLC action from me… but it will be very well worth the wait.

The only reason youre tired of seeing the sub is cause Rolex sells so many of them, cause its such a great watch. Also literally 100 other companies copy the design and make homages, flat out copies or "inspired" designs.
Theres more than 1 way to make a diver. See AP Diver or IWC Aquatimer. But everybody copies the Rolex, cause the Rolex Sub is a tried and true tool watch. As are most Rolex's.
That being said, Divers arent really my thing. I own zero divers and if I were to buy a diver tomorrow I probably wouldnt get a Sub either. But I still have a deep appreciation and respect for the sub. I dont dislike it, I just dont lust after anything thats not a chronograph.
