I have 8 omegas and regret buying 4 of them. Simply too big for me but that's my own fault. I absolutely adore the 4 that I do wear though.

My Dad bought me a mid size Seamaster for my 21st birthday. I loved that watch, wore it 24/7 for 10 years including our wedding day.

Unfortunately after I bought my Sub it just felt WAY too small. I stopped enjoying wearing it so despite sentimental value it had to go.

I don't regret getting it however I don't regret selling it.

Hard watch to let go.

I would have done the exact same tho.

Icon6 No regrets, just the opposite.

My favorite Omega is the SMP Great White. Bought brand new in 2004 as a gift to self after a successful first deployment to IZ. Waited four weeks before AD found one in another store's inventory. Last year found a serviced 50th Anniversary SMP on TRF for under $2K and had to grab it. Last week bought meself a birthday present - brand new Speedmaster 9300 on leather. Love the trifecta!

Love my Omega Speedmaster Professional. Wouldn't buy another Omega, though. I feel like I have their best offering and would later regret any other watch they offer.

Owned an XXL Aquaterra and a 42mm PO during my big watch phase, in hindsight I guess i regret both and wish i had the knowledge then as I do now.
Since then I've bought a MW and CK for both my son and I respectively. That said aesthetically speaking none of the Omega collection outwith the Speedy's speak to me so I would be unlikely to buy anymore

Omega is a great brand with rich history but with so many "limited editions" it really pushes me away from it. I also grew tired of the divers "wart" valve.

Ever regret buying an Omega?


Actually, sold every single one I bought. I'm hoping the #speedytuesday one will stick.

My ownership journey with my PO

Year 1-3 Regret, wished it was a Sub or DSSD
Year 3-5 Complacent, found it to be a good watch, but desired other watches
Year 6-7 Appreciation and admiration for time keeping, matte dial, and overall how well the watch has aged.

For each Omega that I like there is an equal or better Rolex. I have no plans for picking up another Rolex and I have no plans to sell my PO.

Nope. My first and so far only nice watch is the blue dial Seamaster Diver 300M bought like in 2011. I wear it everyday and it's still going strong. No matter what other brands get added to the collection, I'm always going to keep this one.

Regretted? A couple of times actually!
First time, some 9 years ago, I bought Seamaster Pro mid-size. I thought that it would fit me perfect, but it just felt too small...so I flipped it!
(I regret selling it also, but that's another story)

Later I would buy Moonwatch that I was 100% sure it would suit me well, but somehow I was annoyed with manual winding movement...yeah, I was young and stupid back then!

Jokes aside, if you do a proper research before buying, there should be no regrets whatsoever, especially when it comes to brand like Omega!

Yes - Big Time

I wished I'd done it years earlier. Just wore my Speedy to see "Hidden Figures" in honor of those who helped make space flight possible.

That's what this thread is for. Please share.

You're the first person I've seen that had a mid size SMP too!

Never regret buying but selling any Omega you lose 50%.
