Love Omega

[superdog]

I know the complaints.

Ive got them too.

But damn, they do have some serious winners.

Now I am curious about these complaints!

[sensui]

Yes they do. And somehow still has me coming back with some questionable releases throughout the years. Enjoy in good health.

Nice duo Seth. Wanted to get your take on why you bought the new variant of the AT with the horizontal lines versus the vertical ones? Liked it better? Newer model? I tried it on recently & still like the vertical version. I was looking at the blue dial & found it more greyish blue than I liked. What are your complaints? Thickness?

I have lots of gripes with Omega these days but I got the model I wanted and it's love.

It's not like Rolex is perfect either. Just happy to enjoy the watches on my wrist.

Lots of hits and misses for me, but when they get them right I think they are great. Something for everyone. That’s why I like them - and the fact you can actually walk into an AD and buy one!

Thank you. I also have a speedy Tuesday.

I had the old day date AT version and I really liked it a lot. But it was too big for me. I’m not a little guy, but I’m not big either. And I like my watches just about 40mm.

This variant is on rubber. And I just love a good rubber strap watch. The dial, I honestly don’t know which I prefer. I’m genuinely good with either.

This one just fits me well. I actually almost let it go a couple of times. But everytime I put it back on, it’s love again. I expect I’ll be keeping it a long time at this point.

Endless limited editions that aren’t very limited.

Tons of variations to their line up.

Super thick/big cases.

They have so many nice pieces. I wish they would listen to much if the feedback. I so much prefer to wear an omega over a Rolex.

And they are so close to creating a nearly perfect watch.

Very nice duo! Just got a black dial 38mm Master Chronometer AT in last Friday. Absolutely love it! One thing I also really like is the case is noticeably thinner with the 8800 movement at 12mm than my 38.5mm blue "Skyfall" 8500 AT.

Looks great on you.

I would think this watch too is not appreciated the way it should be.

It is a super watch.

Glad it didn't sell. Interesting how that happens. But I am thrilled to be wearing it as I write this.

Thanks! Yeah I have to agree about it being underappreciated. Dare I say that I believe I like it more than my blue Skyfall AT. It fits my flat 6.5" wrist really well. Funny thing is when I put my 40mm Sub or 41mm SM300 MC back on they seem huge on my wrist, lol.

Omega hits that sweet spot for me too. I love this one. As I’ve said in the past, it was bought to mark the milestone of my second daughter’s birth. Just that alone makes it special to me.

[DonBateman]

I love them.

[vitalsignsrn]

What is the thickness of the 38.5mm case?

The cases are too thick. :-/

Two beautiful pieces, sometimes I wonder if I should’ve gotten a 300 instead of my Planet Ocean. Not that I have regrets, just that I see so many very attractive 300’s around. Enjoy

Fantastic looking watch, great dial. Nice to hear Omega is trimming down the thickness, and that strap looks great.

The SMP is so rich. I love it.

I agree these punch well above their weight class.

I nearly got a white dial one a ways back... damn vintage Rolex parts quickly drain the watch fund...

So many nice watches out there these days!
