First omega! Loving it

I've just received my Omega 1861 after going back and forth between with the 3863 and I've decided that with the discount I've received on the 1861 and no discount at all with the newer model I'll get the 1861 first just to see if I'll like it then upgrade later.

Can't believe how much I love it, despite loving the new bracelet nato is quite comfortable and new to me. The applied logo does feels more classic. I'm even considering to keep it and get an uncle seiko bracelet once I want to dress it up or get a snoopy strap

My girl fell in love with omega and got herself a 38mm speedy as well

Here's my humble collection. I think omega is probably the lightest watch I have making it quite comfortable compared to other watches. I do wish it's thinner when it sits on the wrist.
