What type of watch are you really looking for? Maybe you want to look around a bit more before pulling the trigger on something.

One of the sexiest bracelets, IMO. But if it's not to your taste:
Dial changes shades of blue under different lighting, and this particular model sports a ceramic bezel. A youthful, sexy piece.

If it were me, I'd look into the 2503.80:
The dial is more… minimalistic than the one you posted. Thoughts?

Oh, I see what type of "collector" you are now.
I wish you well in the future for when you try to scrape together a 5% discount on your solid gold submariner, or perhaphs a Hublot big bang is next on your agenda?

Well, it sounds as if you're settled on that particular Omega…
I think you just need a little nudge…

Mirin but… Pam is ok for the traditional Italian navy history, but if I had that much money/was looking for a GMT I'd definitely be looking elsewhere.
I feel like if you paid more attention to the horological value and less to the mainstream perception (wow that guys a baller, etc) you'd have a much better collection.
Merry christmas everyone.

But of course I'm not expecting any pics. I'm afraid this is just a case of you being jelly about someone else's money and choices

Ray.
But unless you're feeling generous and want to get me a late Christmas gift ( ), it shouldn't matter which model I I prefer… Which do you you prefer? There's no right or wrong answer here.

Bought a speedy reduced yesterday for 1k on ebay. The buyer backed out saying he is not in town to ship the item for another 2 weeks. Feel like I dodged a bullet, shopping for a speedy pro now.

You won't get the same level of brand prestige as a Rolex, and in stainless neither piece is going to be flamboyant or "gaudy", and if you buy it second hand you can always turn around and sell it for around the same amount if your not happy with it after a while.
