DSSD for Omega PO liquid metal

[psv]

Sensibel decision.

DSSD although too big imho, retains classic styling that will remain timeless.

Biggest issue with Omega is the frequent changing/redesign of the models (read, opposite of timeless), for this reason, a trade like that may end in buyers remorse.

imho, best move may be, if you are over the DSSD, and want something new, sell it out right and perhaps, broaden your sights to other options/brands?

In my opinion, this post represents the absolute and pure epitomy of Rolex bias / fan boy speak. Not really surprising on TRF. Really? To me, "timeless" simply means "timeless design". (i.e. classic simple lines that don't date). The PO has a "timeless design" in freakin' spades. Moreover, the PO design hews closely to the design of the classic Omega Seamasters of the past.

When it comes to the PO, "frequent changing/redesign" simply doesn't factor into the equation of "timeless" design.

I'd argue that the size and thickness of the DSSD renders it a HELLUVA LOT less timeless. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay less timeless. And I do mean waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

I actually tried on the DSSD today and was blown away...

I started doing the math/calculation of a flip, and the POLM LE was the only one that I thought that I would sacrifice for a DSSD...

but once I got home an dput the LM on my wrist - those thoughts disappeared...

THe LM is an amazing piece, and unllike most Limited edition Omegas ( Bond 50 anyone?) the LM is truly limited - only 1948 pieces...

The DSSD I think will be much easier to get later on...

This may seem like an apples to oranges comparison, but at 6 ft away, they wear remarkably similar to eachother...

I am definately an Omega fan and have several in my collection. I would love a PO liquid metal, but would not sell any of my Rolexs to get get one. I have a Deepsea also, but for me it's a keeper. Of course, it is your decission for what you want.

A lot of good point here. Having owned two Omegas and two Rolex watches, I have come to my own conclusion. The PO I had was extremely accurate. The only problem is when I went to flip it I got half of what I paid for it. Then I picked up an hour vision. Movement was even better and dare I say more accurate that any Rolex movement. I loved that watch but ended up trading for LV. After a year I lost interest in the LV (great watch but just wasn't my style). But when I sold the LV I got MORE than what I had in it. Lesson learned is that Rolex holds its value much better than many luxury watches. I'm sure there are a lot of reasons for this but it is what it is. Personally, I think the Omega 8500 movement is superior to most movements today - including Rolex (and I'm a current DJII owner). If you're buying watches with the idea to flip later, go with a Rolex. If you're buying watches to keep and want a reliable and touch watch you can't go wrong with Omega...or Rolex. My other opinion (and by no means do I mean to offend anyone) is I have a real issue with paying $5000+ for a watch that has base ETA movement - we all know the watches I'm talking about. ETA isn't a bad movement but I can't justify spending that kind of money on a luxury watch with a mass produced movement. Would you buy a Ferrari with a chevy engine? Of course not. Ok, I'll get off my soap box and wait for the replies.

sorry for the typos...should have proofed before posting.

I have both...The PO is a great watch that I loved wearing daily...Until I got my DSSD...Now I'm not sure it will ever come out of the safe again! I plan on getting the Omega silicon strap for it(when I can find one for less than $400!) and maybe just use it as a play time watch...In my humble opinion, it doesn't even compare to the Rolex...The PO looks and feels like a $2-$3k watch that I paid $6k for, the DSSD feels like all of the $10k that it cost!
