I'v realized I don't like any of the Omegas I have (Speedmaster, Chronostop Driver, etc) I need to find something that sticks... thinking of getting a 42mm Planet Ocean.

Try the Aqua Terra. It's got a rugged dressy feel to it - different than most seamasters or speedys.

Yes it is. I was lucky enough to grab one early on before prices sky rocketed!
It seems to continue to rise as it’s now called “the historic skipped olympics”
The size, dial, and no PCL make it a lot more wearable to me than the daytona
Don’t get me wrong, the daytona is a beautiful watch but I personally prefer the omega more in this case!

This has been a great thread. Lots of people always trying to say one is better than the other but in point of fact Rolex and Omega play rather well together in a collection.

Omega & Rolex are my favorite brands no question. No other brand makes dive watches like them.

Yes it is my friend. Chronostop Genéve ST 146.012/Cal 920. Omega made this Chronostop in 1969 for the italian market only.

This my collection..

I find that I’m wearing the AT’s more and more so considering selling 1 or more of the DJ 41’s......

Cheers
